S2 was their greatest creation, nothing more. Don't like the powerhouse of Samsung now. I would choose Sony for now. It's like choosing between a bugatti and a Ferrari. I'd choose Ferrari anytime.

          Even with 2x in gfx, is no where near as iPhone 4. And with iPhone 5 2x faster than iPhone 4S.

          Which makes iPhone 5 is 4x faster than SGSiii and 2x faster than SGS4 or Note 3 or Tab 3 or 4!

          Sammy needs to forget this S4 trash and bring in S5 or S6 to compare to iPhone 5!

                  What other thing could this guys do, then smartphones with Octa-core cpu:)))? Now, THAT'S true innovation (hapciu). I foreseen this since the - not so impressive - s3 came out. Don't expect to much innovation in the phones to support this cpu (i tell you that much)... Instead of optimizing and innovating... they do what they can (since they have nothing to copy anymore) so they're releasing useless cores. Telling to the mass: Hey, buy this, it has better cpu, doesn't eat that much battery:))). It is impressive that this works for them:)). My, what good things for the future this samsung can bring to the table. Such, that everyone want's to steal it:-J (haha). Incredible!

                    Anonymous, 10 Jan 2013samsung unbeatable? oh please. no one remains market leader... moreThey are unbeatable. Its been five years since launch of android, did you see anyother oem getting anywhere closer to them. Its a big gap between Samsung and whoever is next in line. and it's gonna take more than some xperia z to break the bar.

It just happens that samsung is leading the advancement of technology now. Look what happened to windows phones? Ppl said it only needed single core, but now there is also dualcore. The competition is only catching up. Only android can adapt to the fast advancement of hardware due to its open nature.

                          Now i will be able to browse internet on 3G without the phone heating at 40c Temperature.

                          Low Temp, Efficiency and Performance!! this is what is needed for upgrade!!

                            Samsung claims 8 core chipset will consume 70% less power compared to it's quad core devices,while ensuring better perfomance.So why not wait until octa core devices start rolling out instead of being hyperncritical?...Research and innovation should continue for the good of mankind and everything should be tested.

This is a weird way to do it. // No It`s not. It is all about performance per watt. At lower power state A15 will deliver 3 times lower P/W ratio than A7 with lower heat output. Reasonable enough?

Don't compare phone with computers.. To performtask using smart phone are limited.. Quad cores are more than enough to using apps and games..
