The Exynos 5450 chipset comes up again, but can the S IV really have four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 2GHz?

@GSMA, I think your website has helped popularized Samsung devices. Please brought up this issue about hardware to SGS4.

Samsung needs to improve hardware category:
> ALUMINIUM case instead of polycarbonate
> Battery must be 3500 to 4500mAh level
> Exynos 5240 processor
> 2GB ram

    Akash, 21 Nov 2012In my opinion 13MP camera is too much. Thiswill just eat u... moreWhat are you on about?! There would be an option to a lower resolution like in any unit. The 13 mp option is welcomed, and i hope they put in a good lens with it.

      SAMSUNG please have ALUMINIUM CASE for SGS4 for it feels to be premium device.

      I know Samsung would bring "awe" and "wow" effect in features.

      Improve quality design and material on the casing is my greatest anticipation to Samsung devices.

      Couple the ALUMINIUM CASE with:
      > 3500 to 4500mAh battery
      > 2 GB ram
      > 1080p 441+ Super AMOLED PLUS display
      > SD card slot
      > 16/32/64 Internal memory
      > Loaded with top guns from SGS3

        Yes, you don't deserve owning the Note.

Nokia might not be the top everything and their phones might be a little thicker but they way still among the best. You have Nokia to thank for many things. Nokia still makes beautiful high quality devices with usually the best camera usually only rivaled by Samsung there. The 920 has some amazing technology in it for sure. It does a have a ccouple draw backs yes but many advantages. One said thing is Nokia should make a Droid.

                    In my opinion 13MP camera is too much. Thiswill just eat up the memory. 8MP is perfect for a phone.

And yes if you check the quality of the pixon12 in the compare tool it still holds up to others extremely well.

                        hi. i have an ios, android, and wp8 devices. i will not mention brands (well, obviously ios is apple) and models of those i use currently. android is so far the only opensource mobile os, and these hardware innovations that android oems are pushing for are meant to be for exploit of developers primarily, while end-users comes last. just look at it that way instead of bashing each other for your os preferences.

                          I hope Samsung uses better sensor than those current 13MP that we can find in LG Optimus G or Xperia T: they're just crap. Note 2 users should be happy Samsung decided to go with 8MP because they have better performing, less noisy device.

                          I'd really much like Samsung coming with 8MP sensor in the SGS4 if only it was some next-gen tech, especially regarding low-light capability. We don't really need anything more than 8MP in a phone.

The Lumia 920 is out for sometime now and a lot of reviews have already been made and the general concensus is that it has one of the best camera on a phone. In fact, only another Nokia beats it, the 808 PV. Go ahead, check engadget, the verge, mobiletechcrunch, technobuffalo. NFC has long been on Nokia since 2007 on Nokia 6131. And unlike Samsung, Nokia actually have use for NFC. They use to pair their phones with wireless headsets and speakers. The wireless charging comes in different forms, a plate, a pad, a pillow, a stand and you can even charge the phone wirelessly just by placing it ovr the JBL speaker of which are all provided by Nokia. The screen is not just HD. It's supersensitive. It can be used with gloves, fingernails, keys, fork or just virtually anything and has a fast 60Hz refresh rate similar to those HDTV monitors. And as I've said the polycarbonate on Lumia 920 is a different one. It's scratch-resistant. The Lumia 920 is the only truly innovative phone released this year.

In 2004 nokia made a Near Field Communication forum. Nfc was used for paying parking paying and many others. In 2006 Nokia 6131 was the first NFC phone ever made. 920 has a PureMotion HD+ display. Way better then galaxy s*it3. You ain't gonna see everything in slow motion as you see on s3 specially on white screen. Nokia maps is freee eee eee for life time. Thickness counts, and what that s*hit3 has, it is just to damn thin to call it polycarbonate. Do some learning before you come here and make a total full out of your self.

                                      I so much do not like SAMOLED after my terrible Galaxy Note screen. It is so ugly no words can describe. I will try to avoid AMOLED at all costs. Previous rumors suggested that S4 will have LCD and I was happy but now I am not. :-(
