When Samsung released Note3 with 3GB everyone was like WOW Amazing..it's so powerful, when Z2 was released with 3GB everyone is saying 2GB is more that enough, it's not going to make a big difference. Kitkat doesn't require a lot of RAM. Still 3GB will always be superior to 2GB

      Anonymous, 07 May 2014H+ meaning 4G networkNope.

      4G = 4G.

      Here are the different symbols i see on my phones (i have currently 5 different android phones in 4 brands) :

      G(prs)
      E(dge)
      3G
      3G+
      H
      H+
      4G

      I think next one should be 4G+ (the higher speeds LTE), i ll know in a few months, they are experimenting it in a few cities.

      4G only appears with correct subscription, coverage and correct radio frequencies from carrier off course. A salesman did the test with my sim card and his because he had a doubt about his phone (an unlocked S4): he never has 4G logo with his sim neither the option in network menu, with mine, everything is fine both logo and option.

          Tcool, 07 May 2014What is the difference between air view and quick glance?Airview is when you let your finger over your screen without touching it and you get previews of different things : a zoom on a thumbnail, detailed SMS from list view, image preview on the video player seeking bar, etc...

          Quick glance is just hovering your hand over the phone/sensors, screen off, to display essential infos like time, missed events, number of messages for about 4 seconds with a nice fadings effects. Basically, it just replaces the need to push home/power to check if you didn't miss anything or even the time.

              Samsung Galaxy S5. Better sunlight legibility
              is the biggest contributor for the win, but details like
              more surface area, perfect contrast and colors, the
              sensitivity start to pile up quick.
              The HTC One (M8) certainly has a great display, let
              down in this head to head comparison mostly by its
              relatively higher reflectivity.
              display s5 takes it

                The HTC One (M8) is undeniably the better-looking
                phone (which might be void if you use a case) and the
                feel of real metal tops the feel of fake leather any
                day. The front-facing stereo speakers are also great,
                but the move to on-screen buttons didn't do much to
                reduce the height, though it does eat into usable
                screen space.
                The Galaxy S5 is more practical though with the IP67
                rating and user-accessible battery. It's more compact
                and lighter too. The faux leather is also much better
                than the glossy plastic of last year, even if it won't
                win over metal fans.
                it's a tie for me

                                  Tcool, 07 May 2014What? You call 8.1 mm thin phone bulky? M8 and Z2 are more bulky than S5.Well S4 is only 7.9 mm they add a little bulked to S5 due to the water resistant protection. You don't even see the difference. Unless you always carry a ruler with you. its not the end of the world people. ;-)
