But microUSB is standard and supports the same wattage that even the iPad 4's charger delivers. It's now rated to deliver 1800-2000+mA safely which equates to 10 watts at 5v. I don't know of many who saw Lightning as a good move.. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

GPUs are absolutely the limiting factor. Exynos 4 was a tremendous letdown in this regard. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Except T-Mobile can't prevent you from rooting. T-Mobile can block all Nexus 4's from accessing its LTE at the account level, and it is in their best interest to do so expressly because the Nexus 4 does not have FCC approval to access LTE. Look at what happened to the T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Sent...

You can always get AOSP/AOKP working on a Galaxy handset as a daily driver. You can never get expanded storage, a quick battery swap or USA-legal LTE on a Nexus 4. I think the faults of the Galaxies are negotiable (even if with difficulty). The Nexus 4 would have been more manageable in a...

Strawman argument? Canada doesn't have a FCC and thus they're able to enjoy the Nexus 4's LTE without legal repercussions. You didn't actually refute him.. T-Mobile knows which phones are Nexus 4s and won't allow LTE at the account level until a version of the Nexus 4 clears the FCC with LTE...

I used to have a retina iPad (3rd gen) but sold it as well as my old Galaxy Nexus to end up with only the Note 2. Glad I did. I was basically using the iPad 3 as a video player for my commute and it's heinous that you still have to transcode files to play them. I ended up using AVPlayer HD but...

But the Exynos 4 is based on A9 architecture while the A6 is based on A15 architecture. ARM suggests that each new generation can confer a 50% improvement in performance, presumably on average. While the iPhone 5 has less memory, resource management is completely different in iOS (e.g. you can't...

I'm pretty sure the GPU in the iPhone 5 is better than even the Adreno 320 on average, and the CPU is competitive with the S4 Pro... Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

What about the Nexus One and Ice Cream Sandwich and the Nexus S and 4.2 though? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I used to consider Android:iOS like GameCube:PS2 when it comes to games. The former has a few very good games. The latter has many, many good games. The Android gaming environment is improving a bit since there's more growth, but it concerns me that developers are disheartened by the rampant...

Well by definition the larger 720p display will be less sharp than the smaller 720p display, but to an extent this is also affected by the DPI. For example with standard 20/20 vision the Note 2 would look just as sharp as the HOX at 5" away if you adjusted the DPI to be inversely proportional to...

Getting back on topic, I think 720p over 4.2-4.5" is great. I don't think I'd be that uncomfortable going back to my HTC HD2 actually (loved that phone) besides the slowness and low resolution. Form factor was wonderful. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Depends. There was an operating system called Symbian when the first iPhone came out and everyone was busy coding for the former and laughing at the latter. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Note 2 screen isn't pentile. It's exactly why I bought it over the S3. 5.5" is too much for me but I've gotten used to it. ~4.8" is my personal sweet spot. Loved the Nexus 4 for one handed use. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
