    Jati Royat, 13 Sep 2013This is like jokes for samsung.. first, they release origin... moreYou my friend is the biggest joke here. You must me having your first smartphone I guess. This is nothing new for Samsung. They have been doing this since the first Galaxy S. Sony is doing the same as well. XPERIA Z just started penetrating globally, why release Z1 and soon Z1 ultra mini and etc? Even HTC is following Samsung's recipe of success with htc one maxx, one mini and etc but unfortunately neither do these companies have the capacity, money nor resources to produce many devices in a year. They are struggling to get profit here.

      This is like jokes for samsung.. first, they release original s4 already with two variants which is Exynos and Snapdragon processor.. After that, they release s4 mini, and then s4 active with s600 and s4 zoom.. Now they want to release s4 with s800 and s4 active with s800.. So why they create s4 active with s600 on the first time.. Will they release s4 zoom with s800 too? Ridiculous.. They want to give a jokes for their customers.. Glad i've decide to buy Xperia ZL back then.. Now, i will waiting Z1 coming to my country..

Sony Xperia Z1 was the flagship of Sony to compete against Samsung S4 and I-Phone 5.. Not the Xperia Z.. To educate you.. They released Sony Xperia Z a bit late in order to provide a competitor for S3 which was a bit late of a release from Sony but they still managed to do so as they are venturing the quad core battle.. and now the Z1 came to at least make it in the battle against S4, IPhone 5, and such.. and may I remind you that the Z was released more than 6 months ago.. Not like the S4 Active which released just a month or two ago and now here comes an 800 version.. Pretty much like GS4 SD 800 and GS4 True octa.. Whats next?? GS4 SD 1000 in 2014?!? Learn to compare dude..

                Deym!! My Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Snapdragon 800 which released a week ago got outdated with a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active True Octa after 1 week!! Gonna sell this one and buy the faster one now!! Hope it lasts me for a month not getting outdated.. Oh S**T!! Snapdragon 1000 will release in 2014.. Better wait for it maybe they might release Active SD 1000 in Feb. 2014 then.. LOL.. Really Samsung?!?

                  LOL!! Samsung is getting more pathetic with the phones they are releasing.. Just to compensate for their lagging OS they now release "TRUE OCTA"?!? Then the previous one was false.. And so the trend in a year they will release a: S4 with False Octa, S4 Snapdragon 600, S4 Snapdragon 800, S4 True Octa, then Will update the S4 Active with 800.. LOL.. Next year its 16cores?!? Is that it?!? Nothing to copy anymore?!? And by the way.. Lame update on S4 Active going SD 800 just to match the Sony Xperia Z1.. Pathetic.. You won't match it with just water proofability alone you know.. And only Samsung Fanboys are going to buy all these things.. Probably fanboys will now say: "At least we have lots of options".. Well.. That's a fanboy's way of looking at it.. But its obviously a lousy line-up.. Do you mean before I buy a samsung S5 I probably need to wait for a couple of months before doing so because they might release a faster version of it?!? At least Apple does this with IP5 and 5s only.. not with a 5ss and 5s Active.. LOL.. Lame competition.. Only people in the right mind will know what I mean.. Oh well..

Yea, that's what you do, follow up one poor selling model with another that has the same design with a few more features. Sorry, but that's stupid and the facts about the S4 sales says different.

                        Shame Samsung cant live with fact Sony is coming back, Shame they have to make three devices for what Sony has in one. S800, decent camera and ip certification equals Z1 not three phones.

                            1. Can support 4GB+ ram which the iphone 5s clearly don't have
                            2. Support 64 bit apps which is not available at the app store yet
                            3. Great battery life (dual efficient cores)
                            Advantages of exynos 5420 octa :
                            1. Crazy computing power(4 cortex a 15 at 1.9 ghz + 4 cortex a7 at 1.3 ghz peak)
                            2. Super powerful GPU (mali t628mp6 @600 mhz )
                            3. Crazy multitasking (8 cpu cores means 8 threads which really helps multitasking)
                            4. Amazing battery/performance due to hmp ( using the right core for the right task)

                              as i remember htc was king in desire/S1 period. and what did they do? Releasing flagship every couple of months.

                              And where is htc now? DOWN

                                This one beat hard the Octa. Im not an iPhone fan, but the truth is there.....also the hot stuff for now is from iPhone. The fingerscan in phone with this design is now from them.

                                  This is something I dont get it from Samsung and it makes me mad about the poor care they take to their followers.

                                  Why they release an product and two weeks later release the same product with better specs? and then in one month later they release the same product more powerful?.

                                  This is not good, since the first one will feel betrayed since their 'new and shiny phone" is old and weak compared with the "NEW" 4 weeks newer product.

                                  And part of the guilt are from the buyer....helping Samsung flood the market. Im happy with my S3 and have not need to get (for now) the S4, better wait for S5..but not sure anymore.

                                        9500 and 9505 model.
                                        This bad bad new for those already bought previous s4 model.
                                        I highly believes end of 2013 .....samsung will announce that year 2013 is bad year for their sale.due to poor reception of s4 from buyer and so many other flagship from other android o.e.m.
                                        Year 2013 is a tough year for any smartphone brand to monopoly sale including Apple.
                                        2103 = no winner......
