Not when it comes to Apple. Somehow they've "hand-dicapped" the iPhone...even if the screen size, aspect ratio and number of pixels increased. Thats all irrelevant...still hand-dicapped.
Got a tip for us?

Really good review of the HTC One vs the GS4 AMOLED beats super LCD 3!

How so?
Are you saying the extra screen size and extra resolution doesn't add anything?
What he wrote went by you, or just deliberately obtuse?
Pretty clear to me that he meant it loses real estate compared to an increase in size in both dimensions.

well for one they didn't use a HD standard like 720P like everyone else so we have to encode movies to a custom resolution
The low light shots does question the creditibility of the reivew. All the SGS4 shots have been exposed for the foreground (look how the sky is blown out) whereas the ONE,s shots have been exposed for the sky. The daytime shots look good on both, nothing to choose between the two. People should stop pixel peeping at 100% crops, theres more to making better photos.
Why would you need to encode movies to a custom resolution?
I encode my HD movies in 720p. 720p videos play fine on the iPhone.
You also get a bigger image on the 4" iPhone than 3.5" iPhone. Imaging that.

how do you play 1280x720 resolution on a screen that is 1136x640

Pretty clear to me you don't know what you are talking about.

You tap the video and press play. The video processor handles the scaling and resampling. It's like magic.
I was being sarcastic. Its a significant addition. The fact that its not "True HD" is only something for Fandroids to moan about. Because it practical use the difference is pretty much negligible.

it is 0.3 inch.
Look at the picture. You see the screen is quite bigger. That's about 14% more viewing area on S4 compared to One. Taking into a/c that One has the "menu" strip at the bottom when running app, you are looking at something like >20%.
Compare the S4 to Iphone5, S4 has a 57% larger screen.
yeah I am,the iphone 5 is not a true HD 16:9 display it does not play full 720p video without down scaling it before or on the fly.
its not rocket science lol
do you really believe you are actually getting the whole video and not a cropped version of it?please don't tell me you think it also plays 1080p too
Just read on a forum about a review done on the octo version of the gs4,bascially 10% performance boost over the snap 600 and it got 2 hours longer video run time from using the new a7 cores.
pretty pissed we are not getting the exynos version with lte support
even it being clocked 500-600 MHz slower than the new A15 cores are not even breaking a sweat beating the older krait cores.
Can you imagine if they were clocked the same?

There was no additional horizontal width added to the vertical increase, hence a loss of real estate that should have been there had they increased the phone linearly, instead of just stretching it.
a 16:9 ratio will give a lesser screen area compared to 4:3 of previous iphone having the same diagonal
Review source ? Not the forum but the review.
Edit... Found this
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/27/samsung-galaxy-s4-user-interface-walkthrough/
Benchmarks are great but there is a discrepancy.
Antutu reports 1800mhz x 4 when official GS4 Exynos 5 specs say 1.6ghz ? So something is a little funky.

Either way it's still mighty powerful.

This is true, the video would have to be cropped /or have black borders. But because the iPhone 5 resolution is very close to 720p you probably won't notice, unless you're watching it side by side with a 720p screen
I understand its not playing in 1080. But yo made it sound as if the responsibility of the conversion fell upon the user which is false. The phone can handle this just fine.
I'm on Verizon that uses CDMA and lte so I don't think it will work on my network
They might assign different weights to each of the three catergories.
Also as for the sunlight thing, the review stated that the S4 screen was less reflective making it easier to use in sunlight.
Cute. Ignore the other dimension. Head in the sand much?
I suppose a 5" iPhone 6, still the same old width, will be perfect too. Unless it is wider as well. Then of course THAT will be perfect lol.

sammobile claims that have the latest and final version of the gs4 with the octo core and the new firmware has the octo clocked at 1.8ghz!!!! looks like Samsung wants to pound on the htc one in every performance segment
I understand why Samsung went with the s4 and exynos though as they had no choice since the s4 soc has built in 4g for the usa market,it just suck knowing there is a better gs4 out but with only 3g modem

I posted that above ^
If HTC / Expansys don't ship my one by Tuesday I'm going to cancel my order and wait for the exynos version of the G4 even if it's looking like it will be €100 more than the one.
