First impressions. - Galaxy S 4 General

Ordered for my wife and it arrived today. (ATT). Black 16 GB. The feel of the phone is very nice in the hands. The weight is light. Looks stunning....
Will update later...
Update:
Mannnnn what can I say. This phone is freaking awesome. All that talk about "OMG ANOTHER PLASTIC DEVICE!" This thing feels really nice.
As for functions and system UI, its very smooth like touchwiz always is. Very boring and colorful but it does the job. A lot of features that I wont use but damn this phone is the real deal.
I guess I can qualify as a Samsung FANBOY LOL. I wanted to have faith in the HTC One but I after reading about the build issues I had to slowly step away...

lol it just said first impressions why would you expect a detailed review?
congrats on the new phone i'm glad you like it... i expect to feel the same way due to my own expectations lol

Yeah Samsung really hit a home run with this one. So far so good. The camera is great. Very snappy. Feels premium enough. The size is perfect!
I am a Note 2 user and am super jealous of my wife for having this phone lol
Edit #2: The phone was at 90% and is now at 77% 30 mins later lol. Constant use for that 30 mins though.
Not too impressed with that. Hopefully after a few cycles it will get better.

Thanks for that. This is first real life photos I believe in, as many others have been staged with tripods and bright lighting. It does give a real feel for the quality of the S4 camera.

some interesting benchmark...

Re processing power - Can you download droidfish chess app and set it for 4 or 8 cores (setting -> threads) and activate "Analysis mode" report the nps for some positions...Let's see its power!
In my note 2 in 4 cores i get ~700-800

I understand, however I always put my reviews for the community and if the mods decide to merge or close the thread there is not a problem. When a thread so big as the original one happens..then it gets clogged and some valuable info like a hands on demonstration gets lots easly.

congrats, they added your video to the cruzerlite website! lol
ps, anyone else notice in the image on cruzerlite website it has tpu material between the flash and the camera lense, but in the video review it just has one big opening?

Charging case!

I was watching a Testes video on YouTube and they were talking about a website called shapeways. I was interested and decided to see if anybody on there was making stuff for the Nexus 4, and they are! Check it out! http://www.shapeways.com/model/937654/nexus-4-5000mah-charger.html?li=productBox-search

this would be cool, but damn does that thing look ugly! looks cheaply made for $100.
5000mah is way too overkill for a extended battery case, that thing looks like a paving brick and probably weight as much. 1500 to 2500mah would be more than enough to keep size and price down.
Holy guacamole that's big.
Wow that is one big case. The ugly factor will keep me away from this thing.

Galaxy S4 Complete Video Review (Full HD)

Hey Guys,
This is my Video Review of the Galaxy S4.
Hope you find it useful
Leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Most excellent! Can you upload some of the full size photos to dropbox and share it here or in the photo thread? Also, pls share you opinion on how fast shutter response is, do you use night mod, sport mode for motions etc, anything camera related.
Good video, but the audio is painfully low. Maybe it should have been recorded with boomsound. Lol
I kid. I'm not trolling, just saw this on front page of xda app, and figured I'd watch it (though I am leaning more toward the One). Honestly good video, though. Good enough to make a die-hard HTC fan (myself) pause and think twice.

I quitted for 1 month.
I think it's hard to quit forever.
But when I really want to take a cigarette, I find some terrible pictures, focus on these picture, think very hard about it, then It works :laugh:
It's important that you should think very seriously when looking at these pictures.

How long did you smoke for? I find most smokers understand the risks and a picture wouldnt effect it much.

I smoke for 8 years.
I know most smokers already know the risk.
But at the very moment that they decide to take a cigarette, this understanding gone, they only think about satisfication.
So I bring this understanding return to them, by showing some very terrible picture can reduce that addiction at this moment.
I know it's not enough. But it can gain something INSTANTLY.
Howlong did you smoke johny? Would you quit?
Smoked about 3-4 years. Quit about 6 months ago and I feel fricken great. But I do use smokless tobacco. So I didnt really quit. I coild quit dip as the addiction isnt even close to cigs. But I enjoy it and ill do it for a little bit longer.

Is it getting heated like galaxy s4? as the processor is similar to s4..
Is it possible for us to shoot slow motion video( I mean the indian version of note 3)
Thanks for the video ... it was great..
Thanks for the video.
When you showed 'write on any screen', does the writing save with whatever app that was written on (so we can use it to highlight note on any app)?
or was it just saved separately unrelated to the app?
Thanks.

Can you check the speakers sound? Some claims it is not as good as it is in note 2...
