Video review - Samsung Galaxy S4 - Galaxy S 4 General

Soon I'll post more detailed materials. I apologize for the images placed weird, I had some problems with the video editor... but the next videos about Galaxy S4 will be all right.
As a real life companion, the new Samsung GALAXY S4 helps bring us
closer and captures those fun moments when we are together.
Each feature was designed to simplify our daily lives.

What annoys me most about s3 is the 1-2 sec lag when you open the contact app. Do s4 have the same problem?

With pleasure

By the way Victoria, I have few queries regarding s4,glad you are here lol.
Which model do you have right now? Octa or snapdragon?
If you have a white s4 with you can you temme if the notification led and soft keys led are bleeding just like s3?
Scratch test would be nice and also can you tell us the average battery life?

My model is almost the same, only the build number is a little different on mine, it called: JSS15J.N9006ZCUBMJ3
On mine the pen / air command works fine - the shortcut menu appears.

Nice ^ And the remote feature does not work for me, everything else is perfect i think, just the remote control
Edit, After watching your test instead of Mayiandjays you tought me how to use the remote, thank you
I guess this is the Note 3 clone post (only one!?!) so I'll ask my questions here! My phone is similar, but I think we'll all have a hard time finding "real" specs as you will soon see...
Have any of the rest of you tried any benchmarking/info apps to find out your real CPU/GPU/RAM specs yet?
My phone came with a (locked) version of Antutu that I think was hacked to show better scores and info. I rooted the phone (with Framaroot) and deleted the old version, installed a new version from the Play Store, and installed CPU Identifier. Antutu still miss-read the specs, but CPU Identifier gave a more realistic picture. (but not perfect)
The original Device Info screen: imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below
Antutu's (still incorrect) device info screen: imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below
CPU Identifier gave me a more realistic view of the processor, but still incorrectly shows 3GB of RAM: imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below
Do any of you know an app that can show how much RAM this device actually has?
The processor seems to have confused Antutu and CPU Identifier as well since Antutu thinks its a quad-core Snapdragon, and CPU Identifier thinks its a dual-core MediaTek processor but says that the GPU is incorrect for the model it thinks it is.
I guess it will be a while before we know if any custom rom will work on these phones, but it would be nice to be able to use Xposed. I'm a little worried about trying it, but I'll probably get impatient soon and try it. It would be nice to at least know what rom is actually on it, as I think that info has been faked as well. I've tried to see if I can get any better info from the factory mode menu, (power + vol. down while booting), but it's all in Chinese: imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below. Does anyone know what it says or how to change it to English?
---------------------------------
Okay, now the good news:
-It's actually a good phone for the price! I payed the equivalent of around $110 for it last weekend.
-The screen is bright and responsive, similar to the videos in this thread.
-The back of the case is branded like Mayiandjay's.
-The S pen is similar to the other pens. It looks almost exactly like the Samsung, with a fake button on it. The S pen menu only appears when you take the pen out, and I don't think the menu can be moved around the screen.
-It had the same desktop layout as the videos, but I think I lost some of that (and apps?!?) when I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I lost the Samsung boot up screen, (now it's an Android ani), and I don't seem to have the remote control app.
-The air gesture worked well (a bit better than s7yler's), and smart screen paused movies when I looked away.
-Multi window didn't work, but there is an app dock tab on the left side of the screen.
-It seems to get good signal and 3g, but I don't know about 4g. (we don't have that here)
-It is USB 2 with the fake USB 3 ports like the others.
-The Play Store is in the Galaxy Plus Icon/menu
-The resolution isn't what Antutu reports (1080x1920!) but I think CPU Identfier's 540x960 is correct, or it might be a bit better.
-The camera is only 8 megapixels, but that's okay, I don't take many pictures.
-While I don't think the phone has 3GB of RAM, the closest I've found to what might be more accurate is through using Usemon. While monitoring the RAM, it seemed to show about 1.5GB, but that might have been faked too.
All in all, it seems to be a good phone. I think s7yler's and Mayiandjay/Christopher.J.M's are better if they are actually quad-core, but until I can find an app I can trust or until I can change the rom, I don't think any of us can say what the specs are with confidence. This phone seems better than the other clones I tried out, so I'm happy with it.
U only have a dualcore phone friend

Can one of you guys who got the device tell me if you have to pay extra taxes when it reaches the customs? Also how is the smoothness of the ROM and hows the battery life?

Paying tax/custom control all depends on how luckly you are! With some of my orders, DHL delivered without any extra, while with others DHL contacted me and wanted bank or paypal proof of the value. There is no bullet proof rule that you can use. It is random if they stop your package when it comes from China.
The ROM is smooth, and the battery life is really good! seems to be near real 3200mAh.

For instances im thinking about buying mayiandjay's version and paying for dhl shipping with the original box, since my countries tax is 23% over the original value does that mean if the customs catch it i will pay a quarter more? or do i just need to send them the payment proof?

My first watch face free in the App Store

Hi,
I've just got my first watchface designed in GWD pass through the verification process and is now live in the Samsung App store. It's FREE so would appreciate some feedback, I've only tested it on the S3 but should work on the S2 but without the AOD. The AOD on the S3 is pretty good though. The watch face is FREE please search for Black Steel Lite.... I actually done a more complex one which I will put up shortly...
I've attached some screen shots, the last 2 are the AOD on the S3 only..
Looks very nice - I prefer analog only watches, but you've done a nice job of integrating digital w/out killing the analog.

Yes it is possible but I would have to create a new version as it is not possible to change the units dynamically in GWD as far as I know....My variants with improved functionality are now available....I may create a new one with different units if there's enough demand....

Hi,
I could change the "miles" to "kilometer" myself if you could share the GWD-files with us.

I will download this one as soon as my watch comes in. I like the look of it.
Nice Watchface, good job! :good:
Code
Hi, I really like the Black Steel Lite watch face and it works on the new Galaxy watch. Out of interest was is the code you use to convert steps to miles and steps to floors?
Hi,
Thanks, I didn't use any code as I used the Samsung GWD to develop the watch face. within it there are items that you can select for, steps, floors, distance (Km miles) etc. If you like the lite version then try out the more advanced version which have some cool gauges for steps %, battery % etc. have a look at this YouTube video to see it in action:-

Snapchat videos from honor 8 not playing on recievers device?

So we currently have 4 honor 8's in the family. We can all see eachothers snapchat videos, but anyone with another type of phone can't. My wife, Galaxy S7 gets a frozen first frame or black screen, while audio plays fine. Same with other Samsung owners, I'm not sure whether it works on iPhones. Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips?
Are you sure the problem is not with Samsung and is of your phone's ? Because all my followers can see my snap chat videos and I can see theirs. Try to watch the video from some other phones rather than Samsung Galaxy
