    AnonD-180314, 30 Dec 2013I assume you did not read the bit about 40% less power cons... moreand 4.4.2 is already i think about 18 % less memory hungry than other versions of Android so pretty much now Samsung has all the chances to minimize lag and make it much closer to the stock Android experience. They just need to fix touchwiz because the innovations are already here to make it smooth.

      Not being a fan of any mobile manufacturer as I use a phone as a tool not a status symbol, I still see people complaining about overkill in tech, well it's development. I'm old enough to remember when pc's had 75mhz processors, yes that isn't a typo, mhz. I remember people complaining that faster chips were not needed. I do agree that batteries in phones could certainly do with improvement but look at the power demands compared with older phones such as Nokia's 3310. As these developments happen so does the ability to take advantage of them.

        AnonD-178450, 30 Dec 20134 GB RAM will need 64-bit processor, and 64-bit processor b... moreIts not a necessity to have 4 Gb of RAM for 64 bit chips. It just is a benefit from it. Other features/benefits are complex algorithm apps can run smother and faster, higher framerates, faster app opening time etc. I dont know why people think that 64 bit wont work without 4 gb of ram when the person who made that claim (Qualcomm employee) was fired 2 weeks after.

          up until this year from the big players only Apple used DD3 RAM but that isnt true anymore because the Note 3 this year came with 3 Gb of DD3 RAM instead. Iphones have only 1 Gb of RAM because IOS is very memory and energy efficient and they used DD3 Ram of higher bandwith but damn Samsung im looking up to when you implement that DDR4 DRAM on phones. I just need Samsung to invest more time on Touchwiz in the performance aspect not only in features most of us dont use.

                              I find it funny that people who see advances keep going on about improved battery and better design. I'm pretty sure if they improve just battery and design, those people asking for just that will still have something to complain about.

                                UHD mobile phone screens... such a marketing gimmick. uses LOADS of battery and looks the same as 1080p

                                  I think Samsung must focus to its hardware also not only the software. It sound good a 4gb ram lpddr4 I hope it will not lag and battery life of course.

                                        Seems overkill to me, my i9100 with its single GB of ram and slow 1.2ghz dual core processor hasn't come up against anything it cannot do. With the newer iterations of android (namely kitkat) supposedly having less system requirements to run properly I can only assume touchwiz is going into overbloat mode!
                                        Keep your ram and 64 bit octocores and make a thicker phone with a minimum 4000 mAh battery that can last a week of light use or a dayor two of very heavy use.
