It doesn't in low light against the Nokia. And where is the test?? As for sensor it's the Sony sensor in the Samsung and the Iphone just Samsung has optimized the image processing better. That's why I'm hoping Sony does bring it's BIONZ processing for images to it's phones like it's said will happen

Did some speed tests on my GS4 just now, I'd consider this peak time as many are at home using the network, so it probably is strained but yielding some decent results:

It really surprises me that they say that the S4 camera is so good. I always thought the cameras in the Galaxy phones were of lesser importance than other features of the phones. Nice to see Samsung paying attention to other details this time around.

GSMArena battery test of the GS4 Octa has been finally published, and it now adds further confusion  I've watched and read a number of reviews comparing the I9500 and I9505, including the vids Bono posted in the previous page, many say the I9500 has better battery, some say the I9505 does, GSMArena say the I9505, the I9500 came 4hours short in their test:
Unless you are a heavy talker that is – long calls on a 3G network will drain the I9500 battery noticeably quicker. Other than that, the Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4 is still one of the best performers in terms of battery life.

Interesting.
I really thought Exynos would trounce S600 in the battery tests (not that S600 is bad on battery at all).
Seems that if you want power go for E5 and if you want battery go for S600.
Either way it looks like Samsung have deliberately made both almost identical (perhaps by throttling the E5) which imo is a smart move by Samsung. |

I can imagine Samsung haven't fully optimised the phones just yet. Early firmware is always limited even if it is faster than previous models. A 65 hour rating is still very good compared to many phones.

Had Samsung managed to get enough supply of the Exynos 5 Octa we'd probably have had the 1.8GHz clocked with LTE version as Korea globally and Samsung wouldn't have had to clock it down to keep it at Snapdragon level.
Anyway, either way, Samsung have once again built a fantastic smartphone, easily surpassing its competition with many hating this, you just have to read the beginning of this thread, the Z thread and Rumours thread for a small example and as Etaab has said, updates will further improve this great device.
Using my GS2, it amazes me how far Samsung can take an already great device to new heights 2years after its unveiling and with the incredible hardware and software the GS4 has it makes me wonder where the GS4 will be this time in 2014 and 2015, the fact that one can think that far about a non-Nexus Android is telling of how far ahead Samsung are.

True. Well, as with every Galaxy S variant Samsung will probably release an official battery pack with +3100mAh and more accommodating batt cover for the very heavy users.
So far, I'm very happy with batt life in my GS4, all I want now is a 64GB MicroSDXC card and I'll be completely sorted.
Ps. I hope Samsung bring the Multiview multitasking they implemented in the Galaxy Note10.1 where you can run multiple windows of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Web Browser and 3rd party optimized apps
Check this out courtesy of Hobbs who loaded a GNote10.1 ROM in his Note2:
I hope Hobbs doesn't mind me posting this
