even if i was on AT&T or T-Mobile and they didn't have LTE and Samsung didn't exist, i would get an HTC One over a Nexus 4.

I can easily afford to buy a nexus 4 right now but chose not to because I want LTE and better battery life is an absolute must for me.
Nexus 5 should be better in those regards if google keeps their word so I'll likely be down for that. Nexus 4 is solid but it didn't fit my needs, despite stock android and quick updates. There are some things I'm willing to concede on a phone, since it's obvious nobody is perfect, but for me battery is not one of them considering my heavy commute.

where i stopped reading that garbage clickbait and closed the tab:
yeah, because waiting months for a jailbreak is so convenient!

They both should be capitalized.
If there is a battery upgrade for the N4 I'll be royally pissed as I finally have one that works (fingers crossed).

lol funny rumour, not sure what to make of it. Galaxy S4 Google Edition with stock android incoming? If true, best Nexus ever?
http://www.tmonews.com/2013/05/sams...google-edition-galaxy-s-4-with-stock-android/
Normally I wouldn't believe it but just because it's T-Mobile I'll consider it possible. Especially since they're trying to look like the carrier that isn't like the rest. The one that would allow such a thing.

Googles gunna hit 900 tomorrow?
I thought Samsung was done with making 'stock' devices. And what about the LTE Nexus 4? and the Rumors of a LG Nexus 5? and the X-MEN PHONE?
Rumor seems weak, tbh
Tech stocks tend to down during conferences when fantasy inevitably meets reality. Though they have gone up in rare occasions before.
This is the least believable news I've read today

Obviously the rumour is 99% bullshit, I'm just saying that it's not 100% bullshit to me only because it seems like something Tmobile might push for.
That AMOLED display automatically makes it the worst phone out. God the color saturation and black smearing are awful.
The only thing that makes me think this is a real possibility is that Sundar Pichair was carrying an S4.
That's less the AMOLED and more Samsung making everything super saturated so it'll stand out in a show room. You can change it to more accurate colour settings.
And people thought I was full of shit.... Hhahahahahah

S4 gets ~30 FPS average on the new "Ultra-High Quality" setting the Epic Citadel update added. Not too bad.
Jesus fuck you're worse than Tabris in the NHL thread.

that's just phase one.
phase two is them adding Holo-skinned TouchWiz features to CyanogenMod and shipping it on the Galaxy S5
that's why Steve Kondik left Samsung, to start the groundwork full time for CM11.

Movie mode still has strange blues and reds. Still looks significantly worse than a native sRGB display.
I forgot about that option. What setting do you guys use? I just left mine on standard >_>'

If you read the DisplayMate article and not the GSMArena summary, movie modes' gamut is still too large. Which is really the problem in the first place. Movie mode mostly restricts greens and does little about the reds and blues so you get more purplish reds and blues.
It's more accurate in that the whites are really close to 6500k. But that was never a problem with OLED displays.

See above? The greens are weird.

More accurate is funny because its still really inaccurate so you might as well go for over saturation so you've get something worthwhile from the OLED tech besides good blacks.
Again the problem had always been the gamut. He gamut is still way too large even in movie mode.
Heck, are Android apps even colour aware to take advantage of the professional adobe rgb mode?
