It just goes to show you how superb the S4 chip is and inconjunction with great programming the One S is up there with the best of them. That's what makes the One S a belter of a phone!
Consumers were duped into all the quad core hype and that Tegra 3 was the bees knees. However those in the know were always going to settle for the One S because of the superior chip and it's living well up to the hype!
Indeed!
Although in some ways agree with Robbo about the "in the know" part, however, I agree with you at the same time
People will either value the screen more like Robbo and others, where as others will value the hardware more, obviously if the screen was dreadful then it wouldn't even be worth considering the S, but the screen is great and better than the IPS on the X in some ways, which makes the 720P res not as tempting overall i.e. blacks and vibrant colours and more power efficient when you have darker colours, again obviously some aren't keen on AMOLED and much prefer IPS/LCD based screens though.
I've managed to weed out my music on the One S and I have 4.68 Gb free! Which should be enough to put a few more TV episodes on and a couple of films I should have 2Gb free which isn't bad.
Yeah, the storage really isn't a problem, you just need to take a little time every night or 2 or 3
to delete things and copy and paste what you want etc. only takes 5-10 minutes to do
Ahh bless her, no wonder she's weary of TC
That's why she stays clear of him, one fight too many
She doesn't like him at all
Every time you go near the bumps she just tenses up around there and sort of looks at you to say "don't touch me there it hurts"
This is the stupid thing though, what's more important to the vast majority of people, the chip, or the screen?
Most people will likely never even know the name of the chip in their phone, or worse still, that it even has one!
I don't like the implication that if you didn't get the One S you aren't "in the know", I certainly am in the know yet didn't get the One S because the screen isn't good enough. It's a step backwards from the Galaxy Nexus.
I don't think it's all that wise to use the CPU as a marketing thing, even if it is quad-core. Samsung have put a quad-core in the S3 and they don't mention it in any of the adverts I've seen on TV. They're catching on to what Apple do, but the advert still isn't great. The HTC advert is utterly dire as well.
Yeah I can see your point as well Robbo, for a lot of people the screen is very important, however, the screen on the S is great as well and despite it being a step backwards from the GN, GS 3, X etc. however, when ever a chip like the S4 brings more to the table than just a sharper and larger screen i.e. the battery life, the "coolness" of the chip, the performance (which is noticeable at the minute) then these factors in some ways make up for the lack of 720P res. and people who have moved from the X to the S have not missed the X screen at all due to the S4 chip much like Jabbs has said so far, he knew that the screen wasn't going to be as good, however, he has mentioned that the mobile is faster and video recording etc. seems smoother and from the rest that he has said, he seems to be enjoying the phone more than the X? Much like Stoosh and many other people who have moved from the X to the S have also said the same about not missing the X screen (although they originally moved due to the size) and are enjoying the mobile more due to speed etc. which is brought by the S4 chip.
At the end of the day it comes down to the screen (better overall for things like web browsing, films etc.) VS S4 (better overall for battery life, performance and "coolness" etc.).
If the S had been using the old gen chip i.e. S3 with a 720P screen from the start, I don't think I would have got the mobile, I would have still considered it, but I would either gone with the GN or the GS 2, most likely the GS 2 at the time (due to the better hardware etc.), however, if I had to choose now, the GN due to getting jellybean pretty soon and being stock android so not having to root and flash just to get rid of touchwiz etc.
And indeed another area where Samsung are copying apple and failing miserably with their marketing "designed for humans"................
, I think we should start calling Samsung "iSamsung"
16 days since my phone updated to 1.77 on TMob (1.78 for other networks
)
And no resets/reboots since then whatsoever. So, the One S is now officially the best phone I have ever owned, in the world, period.
Nice!
Same for me as well so far *touch wood*
That is why then. Just have to split the film file or whatever it is your copying over using some program.
Think this phone is faulty , every so often it goes mad and vibrates and the screens move about on there own, then after its finished the touch buttons at bottom don't work.
Damn, unlucky
I think I have read that someone else was having a similar issue to that.
