The s3 camera is way better than the n4s in pretty much everything.

I've only taken a few photos with the N4 so far,
Generally...
The S3 camera was brilliant inside in well lit shots (photos with flash came out awful) and the N4 can't match that,
The S3 was always slightly off with certain colours outside, the N4 doesn't seem to suffer this problem.
Things I've noticed...
HDR mode works better on the N4,
The N4 lacks image stabilisation which I liked on the S3,
N4 images look slightly less sharp when viewed full size on a pc (not sure if this is due to the lens, less sharpening or more noise suppression),
When viewed on a PC N4 images seem to have better colour in certain situations (for example, outside my daughters pink coat always looked washed out with my S3 but it looks perfect on the N4),
My S3 occasionally did funny things to peoples faces, made them look like they had been slightly distorted, I could never work out what caused it, it just popped up now and again in photos, not noticed this with the N4.
All my comparisons have been done on my PC and not the phone screens.

That's good to know , Cruz the pictures on the actual phone screens u can't compare ,I shall upload and checc on comp as well

What? A lot of people find the Samsung/Touchwiz camera app to be more "feature-filled" than the AOSP one (especially prior to 4.2), so it's not ridiculous. But thanks for your contribution.

Why can't he be if that's important to him? Some people won't buy it because of lack of an SD slot, or a non-removable battery, and so on. To each their own.

For the price this is a great device but if you use your camera a lot and want somewhat good pictures then yeah id stick with the s3 , some people say if you want good pictures buy a dedicated camera but that's not what people are usually asking , night time pictures aren't that great on this or I got a faulty device I guess

One area the iPhone 5 & Lumia beats the S3 is...

.. performance in the daylight sun. I find the S3's screen is so hard to read outside on a sunny day even on 100% brightness. This was the only thing I miss about my Lumia & the only thing I think will be nice on the iPhone 5.
Will Samsung ever address this issue on future phones or is it just a shortcoming of AMOLED screens?

I don't see why they can't incorporate some type of filter in the screens as the Lumia does.

Yes, the S3 screen isn't as bright as the other two phones you mentioned but its not that bad either.

Some people need to stop being butthurt when somebody said something is better on another phone. OLED Screens are worse than IPS screens in sunlight, that's just fact.. most of us know, there's nothing you can do about it.
OP If you want you can try using Siyah kernel and adjust the max brightness value in the STweaks app, it helps a tiny bit. How it affects the health of your screen over a long period of time is anyones guess.
What you guys on about i have the International S3 and it is perfectly normal and very bright i can see it in very sunny conditions. When i first bought the phone it was a sunny day i was sitting in the park messing about with it i can see everything on my screen. Unlike my HTC Desire this was awesomely bright. Anyway i dunno what is wrong with your one though.
Maybe i am wrong who knows but i am not trying to be a fan boy i have both iphone 4s and s3 both are good phones in their own way. but the s3's brightness is perfect for me.
you must live in the desert.
under sunlight, viewing from an angle S3 out performs the lumia 900, i own both.
and where did u get iphone5 to test the screen.
hope apple is not paying you

My Lumia was worlds better than my AT&T S3 (at 100%) under basic sunlight, not sure if there is a difference in the screens for Int. S3 vs mine, I hadn't thought there was? The iPhone 5 has iSight that will act to combat the sunlight wash, so it was a pre-emptive prediction, as the S3 has no tech in it to do that. I don't get why they didn't put the tech of Lumia screen into the S3, it would make sense.

The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.

I stopped watching when the review said the S4 has a brighter screen...that is a load of crap I have seen these phones side by side the S 4 is nowhere near the same brightness..every review has said the opposite sorry #fail you must have had it turned down by accident cause its way brighter man

It may not be wrong if OP said the S4 is brighter because the One uses different display panels, and OP may have gotten one that is calibrated not as bright.
As for the sound, I have also read that the One speaker is clear, not not much louder.... again, I don't really care if it's loud or not because being clearer is much more important.
No doubt, I'm loving my One

Could you please check which screen you own? Because there is a screen made by Samsung (C1) which is not as bright as the average HTC One Screen (C2) or the Sharp one.
HTC ones do vary. Not sure why you are making the connection C1=Samsung and C2=Sharp however. Can you cite a reference for this?

I will post comparisons once I get it bro, I really want the one to do well, I like samsung and I am biased towards touchwiz but I am sick of samsungs complacency... the one doing better will be just the rude awakening that samsung needs... do you know there is a camera/phone hybrid coming out thats gonna be called the galaxy s4 zoom? nope not the galaxy camera zoom but the galaxy s4 zoom and with a qhd screen...grr!
my biggest issue with htc was battery life... thats improved a lot with the one and each day my love for touchwiz grows a little lesser and i like my one a little more

[Q] Eye Scrolling Nexus 4?

Hello,
I was wondering if eye scrolling and some other S4 features can be ported to the nexus.
If possible, it would be amazing to use!
I think yes, but question is are you so lazy that you wont even lift a finger to scroll? ...
Leap Motion would be cool!
Have you tried the motion scrolling stuff on the S4? It's not that impressive. Learning curve is steep. And once you get the hang of it, you'll realize that it's still infinitely easier to just scroll with your finger.

The Nexus 4 lacks the hardware it needs to do so. Thus, it's highly unlikely that feature will be on the N4.

The S4 uses the front camera to provide that functionality, so the Nexus 4 has the hardware to provide that fuction.
That function is not a goal. Around light must by strong, face exactly before the phone. You will rather scroll through your fingers.

S4 worth the price?

Hey guys!
I am planning to buy a HTC One or a S4. (Oh another of those comparisons)
Well, the One is sold at SGD 488 (USD 385) for the 32 GB version, while the S4 (GT-I9505) is sold at SGD 578 (USD 457) for the 16 GB version.
Is the S4 really worth the extra price and lesser storage space?
I only have 8gb SD cards around, I care for heavy gaming like MC4 and GTA VC and good ROMs. I also take pictures and videos quite often, and I DO care for a SUPERSMOOTH UI and GREAT BATTERY LIFE.
Which should I get? Thanks in advance.

I don't own the HTC One, but I just hate its ugly face with the 2 ugly speakers on the top and on the bottom. Even its build quality seems to be what some people call "metal Premium"(that always make me laugh), its performance and its uni body design just doesn't appeal me. However it seems that its screen and its camera are very good.
Battery wise you can always get a second battery and a dock. This way you'll always have a second fully charged battery with the Samsung.
With the HTC, you'll have to rely on the charge of a single battery and/or frequent chargings.

I understand that the Nexus is very cheap and affordable when bought from the Play store, but in my country Singapore, it is not that cheap as there is no Google Play services available here apart from the app market.
Thanks for the suggestion though..

I have had the Nexus 4 too and in smoothness and speed when opening apps and widgets it is much faster than the S4. But then the N4 doesn`t have a 7GB rom + features But i missed some very usefull features offered by Samsung that i like to use and after a while i found the Nexus 4 a bit boaring.So overall i would say that the S4 is not fully worth the price of 650 euro`s that for 369 euro`s the Nexus 4 is a very good phone and offers the latest updates by Google.

During intense gaming, do any of you get any lag at all? I know the S4 has a great GPU, just wanna see it in context.

I run all my games flawlessly, a little lag happens rarely sometime, but globaly, it runs everything perfectly. I have the i9500 octacore. I don't try the i9505 one. From all the review and test I saw, i9505 suffer from little lag using Air features and has less fps in games. I tried Zombiewood(gameloft) on i9505 and i9500, when there are a lot of zombies who appear, the i9505 become really laggy whereas the i9500 still run flawlessly.
Well I am quite satisfied with mine.. I must say that it is fast enough and even faster with custom roms and kernels...
Camera is pretty good... Not in the dark but then again does not matter much
Quality of video is great and the sound is okay..
I have had an HTC before and it was okay but so sadly built...
The screen here is great... I have no problems with mine

I'm currently using unofficial 10.1 cm , and I'm really happy with it
Do the games experience frame drops when many instances are on the screen like what madawcisrich said?

Off topic.. I used Sony for years.. Love their design and UI... Which is why I have modded the stock message app so it has the smileys from Sony.. Just wanted to share as I saw your username
On topic... I use faux kernel and deodexed AME2 rom... There are custom roms but I loose my LTE no matter what I do, with the deodexed rom from djembey I can mod it as I want and I have pretty good battery life... All that can be black on my screen is black almost. As amoled don't use power on blacks

Thanks. Can someone using the GT-I9505 post the answer to my last question? Thanks! 3D performance is one of the deciding factors of me buying the S4.

3D performance.. i have not had any games that lag or anything...which one did you go for ?
I went for the S4, decided that I needed the 13 MP camera. Can we change the speed of animation to be faster (when opening apps, switchong between apps, etc) to be like the One's? I hate the speed of the S4, makes the phone look slow when it is not.
