Samsung makes decent screens, but not great phones overall. I'm pretty sure what I've seen of the iPhone 6 is going to sell way better than the Note 4 and/or Galaxy S6 whatever that even is. Samsung is going to be in trouble long term as it doesn't seem they are very profitable. They need to slow down and focus on building a better phone. They are too quick to react to Apple's releases.
Got a tip for us?

Apple will go to quad core when they can no longer get increased performance out of fast dual cores. Perhaps the A8 will be quad core, but if it's dual, you can bet it will still be competitive with any quad cores on the market in actual use.
4k display? Ok, so 1) you won't be able to see an improvement, 2) it will be even harder to get a smooth UI (not like they're doing that well with that now), and 3) it will be impossible to run 3d games without severe pixel multiplying... Sounds like Samsung!
Screen resolution alone is meaningless. What matters is PPI. But PPI above 300 doesn't matter that much, too.
There are other areas for improvement. The Air screen must be the best screen used on a mobile device or close to it (the tab S is better on some areas, worse in others. The kindle hdx has a great screen, etc)

Clearly the guy is confusing 2k to 4k and has no idea of how the SoC works. A clear case of lack of knowledge, just like the typical Samsung buyer.
I guess you have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry to say that!
Maybe I didn't explain what I mean with backup/restore:
- Backup all settings, backgrounds, app data, files, network settings
- Backup everything on a phone
- Restore everything by one touch. The restored phone should be an exact copy of the backed up one..
Copying some files from an SD card is not the same.

HTC One M8/Sense says hi.
I say hi too. And?
Sense cannot do that! It can maybe restore the background and start installing the apps you had before. All other settings are gone.
App data are gone too.
I have tried that many times and I know what I am writing about.
If you were knowledgeable enough, you would know that Galaxy S5 uses a pentile matrix display, and in fact has a lower ppi than iPhone 5s, using red and blue pixels (305 ppi). Only using green pixels (432 ppi) is the s5 screen sharper than the 5s one.
Please provide proof saying that that CPU/GPU is more powerful than A7, let alone A8 in iPhone 6.
As far as Wifi is conserned... please
Pointless spec listing is just pure ****, and I am fairly surprised how so called advanced, hardcore, heavy android smartphone users know so little about those very specs
The new 8core is a beast.you will also need that faster WiFi for when you use a 4k TV and want to blast 4k video to it from your cell but I don't think the iPhone 6 records in 4k either so they don't need it yet.The galaxy s5 can record ultra HD 4k video and 5 minutes of recording is over 1.8GB of space and needs USB 3.0 to transfer that bandwidth without it getting chopy
That's also using heavy compression as uncompressed 4k video rgb at 24fps is about 466mb per second.
Let's say you have 20GB of music you want to sync over also. Would you rather use 150mb/sec or 500? Seriously why do some of you hate on anything better then what apple gives you?

Um no I said rumored to have a 4k display and I know the difference between 2k and 4k .
There were rumors of the note 4 getting the snapdragon 810 64bit along with a 4k screen.

Apple is indeed powerfull.. They havent spoken many words about an iwatch and since the idea of an iwatch emerged it has spawned an entire new product.
I wish apple would say just one word about a hoverboard in the works and they could just lay back and reverse tech when time comes.
Imagine people thinking about only what you are thinking and creating what they think you think.

Apple stated that the a7 was almost twice as fast as the a6 so how would the a8 stand in that test image?
We will find out soon enough but you can see it beating the crap out of the a7 but the a8 is staying dual core while the new exynos can use all 8 cores at the same time for max performance.how much more can they get staying dual core? There big jump in performance was going to the new 64 bit instruction set and there is no newer arch from arm yet for apple to use because they already jumped to 64 bit first before everyone else did.
A6 to a7 was a huge arch change but a7 to a8 will be same arch with maybe better GPU and faster clocks.

I bet Samsung is SO EXCITED to see all the new and innovative elements added to the latest iPhone - I mean, they can added to Galaxy!! "We LOVED the finger print thing last year"
Same with the iwatch. They can hardly wait!

More dynamic? Wtf are you talking about? That's so vague in the context of smartphones that it's meaningless.
It makes no sense to respond with "False" to a post with links to objective, accurate sources without any justification. I hate to accuse anyone of this, but considering how senseless your post was: are you being paid by Samsung? It's well-known that they pay people to disparage their competitors on internet forums, and pre-iPhone launch is probably when the budget for that type of stuff is at its peak.
Also, it's painfully clear that English isn't your first language. For instance, "does everything I need for me" should be "does everything I need it to." And for that matter, what exactly about the S5 being "more dynamic" makes "it" my problem? Trolling forums [successfully] most definitely isn't your strong suit.
This type of behavior is disgusting: http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/24/5023658/samsung-fined-340000-for-posting-negative-htc-reviews
Is this a bad joke? Considering that the A7 in the 5S is still quicker than the Snapdragon 801 in the GS5 (and the 801 is marginally faster than Exynos 5422 in CPU performance and massively faster in GPU performance), it's a near certainty that A8 will be quicker than the Exynos 5430, which is the 5422's 20nm successor with slightly better clocks.
Samsung, once again, is trying to appeal to the crowd that believes higher number = faster/better, and hopes they're too ignorant to actually learn anything more about the subject and see what the numbers actually mean. They did the same thing with the GS5 camera -- going for a high megapixel count and ruining it by failing to give it a great sensor to match.
If we want to discuss the Android competition to the upcoming iPhone 6, the HTC One M8 quite easily exceeds the performance, design, and software of the S5. LG has made massive strides and their last two flagship efforts, the G2 & G3, have also exceeded Samsung's S4 & S5, respectively. Between stronger competition on the Android high-end, and being undercut by Huawei & Lenovo on the low-end, Samsung's days of dominance within Android are numbered, let alone being a credible competitor to Apple's offerings.

I couldn't think of another way of describing it! Other than 'workable screen area' I suppose.
If the a6 and a7 is any indication, we gain more to be quiet about apple's SoC subject. That way we do not look stupid when they blow our minds, like they did the last 2 times.
Both processors used on the Galaxy S5 are inferior to the a7 used on the 5s on a huge number of metrics. Heck, the Exynos version is crap on any device, and Samsung usually supports the Qualcomm version way longer.
Lets hope the note 4 has a Qualcomm chip, but clearly Apple is the master of SoC designing here. Not that it matters, if they keep the 1 GB of RAM. Still, with so many AMD engineers signed in the last few years, we know a huge GPU push is imminent. We also now that having the LTE modem integrated on Apple's SoC (by by Qualcom) is also around the corner... Intel already did it.
I understand that, but the original iPhone resolution elongated for the iPhone 5 is 568x320, which at 3x would be 1704x960, not the random 2208 x 1242 (736 x 414) resolution quoted here.
Out of curiosity, do you know:
- That the A7 is soon to be 1 year old;
- Antutu is very very poorly optimized for iOS, and because of that it isn't even used on any review on any website;
- Most Apps (really, almost 100 %) only take advantage of 1 or 2 cores, and the A7 core per core destroys everything else;
- The iPhone is the fastest device on most CPU based benchmarks, even those that do not mirror real situations, and in all GPU benchmarks when the screen is on?
So the iPhone 5s is by far the fastest device being sold today.
Do you also know that speed only matters or certain apps and OS support (longevity), and the iPhone has all the best and most demanding apps and games, and is also by far the most supported device? I mean, the international version of the S3 (exynos quad core) didn't get kitkat!
So your all post is pointless, biased, wrong and a huge waste of time? Do you also know what a pentile display is? And that a full HD resolution is pointless ON A 4" screen? Do you know that the iPhone's screen is overall at least on par with the S5 overall and way better on most metrics? (white colors, brightness, accuracy, longevity, non-pentile PPI, etc.)?
Your posts are an waste of time. Inform yourself.
I'm not sure wtf you guys go off of what is enough and what isn't. Does it run everything you download? Yes? You have enough ram...
Interviewer asks Tim Cook: You said that 4 inch is the perfect size for a phone display to comfortably hold it in one hand, so why did you introduce a 4.7 inch screen on the new iPhone?
Tim Cook: Well, because of Apple's mind blowing engineering achievements you can now magically hold the 4.7 inch iPhone in one hand.
