LG trolls Samsung's Times Square billboards with Optimus G '4' ads

 

 

The press is headed to Radio City Music Hall for Samsung's Galaxy S IV event in a few hours, but the company has also taken up consumer-focused presence in Times Square -- where rival LG is waiting. As shown in the pic, LG has refashioned its billboards to mock Samsung's "4" themed advertising, touting that the Optimus G is "here 4 you now", among other messages. They'd probably have a better chance of grabbing our attention if the upgraded Optimus G Pro were here 4 us instead, but that's not an option yet. Still, we have to appreciate a prank pulled off well enough that it even scores some screen time in a Samsung promo video (at :49 and 2:04) embedded after the break.

In my opinion the S4 will offer not much improvement over the S3.

My 32GB micro  SD card was having problems with my S3, a search on google showed me these two don't like eachother.

Emailed Sandisk and they said it's a known issue and their new batch will work, and they'll send a new one out free of charge.

Good Customer Service goes a long way.

 

 

Just an fyi if anyone here has the same issue.

British phone fans eagerly awaiting Samsung's eight-core Galaxy S4 will be disappointed after it emerged the UK version will ship with a downgraded processor.

The latest version of the South Korean company's flagship smartphone will arrive on these shores with a only quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU, the Samsung has admitted.

Other markets will benefit from an 1.6GHz Exynos 5 octa-core processor, which is the thought to be the most powerful chip yet squeezed into a mobile phone.

 

Samsung had previously said the S4's chip would vary between markets, but it was understood the UK would be one of those where the eight-core processor would be available.

A Samsung spokesman told Trusted Reviews: 'Samsung Galaxy S 4 is equipped with a 1.9GHz Quad-core AP or a 1.6GHz Octa-core AP. The selection of AP varies by markets.'

The spokesman added that 'in the UK the Galaxy S4 will be available as a 4G device with a 1.9GHz Quad Core Processor.'

It is as yet unclear why Samsung has chosen to downgrade the processor for British consumers, although 3G speculated that it could be because the Exynos 5 is incompatible with 4G networks.

Other markets where the S4 is expected to ship with the Qualcomm chip include the U.S., Canada and Sweden.

Took the SD Card out yesterday, battery life is so much better, almost 30% was taken from the SD Card mounting and then unmounting itself all day.
