lets face it, people try to copy apple, some do it 100% and get taken to court and others try but just don't get it. Apple leads in terms of creativity and design. Google and Sammy need to go back to design 101 school.
Whoa, ok, let's take it down a notch. So, yeah, he was wrong, but it was an innocent mistake. He's at least demonstrating that he's putting some effort into putting together a cogent statement, so lay off him.
I'll be the first to admit that my math mistakes go up at 2 am. We all make mistakes. Cut him some slack

I don't think dpi is more important than job qualifications, just thinking of one instance you might want to use high quality. maybe wedding invitations is a better example.
Also, I was talking about laser printers, not ink jets. big difference in precision. tests show humans can tell the difference between 1200 and 2400 dpi at that distance, and I have seen good laser printing where i' like "damn, those letters have super smooth perfect curves", but haven't directly compared 600 to 1200 to 2400 dpi on laser printers specifically, but I can pretty much guarantee I could tell 600 from 1200 with no magnifying glass for certain text or graphics, and guessing maybe on 1200 to 2400. Again, displays use anti-aliasing, laser printers don't. if you can't see pixels or anti aliasing on your "retina" displays, you probably will be happy with 600 dpi laser printer.
Anti-aliasing makes blurry edges and is a pathetic way to make up for lack of resolution, and needs to die.
Not released until end of April..
A lot of things can happen between now and end of April, and one of them is Apple releasing the next iPhone which can be available immediately...now that is gonna be a bummer for Samsung..
Apple should do some event like preview of iOS 7 or something.
But judging how they haven't done anything in March yet...doubt any spring event. Earliest is WWDC in June and by then Google will already have its IO in May.
He have a pint.
There is a certain density of pixels (PPI) our human eye can distinguish! Now if am not going to be able to see the difference, then i think the effort is wasted. Including the battery life.
And yes, I need smartphones and internet. When you say "No one", talk for yourself.
Why? What are you doing on your mobile device that would noticeably improve from a quad core CPU? Online apps are still limited by the speed of your connection and there are no efficiently developed apps currently available that even use half the resources of current smartphone specs. Everything else is about RAM such as ridiculous numbers of tabs in Safari.
Got to agree. What is the point of 440ppi? Once you get above ~300 you've exceeded the resolution of human vision so there's nothing to gain, unless it gives a performance boost by the phone not having to down-scale HD video to fit a smaller pixel size screen?
Personally I think it's just willy-waving by Samsung - "look, our phones have more ppi than the iPhone!"
Actually, the height is sqrt((H^2)(d^2)/((W^2)+(H^2))), the width is W/H*height where W and H are the proportional width and hight of the screen (here 16 and 9) – or 4.36"x2.45".
1920/4.36"=440.37PPI, "which is the very thing that was asked for".
I'm guessing you've never used an Android based device then? I feel for you son.
disagree
i disagree.
battery life has much to be desired.
the ability to connect cross platform via a local wifi.
the ability to power and drive a large screen as a monitor. (8 cores?)
industry compliance... ie for photographers, the ability to push to 100% zoom instantly from a DSLR.
flexibilité, durability.
instant language translation verbal.
accuracy in voice recognition,
artificial intelligence,
in the camera front, the lenses could be better and a larger sensor would be welcome. with this sort of processor speed, we should be looking at amazing noise reduction at high iso... imagine shooting at 512k with clear images.
better sound etc.....
the list goes on my friend... there is always room for innovation. and when their is'nt, you can rest assured the men in white coats will pursue ideas we never thought we can live without... that we later find is unacceptable to live without.

Why do they keep making the screen bigger??? At this rate, it will be a 24 inch screen within a few years! The previous one was already far too big for what I'd like. How are they expecting to please a wide audience with a screen designed for older people, who can't read small text? What about those who prefer smaller phones? They should make a smaller version.
Anyway, the eye tracking looks interesting, and the hover gestures too, but I wonder how well it works in real life and whether you'll actually use it or not.

S3 and Note2 is better than iphone 5 and have some really innovative inventions.
And now the S4
Wonder if Apple will bring something really new next time ??

Too Big
Screen is way too big for a phone. Also, no device needs 441 ppi - overkill.

Little to no innovation.
The only feature from this phone to bring to the iPhone line up is the large OLED. and from some where else 128gigs and 11hour Batt. life.

And when apple introduce 4xx ppi ?
Screen got bigger yet the size of the phone/housing remains the same but wait its also thinner than the previous model
Hahahaha...
I saw video of features that performed poorly. People are failing over themselves stating that it's not final software. However, the phone will be released next month and software should already be in the final stages of DVT. But it still performs poorly?!?!?!? Damsung!
The Galaxy S4, the next handheld console to come ?
