genn, 10 Jan 2013are you really sure z is outdated. haha. i think samsung no... moreDo you even know a single thing about processors other than cores? Snapdragon S4 Pro is Krait which is based on ARM A9. This new processor Samsung has announced is based on ARM A15. Almost twice the performance but almost twice less battery consumption! The phone made by Sony is yet again, going to look out-dated beside next phones by Samsung and HTC with A15 processors. They just can't keep up with processors.

So when you don't need them when the SCREEN IS ON, you still have to turn them off individually when not in use. And SERIOUSLY, pressing a toggle in the notification bar wouldn't take away 2 seconds of your life for f0(k'$ sake! You are too melodramatic! LOL.
And you are not required a third party app to turn them off. Most launchers have the option to turn them all f0(king off right in the notification bar. It also has nothing to do with multi-tasking. Gosh! You need to practice your brain! Go and solve some sudoku puzzles. If there is an OS that needs to work on their multi-tasking, it's iOS!
The ability to tweak things with an Android device is not a weakness. It is a strength!

Plastic is not an invention its a material.
Your Nokia can't even make a thing for their phones they import them from Foxccon like Sony.
And BTW Sony and Nokia plastic is much cheaper than Samsung.

AnonD-86903, 09 Jan 2013and what about waterproof and beautiful design??
can they ... moreis this article about a phone? no. it's about arm's new chips. waterproof chips? waterproof beauty? no. it's about chips. stop complaining. it's not even yours yet. not even out yet. besides if 8 cores will be a trend, then 4 cores, "which is more than enough" will then be cheaper. so it's a win-win situation isn't it? if doesn't work, then don't purchase it.
when the universe showered common sense, were you hiding?

People who talk about poor battery life with big little are absolutely dumb and are just here to bash samsung. Cant you people understand the fact that only any one of the quad core will be active simultaneously? Idling with A7 cores will give us an amazing battery life.

Covering Android's lags by number of cores from the chip?
That's sad! Hey Sammy please learn how to optimize OS just like HTC & SONY did!
Please hire a designer as well, as your Galaxies' designs are cheap and somewhat copycat!
And last but not the least, screen saturation is the most dealbreaker for most people to go their money on Sammy's Galaxies.
Lets' see a race (benchmark) between SIV & i5S later this year.
