The problem with white backgrounds is they'll drain the battery quicker than black backgrounds.

Of course.
Its just a shame Samsung didnt equip the proper Exynos chipset with LTE capabilities. I dont like compromising one feature for another.

IF I get the GS4 I will gladly go for the Exynos non-LTE variant. LTE coverage down here is limited while HSPA+ is everywhere, I've also not been a Snapdragon fan since I watched time and time again the Exynos chips manage to thrash Snapdragon SoCs whilest running at lower clocks, also, Samsungs based on Exynos tend to be better optimized and receive updates quicker.
Strange Samsung couldn't put a LTE antenna with the Exynos 5 Octa, as they did manage to do it in the Exynos 4 Quad later last year in the GS3 LTE and GNote2 LTE.

Someone was covering his eyes when the Sony 2h 2012 flagships were keeping up and even winning in some cases with half the number of cores. And when exynos was obliterated on phones by the s4 pro...

Just look at that! Sony's ugly Xperia looks like some kind of unfinished prototype, compared to S4...

Sorry, much like the rest of the smartphone industry I never really cared or paid much attention to the H2 flagship, doesn't really matter though, the US version of the GS3 had the very same S4 chip many months before. Amazing that the S4 simply kept up with the Exynos 4, reason being the S4 had Krait cores, no? These use similar architecture to the A15 chips meaning despite using less cores it SHOULD be more powerful than an A9 Quad core like the Exynos 4 Quad, this means the S4 chip SHOULD have owned in every single way, after all it ran a much newer architecture with a smaller design, yet the older A9 chip managed to give it hell.
Pretty incredible, this is what makes Exynos so great.
And the Exynos 5 Dual in the Nexus 10 thrashed the S4 Pro end of last year, this despite having to push the highest Android display res to date

So it's my fault you don't care about the h2 of the year? The XT beat the s4 dual gs3 anyway.
And no, the s4 dual wasn't ever even marketed as such. Clock to clock, with everything else being kept equal, they were supposed to be 30% faster than a9. The only reason I remember this number of the top of my head was because I was wondering, like many others were at the time, how much better a15 vs krait was supposed to be, and I remember a15 was supposed to be 40% faster than a9 with everything else being kept equal.
I would have picked the s4 dual gs3 over the exynos (if someone had put a gun to a much loved family of friend's head and forced me to pick between them) because krait was supposed to be more efficient.
In other words, you're a self-declared fan-boy thanks to your references about not caring about h2 of the industry and believing exynos to be so great.
Don't even get me started development-wise...
https://plus.google.com/101093310520661581786/posts/aoAGK5yo13Y should refresh your memory. If you get time, read the saga. Developer hell. Shows how amazing exynos really is.
The Exynos 5 dual also thrashed the battery of the tablet. It was the gpu more than the cpu which was interesting and powerful. Hardly exynos power if most of the thanks goes to ARM Mali-T604.
The best chip of last year for a phone was the msm8960T, followed by the apq8064 or the msm8960. Power-wise, it was the exynos of 2011 coming out on top for that year. However, even you samsung fans that say there's no point for custom roms - I can't lose multi-window - would realise that in the s2 era, no such thing existed and most tech-savvy consumers were obliged to get a custom-rom, and were screwed over by the exynos. Last year, the exynos failed, pure and simple. And because of the 4+4 architecture and STILL the LACK of integrated LTE for mainstream Samsung (flagship) phones, the s600 is better. When the s800 comes out, I can't even describe how exynos will get obliterated...
On the tablet front, it's uncertain who will come out on top. The Exynos is not even in the running (to our current information). It's either the t4 or the s800.
Try again in 2014, Exynos.
