Why? Samsung Galaxy S5 model with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and a 5.2″ QHD (1440×2560) screen is coming out soon. Should arrive before iPhone 6 like July time frame. You will have better Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. This is what Galaxy S5 should be. Not the current one, right?
Samsung was caught cheating on Samsung Galaxy S4 GPU benchmark? Well, I don’t care if its PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU (GT-I9500) can handle higher clock speed. As long as it does not overheat, I am fine since I get better 3D performance. Right? Wow… Galaxy S4 GPU really can run at higher clock speed than the default 480 MHz compare to previous generations. Galaxy S2 and S3 GPU can’t overclock much. Here are 3DMark benchmarks that I ran on Galaxy S4 – both Ice Storm normal and extreme mode. CPU stays on default setting while GPU overclocks at 700 MHz.
Samsung is good in retaining customers. Yes, you will get lot of goodies by using Samsung products like Samsung Galaxy Lifestyle Rewards for Galaxy Note 3. Samsung is giving free Samsung Video Hub Voucher to buy contents from Disney, Paramount and Screen Media as my birthday gift. And free Welcome Voucher for Box Office Hits. So I have 2 vouchers in total. Hmm… Which movie should I redeem?
Wow… My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 is the fastest. Rank no 4 in the global ranking of AnTuTu Benchmark. Hehe… I was just lucky back then. 36736 is the highest score on stock firmware. Usually getting around 35K only. Basically, AnTuTu Benchmark is overwhelmed by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 devices now. Yes, the no 1 is using Sony Xperia Z1. 2nd is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (China version). 3rd is XiaoMi 3 (I doubt it is NVIDIA Tegra 4 version). And mine at no 4 with Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005. 5th is LG Optimus S G2…
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes to papa. 25 September 2013 is the launch date for Galaxy Note 3 at most of the country including Malaysia. No news from Samsung Malaysia for any freebie like Singapore – Limited Edition Accessory Pack (worth $146) which consist of Desktop Dock and Extra Battery Kit. Hopefully, there are some here too. Anyway, there will be only one model for Malaysia this time unlike Galaxy S4 (have both 3G and LTE models). Yup, only LTE model SM-N9005 Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 this round (sorry Exynos 5420 fans, no SM-N9000). And priced at RM 2299 for 32GB LTE model. So prepare your money for it (or you want the same old look iPhone 5S?). Based on the user guide, there will be a new USB 3.0 cable along with the charger. Air View function is working without S Pen. And most of the features from Galaxy S4.
