    AnonD-174828, 19 Aug 2013Hahaha, now I really have suspects that you work for Samsun... moreNote 2 isn't an RGB Amoled it's pentile with different arrangement and it's not that great except if your'e watching YouTube or movies on it other than nope.

      Hahaha, now I really have suspects that you work for Samsung. Of course the screen of s4 is sharper than s2. The point is that Samsung already confessed that they can't reach high ppi with Amoled technology without pentile. Which means they wouldn't use pentile, if they could do it as real RGB. Of course you can't tell by naked eye, but even though s4 is of higher ppi, the screen of Note2 can be preferred by tech enthusiasts, because it is a very good real RGB Amoled Screen and not pentile. It is a matter of principle to avoid pentile and go for the real thing. For me Samsung is so far the best smartphone brand, but sometimes they also have such weaknesses.

                    Here is my opinion, but first let me be as transparent as possible. I have a WP8 HTC 8X, as well as an iPad and wifey has an iPhone 5. I have used for years, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Android. I switched to Windows Phone for something different. I liked the UI and how it flowed. I have not regretted moving to WP. It's fast, efficient, logical and functional. I like Apple devices and Android devices but for some when I switched to WP, I don't feel the need to jump to a new device every 6 months. WP has some down sides - the adoption rate sucks so not many other people have one. The app selection is not on par with Apple and Android, although 95% of the good, quality apps are there (there just aren't 160 variants of a fart app). I use 3rd party Vine and Instagram apps and there is not a noticeable difference. If I was walking into a cell store to pick up a new device, today, I'd grab the Nokia 920/925/928 or the Nokia 1020 over the iPhone 5 or SG4 or Moto X or HTC One. If you are into photography, grab the Nokia 1020. The pics are amazing (search some Flickr sites). One WP feature I love but is rarely mentioned: the dedicated camera button. Bottom line: if you like rows of app icons and a beefier app universe, stick with Apple/Android. If you want to try something different, try the WP.

                      Thank god for Nokia, or the Win 8 phones would actually be in trouble. The quality apps are on the way every day, who gives a crap about having a million really. It's nice to see Nokia a doing the innovating while Apple is busy explaining why you don't really need that anymore. The Nokia 1020, with the advantage of all the Nokia apps, is outstanding. And It's nice to see that no one is even questioning the fact that the camera blows away the competition, it's not even close and probably won't be for quite some time to come. Kudos Nokia, and hurry up Instagram, I bet you will look really great on the platform, so move it along.

                          display of iphone5 is brighter, much more natural and it produces optimum contrast .

                          and also u know, highend games are running with more fps,and better graphics ,more than butter smooth.

                              AnonD-148581, 19 Aug 2013which is better i9500 or i9505?in term of gamingi9500. In some games i9505 may produce better frame rates but the gpu in i9500 has massive fill rate advantage which will not let it lag . but i9505 lags in some games. In the end both are great.

                                AnonD-174029, 18 Aug 2013guys .. which is the best i9500 or i9505 battery wise?i9505 is better in just one category and that is battery. Other than that i9500 has better processor, camera, audio quality etc.

                                  Don , 18 Aug 2013What about S4 and Note2 screens? Can you compare the two of... moreI am not a professional reviewer by the way but yeah this is an easy one.

                                  look note 2 has 720 by 1280 pixels display spread over 5.5 inches. It grants it a pixel density of around 257ppi which is rather too low for a high end phone and hence I can easily see individual pixels and hence the screen doesn't look good. it is not pentile though and it means it has full set of subpixels but that too at this pixel density is not enough.

                                  In contrast, s4's screen is the best Samsung has produced till date. it has a 1080 by 1920 display over a smaller screen of 5 inches giving it an incredible 441 ppi and hence pentile or not doesn't matter. You can't see individual pixels no matter how hard you try. It looks like a homogenous surface. and that's what we want.

                                  In other areas also s4 wins . It has more natural and pleasant colors, it can display accurate whites and it has a great color gamut.

                                  look note2's screen is also great but s4's is incredible. There is no competition between these 2.
