The statement is in reference to fluidity in key areas like web browsing, mobile gaming, video/photo editing, and other cases where SoC performance is a significant contributing factor towards a good user experience.
I don't think the iPhone 6s' still image output is the best I've seen...
I agree, but to some extent it's hard to show the difference as there are a lot of factors going on there. Probably the easiest way to see the difference that the A9 makes in browser performance is to go to a certain tech site which is extremely heavy on system resources and try scrolling around...
I'm not sure I ever received an email regarding an offer to review the Xperia Z3. I have the Xperia Z3v though and I was profoundly disappointed by the display, camera, UI, and design given just how much hype there was around the phone. The Xperia Z3v should be in at least a few of the test...
Ryan pointed me to this thread so I figured I should respond directly to this question.
I've asked at least a few people within the industry at this point and as far as I can tell calibration of displays is usually done on a batch basis because calibrating every unit is expensive and would...
Atom has better single core performance by far. I would probably rather go with Atom but x86 does have compatibility issues with Android at times for programs that use the NDK and are not recompiled for x86.
SoC= system on a chip. The CPU/GPU are off. The PMIC is the power management IC. It has to be powered in order to manage the power delivered to a battery during charging.
It's off. Of course, it not actually possible to have it completely turned off for charging, but the SoC is completely power gated, the only thing that might have power is the PMIC.
The reviewer (Brian Klug) seems to suggest that the SGS4 throttles all the time, while the One doesn't do it nearly as often due to the aluminum unibody conducting the heat away from the SoC. (And into the hand, but that's the compromise.)
If you're going to give a shot, I sure hope you have a clean-room. You have to either figure out how to dissolve the epoxy without damaging the rest of the panel or apply even heat to the glass to melt the epoxy without melting the phone.
After that you have to either reheat the epoxy and use...
What are you even talking about? S400 doesn't have Adreno 320, only Adreno 305.
This has Krait 300, period. If you really doubt this then send a tweet to @nerdtalker asking about it.
The GS3 had MSM8960. I don't know if you guys bother following along with SoC specs, but the Droid Ultra/Mini/Maxx and Moto X have an MSM8960T, which is two Krait 300s @ 1.7 GHz and Adreno 320, which is equivalent to APQ8064T with two CPU cores cut out.
Try Kii keyboard or Google keyboard. Either one might be better than Swiftkey.
Also, I highly suggest using the stock browser, it's usually the most power efficient.
16MP is going to be terrible, especially if it's still 1/3.0". The Titan 2 tried it already and it sucked horribly.
Not liking the glossy finish either, LG needs to stop playing follow the leader and put a matte finish on their phones.
No, that's incorrect. Samsung claimed it's Adobe RGB but it was explicitly stated in the Galaxy S4 review that it is just natural mode relabeled without changes.
You're also horrible at reading these color gamut charts. The colored triangle represents sRGB, the larger spectrum represents what...
Dude, do you not get basics of colorspace? UL uses Adobe RGB, Displaymate uses sRGB. On a platform like Android that doesn't have colorspace control, the display needs to be clamped to industry standard, which is sRGB.
lothar, stop posting multiple times.
Anyways, the CNet review seems to just have completely wrong color results. Displaymate and Anandtech reviews definitively show that the One has much better color calibration, less color shifting, higher brightness, better gamma, and lower power consumption.
Severe butthurt going on in this thread but anyways.
This doesn't mean anything. Movie mode is still very much oversaturated. If you want the oversaturated colors that's fine, but that's personal opinion.
The GS4 AMOLED display is definitely getting there but Samsung has a ways to go before...
You've completely missed his point.
It's a Samsung OLED panel for the love of god, he's showing that it's completely possible for Samsung to properly calibrate their panels, they just can't spend the ~1 USD to do things right because they don't give a damn.
Talk about sensationalism. The only reason why this matters is that devices like that GS4/L928 will use AWS LTE when possible to offload the 700 MHz band. If the One ever makes it to Verizon, it will probably have AWS LTE anyways because of Verizon's new RFP.
That's funny because the Anandtech review seems to note that the S4 has more issues with throttling/high internal temps than the One.
Aluminum conducts heat, who knew. :P
Basically the important bits were all covered in Part 1. Part 2 is going to come... eventually.
Only one person does these reviews, so things take a while.
Honestly speaking, I can say the One has zero issues with heating. Just place it in front of an AC vent in the car and it will literally stay ice cold.
I don't even know how you can say this because AOSP-based ROMs are not the only form of development.
As far as I can tell basically no one in the Samsung XDA sections actually makes Touchwiz good, they either don't fix the visuals or make them 10x worse.
Anyways, I don't think this is a...
