    Is this a product launch or variety show?

    Regardless of phones, OS etc, Apple's presentations are much better.

    I think its a pantomine....look the evil iphone's over there.....oh no he isn't......oh yes he is....etc

    Wish they gave more details on the camera instead of just MP.

    Did I miss something or have they forgotten to announce the CPU details.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,673 ✭✭✭s_carnage


    Awful presentation but that sound and shoot feature seems pretty cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭barry181091


    Oh my god, this presentation is going to take out even the cringiest of E3 presentations. This is so so bad.

    As is the eraser tool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Ok, tap dancing children aside, some of these features are pretty awesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭Firefox11


    lots of crappy camera features nobody will ever use.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭leemaree


    I think it's good. The show is showing us what the camera does and its features

    Ignoring this tacky and **** presentation, The Verge has a hands on test here.

    Drama shot and the ability to remove photo bombers are pretty class.

    Ah I could see the erasurer feature used quite a lot for holiday photos.

    It's better than apple's slideshow presentations. Acting at these sort of events is always cheesy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭leemaree


    I think the show is very good :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    This is a series feature list this phone is getting.

    Pretty cool show.
    What did ye expect.
    This is for normal consumers, not for yee geeks looking to crunch numbers!

    Normal consumers don't watch these things - only freaks like us


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    what are these

    Google it or watch the video, Its one of the features announced in the first 10 minutes.

    Basically Drama shot takes a load of shots and stiches them into one picture so you can track movement. My explanation doesnt do it justice but the demo at the Samsung gig looked really cool.

    The eraser tool basically works by the camera taking a number of shots and if there are any things that interupt the photo such as a bird flying in the background or some person walking by or a car, you can simply click the bit you want to remove and it removes it.

    Good show.

    Two pretty good looking guys presenting it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 508 ✭✭✭Issac


    What did I miss? Gather it was a chess-fest of a launch. Did the phone look good? Am I upgrading to this or a.n. other?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,106 ✭✭✭SpannerMonkey

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭Rodin

    like the ability to use while wearing gloves


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,161 ✭✭✭BetterCallSaul


    I think watching this has made me not want to buy an S4.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy

    Longer than it took the Pope to be announced once he was elected, but not as long as it took the judge to grant Oscar Pistorius bail....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭Alpha Dog 1


    Think this new galaxy has just pissed all over the other phones announced in the last 2 months already.


    Still will probably buy the next new nexus though!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,253 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    Pretty sure they hired the worst actors available.

    I'd much rather if they just got on with the phone without the annoying people.

    Bigger battery.
    13 MP camera.

    I'm sold.

    The rest is just filler.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,217 ✭✭✭Justin10


    I remember not being impressed with the S3 but this is impressive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    Please tell me we are not going to have to watch these people get fake-married :mad:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    its about time they started utilising the fact that you dont actually have to touch a screen to use it, or for it to detect it, and can add features for just being close to the screen etc, such as this preview mode.

    I found this annoying and cheesy at first, but I see what they are trying to do, make the presentation less business like and more entertaining whilst portaying real life situations for end users.

    All very American as well. Phone has some good features.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,106 ✭✭✭SpannerMonkey


    well theres smart scroll
    noice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭Rodin


    A phone that measures blood sugar?

    Rubbish


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,855 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Presentation is awful, turned it off as I couldn't watch it. Removable battery, SD card slot, 2600mh battery will be the main draws for a lot of people. A lot of the software stuff is stuff that people won't use that often in reality, and are probably available in other apps already anyhow.

    I'm disappointed (but far from surprised) that it looks almost exactly like an S3 or Note 2 though, I would have expected some movement on design, although obviously they want it to be recognisable as a Samsung. I think they will generally be sticking with that look for the foreseeable future though, the way Apple are fairly reluctant to change their design significantly.

    Seems like a pretty sweet phone anyhow and I'm sure it will blow the competition away in the benchmark tests, but I'll be interested to see how it compares with the HTC One, which I think is a nicer looking phone incidentally. I'll almost certainly be waiting for the next Nexus anyhow to change from my current phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭Rodin


    No altimeter?

    Crap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    no CPU details which probably means different specs for different markets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    Wow - anyone wathcing Cnet ?
    They are tearing into the show - the one female presenter is highly offended (can't really blame her honestly)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭leemaree


    I thought the show was good :)
