Lack of 32gb model a deal breaker?

Thanks Rivera - I will be interested to see how well that works - wonder if its just the app binary files or whether its all the links from the app. Take for example Google Music - say its approx 30MB (I have no idea how big it is) then moving this to the SD Card wont save alot but moving the music folder that it uses could move 5gb or even more. However will this music folder be moved with the app or purely the app itself, in which case this new feature is pointless.

Not sure if anyone else caught this comment - but the Google Music will use the Music folder on your SD card (once you add an SD car) so those 5gB of files don't have to be on the internal memory.

You just haven't tested enough games, even with a higher resolution the Galaxy S4 is still faster.

Compare 3dmark scores, it isn't even close.

Galaxy S3 - 2731
Galaxy S4 - 11744

The only way a game would perform the same is if was unoptimized and/or badly coded.

As for heat, ask Samsung and Qualcomm, I really don't care. I game allot on all my devices and they all get warm, the Galaxy S4 is no different and no worse.

That is my point about the heat, since it is no better or worse, so another non leverage point for the S4.

No doubt the chip set will handle games better when designed for the quad, but none of my current ones show improvement. Just as smooth, again probably due to the offset of less pixels for the GPU to push.

The device is not a real big leap (professional review consensus says that) from the S3, since the S3 was already a high bar. Probably more a prop to S model line than anything else. No, when the next model has the 800, the lower fab process in that chip should result in better battery and maybe less heat.

I still want one, but not unless a 32 model. If the radios were worse, then I would pass.

skramblr - How do you make google music use the sdcard - is there a setting somewhere?

You just don't want to listen do you. :rolleyes:

The majority of games all show clear improvement in responsiveness due to the increased framerate.

In terms of interface and external design it's not a big leap, in terms of raw performance the difference is huge.

Well, I would like to go into it further, but unless VZW offers a 32GB, I have nothing left to say, since you have one and I do not....... Verizon likes Nickleback.
