Is the sex appeal of the Galaxy S4 enough to get you to re-contract to your carrier? Let us know in the comments below.
Thanks to share this informational content here!! I am also a vodafone user so this content is appropriate for me.
Why does people still stick with vodafone? how good is their 4G network? vodafone network might have improved, however I m still not convinced whether they have caught up to Telstra n Optus, so question why why why vodafone?
Depending on where you live, Vodafone network is good in most areas
understand what you are saying, however for an extra $1-2 (mthly plan), you could go with optus/virgin, which supposedly to be better. most people that are still with voda, is either they are locked in a contract or they are just clueless about different carrier out there? im trying to get out of contract, but i still have 2 months left, im contemplating to whether i should pay the 2 months remaining and move to optus or voda 4g will be as good as what they promised…
Garbage plans for garbage phone. Snapdragon600 is FAIL compared to the Exynos 8 core. Samsung what were you thinking? Marketing department should be hung
…and then you have the opinion of people like me who would rather the Snapdragon chip set. Exynos is not my taste. I’m an AOSP ROM kind of guy. Exynos doesnt offer much developer support. Actually sold my S III because it had a Exynos chip in it. Using my Snapdragon Nexus 4 now. Wouldn’t go back to anything but a Nexus!
Snapdragon is rubbish compared to Exynos, and dont go spreading that ‘easy modding’ BS –> http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/04/19/samsung-begins-dropping-galaxy-s4-kernel-source-gt-i9500-gt-i9505-and-sgh-i337m-virgin-mobile-canada/
Research something for a change before supporting a company who just screwed over the majority of the world and kept the good model for themselves. If not for Japans MASSIVE handout after the war Korea wouldnt even have a tech industry.
Also, the Octa core is just marketing doing magic anyway. It’s really a quad core times two. 4 high performance cores and 4 battery saving cores. You’ve been sucked in.
But the Exynos has higher benchmark right? That, at least, or says something.
