          Apple people please just buzz off. This has nothing to do w/ Apple. Who cares about apple. GS4 is going to be out of this world. My girl has an apple, but she is a Blond. So its cool. But I love to hack the hell out of Android phones. Apple is cool, But Galaxy S lines are to me so much sweeter.

            I think Samsung Galaxy series have crossed the level of Apple iPhone quite a while ago. iPhone is not threat for S3, S4, or following series. Although iPhone is smoothest interface, due to lack of innovation and features, its left in the backstage...But in the field of tablets, Apple iPad is unbeaten and any competitor is far from closing the deal...

                you people are really stupid if you think that performance matters at this stage. All these a15 cores from different companies would be able to play 4k video without a hickey. There would be no graphic heavy games that they won't be able to handle for more than a year to come. So why are you guys disappointed in any damn way?? Just consider battery/display/storage/shape/durability at this point or even your choice for OS and stop talking about octa or quad at this point as even my note2 is powerful enough to handle every damn thing you can throw at it for a year to come.

                      because both of them(4 // 4) different ARMcortex (A15 + A7)

                          Everything runs better and faster on iPhones! The problem with Droid phones is Android itself. It is a decade behind in APIs. Even WP8 beats android on pretty much everything. I mean you cannot seriously expect much from a Linux kernel built into a 100MB OS...

                              Not a Samsung fan but I like how they're raising the bar. Hopefully this will push Apple to make the 5s even better. Competition is good for the end customer.

                                  SXG 544 does not support Opengl es 3.0. deal breaker for me. I shall buy most likely LG pro.
