[Specs Comparison] Samsung Galaxy S IV vs The Rest

[wicked]

We now have all of the Galaxy S4's specs and wanted to show you how it stacks up against some of the most powerful smartphones on the market today, including the iPhone 5, HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro and Sony Xperia Z.

So which phone do you think comes out on top?

[Tears for Fears]

The Wi-Fi in Galaxy S 4 is a/ac/b/g/n. And it supports Wireless charging. (not in every region preinstalled, but then you can still buy a custom one)

I'm just curious how well will Exynos stand against Apple A7.

Only one I'd buy if I couldn't get the S4 would be the Sony.

AC don't be too happy.
Lots of think to consider. As early genuine pig lots of tweak and testing you need to do...lol

You took the words right out of my mouth. As I was reading that I noticed there were at least two mistakes. Makes me wonder about some other possible errors. I'm thinking I probably also would go with Sony as it was pretty hyped at one point in time for having the best specs around. But I haven't heard much about it lately.

Well, I don't see any other errors other than the one that the iPhone 5 has no RAM. As for Xperia Z, it had the best specs before HTC came up with One. Xperia is running Snapdragon S4 Pro and it managed to outperform every other device that ran on S4 Pro, but HTC One runs on the newer Snapdragon 600, so Xperia can beat only the iPhone 5 out of these 4 devices. The screen is rather poor compared with the competition, it uses a TFT display. The camera isn't exactly what you'd expect from a 13.1 MP camera, but it isn't bad really. Other than that, it has no other flaws and it's, as you've probably heard, waterproof so you can take a shower with it.

From what I'm seeing on the specs side, what's sorely missing is the comparison of the features and functionality. So far, in my humble opinion, I think the S4 whips them all.

When I was upgrading from the S3, I almost went for the LG G2. Killer specs, but Verizon salesman said they were getting a lot of those phones returned because of call quality!

Right now, the LG G2 is the only phone around with superior specs but it appears it needs some serious tweaking!
