Support NeoGAF

[Bboy AJ]

And yeah, I'm in for a PS4 at launch. Android GAF good to be reppin' for the Quadruple at launch!

It looks like it's just me and you. We are the only futuristic motherfuckers here.

 

[Vanillalite]

I'm just over feeling like I'm getting burnt getting a launch console.

 

[BoboBrazil]

LTE is about two to four times faster than HSPA between my haunts of Chicago, Ann Arbor and Atlanta.

You seem to be pretty lucky then. I know LTE is supposed to be much faster, but speeds are not that far off here as of right now. That could always change in the future. GS4 can probably last you until the GS6 comes out, but I feel like if I buy a Nexus I'm going to want a new phone by the end of the year again.

It looks like it's just me and you. We are the only futuristic motherfuckers here.

Got my launch preorder in. Ordered about 20 seconds after the conference ended. Been ready for next gen for years. Hope they go back to 5 year cycles.

 

[Bboy AJ]

I'm just over feeling like I'm getting burnt getting a launch console.

It did suck this past gen but I'm not a fan of waiting. It's not that terrible for me. I might save $50 but it'll be months of waiting. Honestly, though, this past gen is the only one where I bought a console more than once. And I have a big enough backlog to remedy the inevitable launch drought.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

you mean Otterbox style?

I guess?

 

[DrFunk]

It looks like it's just me and you. We are the only futuristic motherfuckers here.

Not so, I preordered both.

 

[Groof]

It looks like it's just me and you. We are the only futuristic motherfuckers here.

I would've but I'm poor as shit atm

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Shit yeah. I've always wanted to be a futuristic motherfucker!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Okay Samsung, what the fuck. Your stupid Jay Z Magna Carta app says it's not compatible with my Verizon Samsung SCH-i605, better known as the Verizon Galaxy Note II. Fix your shit, you idiots. My phone is supposed to qualify for the free album.

Fuck, I got Samsung'd.

 

[Groof]

Isn't that more like verizon'd?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Verizon didn't make the app and forget to include their own phone on the compatibility list before submitting to Google Play. Samsung did.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Traded in a stack of PS3 games, got bonus trade in credit as well as another boost from being an EB member, so put down A$155 towards a PS4. Just $400 to go! Really hope I won't regret jumping in early...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Wow, Samsung are nothing if not fast. I'm guessing my email and several hundred thousand other emails all poured into the Samsung support address for this app complaining it wasn't compatible with the Verizon Note II. It's already been fixed and I downloaded and installed it and registered for my free album!

Spoiler

I don't even recall ever hearing any Jay-Z tracks except Big Pimpin' back in the day, nor do I know anything about him or his previous albums. Hooray for free album though.

 

[DrFunk]

 

[The Faceless Master]

so is this Magna Carta Holy Grail app the best looking Samsung app?

sounds good if they're trying to keep it the same size and minimize the bezel.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Beast mode engaged by Sony...

 

[Groof]

Is he writing directly on the screen with a fucking pencil?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Is he writing directly on the screen with a fucking pencil?

Yes. Yes he is.

Pressure sensitive input using basically anything with a point. :O

It's better than Wacom apparently. :O

 

[Groof]

Yes. Yes he is.

Pressure sensitive input using basically anything with a point. :O

It's better than Wacom apparently. :O

what the fuck. That can't be good for the screen, can it? Unless they got some real strong ass glass on there.

 

[Talon]

what the fuck. That can't be good for the screen, can it? Unless they got some real strong ass glass on there.

There's a post-it note over the screen, boss.

 

[DrFunk]

Seems to be the ZU, S4, and ZL

damn it's huge

 

[Groof]

There's a post-it note over the screen, boss.

Oh yeahhhh, looked like an app when I saw the pic on my phone. What about the adhesive then?

oh shit this thing's Galaxy Mega types of beast

 

[SimleuqiR]

Seems to be the ZU, S4, and ZL

damn it's huge

Death by Zu zu?

 

[DrFunk]

Looks like the dam is cracking:

 

[malyce]

what the fuck. That can't be good for the screen, can it? Unless they got some real strong ass glass on there.

The glass is made from gorilla sand. Objects with a point ain't got shit on it.

 

[Talon]

Gorilla glass is pretty sturdy, but it can totally be scratched by small grains - e.g. sand. I'd be nervous about using a graphite point near my phone, more nervous than using a pen on it.

that's the GN2 in the middle, not the GS4

 

[DrFunk]

that's the GN2 in the middle, not the GS4

I guess

 

[Arkanius]

The middle one is the Galaxy Note 2?
ZU is not a phone anymore, it's a tablet.
That is BIG

 

[DrFunk]

still looks like a gs4 to me but I can't be bothered

 

[The Faceless Master]

Samsung gonna Samsung part... i dunno...

Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
The littlest of the Tab 3 line, the 7.0 sports a 7-inch LCD with 1,024 x 600 resolution. The chip inside is a Marvell dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. There's only 8GB of storage, but you can augment that with a microSD card. Although it's the lightest of the three at 10.6 ounces, its 0.39 inch thickness is actually thicker than the Tab 8.0. It runs Android 4.1 and costs $199.


Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
With its 8-inch screen and ultra-thin (0.29 inch) casing, the Tab 8.0 is clearly targeting the iPad mini. At least this model runs Android 4.2, backed by a Samsung 1.5GHz dual-core Exynos processor with 1.5GB of RAM. Screen resolution is 1,280 x 800, and there's 16GB of built in storage, plus a microSD slot. Price is $299.


Galaxy Tab 3 10.1
The daddy of the line, the Tab 10.1 is notable for being the first mainstream Android tablet to pack an Intel processor, an 1.6GHz dual-core Atom chip with 1GB of RAM. It runs Android 4.2 and has 16GB of storage, plus a microSD slot. The 10.1 is also thinner than the 7.0 — just 0.31 inch — and weighs 1.1 pounds. Like the Tab8.0, the screen resolution is 1,280 x 800, and it costs $399.

i'm an expert.

looks nothing like a GS4.

Well to be fair in the picture it has a cover on it which will add around 2-3mm to the height and width.

 

[The Faceless Master]

pix!

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Why are samsung phones the ugliest. Fuck.

Well get an xbox one release date before we get a verizon htc one release date.

you'll get a release date five days or less before it drops and you will like it. VERIZON.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

If that's a Note in the middle, holy crap.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Haha, you fell for Gorilla Glass marketing did ya?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Haha, you fell for Gorilla Glass marketing did ya?

It's all about Dragontrail Mossy!

 

[The Faceless Master]

If that's a Note in the middle, holy crap.

if?

it's a Note 2.

there is no if.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

It's all about Dragontrail Mossy!

That's on the Xperia Z right?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

That's on the Xperia Z right?

No idea. I think it's on the GS4 Active though.

 

[The Faceless Master]

No idea. I think it's on the GS4 Active though.

isn't the front Dragontail and back Gorilla on the Z?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

isn't the front Dragontail and back Gorilla on the Z?

I'm not sure it was ever confirmed. I don't think its Dragontrail though, it wouldn't need the shatter proof sheet if it was since Dragontrail is more shock resistant than Gorrila.

 

[malyce]

I said gorilla sand, not glass, there's a difference.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I said gorilla sand, not glass, there's a difference.

Yeah, heat, but points sure do have something on it.

 

[newdayrocks]

Until it burns in!

Exactly. My Galaxy Nexus has the Beautiful Widgets clock burnt into the top third of my screen. It's awful.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Just dropped my HTC One from about 4 feet onto hard tile, screen down.

No damage. I almost sharted.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Xperia Z becomes the second major device to get 4.2.2 after GS4.

What the fuck happened Sony? I was expecting it in October months after 4.3 had been revealed and we were all gearing up for 5.0, troubling times.

 

[Groof]

Speaking of, where the fuck is my 4.3??!

 

[SimleuqiR]

Speaking of, where the fuck is my 4.3??!

In your pants...????

Sorry...too easy.
