Galaxy 4 review

Thought i would keep this short

First the good

+Excellent screen very good for watching movies my other half even commented looks better then watching stuff on her monitor on the pc
+Hardware performance is pretty good
+Excellent camera great quality and does good HD video
+Little touches like the finger hovering to preview and using the forward camera to see if you are looking at the screen so the screen does not switch off and it has loads of stuff like this .
+The look of the device is pretty cool
+Voice quality is good

Now the bad

-Battery life now don't get me wrong its not that bad (and certainly better then my old phone) but i think they could have put in a 3000 mh+ battery in like the note 2
-Performance is good for the most part but can get a stuttering
-Back cover a cheap plastic considering the amount you have to pay for it would have expected a bit more
-16gb of storage supposedly but can only access around 9gb of it
-Heat when using the phone for games and video it can get quite hot

So overall a good phone not worth upgrading a s3 for though but my old phone was only a galaxy ace so it was a massive step up

One thing that does puzzle me there are two version of it one with a quad core and the other with a octocore .Now from what i can gather its not really a octocore its more two quad cores one lot does the intensive work and when your just surfing the web then the second lot take other as its lower power>But surely a intelligent quad core would be better instead that perhaps turns off cores or reduces clock speed if needed ?

my take on windows 8

well to be honest windows 8 i like ...sure the tiles thing is not good for desktop but a few apps like the start 8 which has given me a start menu like windows 7 and now i really do not notice a huge different i am really using it the same as windows 7 running the same games and applications.

Would like to try the tiles with a tablet but dont have access to one yet one thing i will say about the tiles is there is a lot of wasted screen space
