What's so..what's so special.. That's blasphemy! Are you kidding me?? You need to go back and take a careful look! My brain nearly went back to factory settings while I was checking her out and I mean that in the best way

Rilwayn001:
And what do you have for samson the suicide terrorist prophet of the buybull??

Jdg 16:28 Then Samson prayed to the LORD, "O Sovereign LORD, remember me. O God, please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes." Jdg 16:30 Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.

This made me laugh so hard

GREATAWOG: you can read about this phone on http://www.bephone.com/ .That is android phone for you, it needs to be on the network always in order to enjoy its effectiveness and this may make to consume more power. For instance if one is browsing with a laptop without connecting it to power,it will consume more power than using it locally. With Data plan subscription you can pick your either intra or yahoo emails set up on it at a go. Your email's attachment such as PDF,doc,excel,PPT can be read/viewed while one needs to purchase full version of 'document to go 3.0' from google play store in order to edit the attachment.This phone and techno D5 i think they have the same application. Most asha series of Nokia phones are manufactured from china while infinix phones are from France. stop condemning this phone.

This is b.social not b.social2...b.social2 has a 4" screen...this one is smaller

SAD BREAKING NEWS:- 2 Students Killed In Federal University Of Agriculture, Abeokuta. It’s a sad day around the environs of the Federal University Of Agriculture, Abeokuta. Two students were reportedly killed as a driver of a black pathfinder swerved off the newly refurbished university road and killed the students on the pathway. The driver was competing for ‘right to the road’ with an Okada and left the road to hit the students. Both students are said to be in 100Level. The driver of the car is currently at large. Students are gathering en- masse to protest the incident. The car involved, pictured above was burnt by protesting students. It should be reported that another death occurred on the same road yesterday. May their soul RIP… http://gistreel.com/2013/03/15/sad-breaking-news-2-students-killed-in-federal-university-of-agriculture-abeokuta/

First it was Apple, then LG, and
now we have HTC also trolling
Samsung's Galaxy S 4 launch in
New York. Before the doors
opened at Radio City Music Hall,
the Taiwanese company kindly
gave out hot cocoa and snacks
while showing off the One to
folks lined up in the cold outside.
This was followed by HTC's
complementary entertainment
during Samsung's event with a
series of surprisingly relentless
tweets -- one of which even bore
the hash tag "#theNextBigFlop"
to mock Samsung's "The Next Big
Thing" slogan. Ouch.
To wrap up the day, HTC's fresh
CMO Ben Ho got in touch to say
that the again-plastic Galaxy S 4
is just "more of the same," and
that his company's "all-aluminum
unibody HTC One" with "original
cutting-edge technology, mouth-
watering design and a premium
feel" is really what people are
after. Here's his full statement:
"With a continuation of a
plastic body, and a larger
screen being the most
obvious physical change,
Samsung's new Galaxy pales
in comparison to the all-
aluminum unibody HTC One.
"This is more of the same.
HTC remains the best option
for those people looking for
the best technology
wrapped in premium design.
Our customers want
something different from
the mainstream, who appear
to be the target for the
Galaxy.
"Our customers want
original cutting-edge
technology, mouth-watering
design and a premium feel
from their mobiles, which is
why we created the HTC
One."
Looks like "quietly brilliant" is no
more for HTC then? www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/htc-cmo-ben-ho-galaxy-s-4/

Samsung is revealing what Smart
software additions the Galaxy S 4
will bring to the table, and
they're well beyond what's been
rumored. The camera is one of
the biggest focuses, borrowing
much from the Galaxy Camera:
Cinema Photo captures still
images with moving
backgrounds, a Drama Shot burst
mode that creates animated GIFs,
an Eraser mode to remove
unwanted background subjects,
and a Sound & Shot mode that
puts audio in the background of
still images. A Story Album
automatically creates photo
albums based on common details
such as location and time. And
did we mention that it can shoot
photos and video from both the
front and back cameras at the
same time?
That's just the start. AirView now
works with your finger, rather
than a pen, and is effective right
from the lock screen. Adapt
Display and Adapt Sound
automatically tune the picture
and speakers for varying viewing
conditions, and WatchOn uses a
built-in IR blaster to tune your TV.
S Translate, meanwhile, will take
both spoken and written words
and translate them through
several languages, inside of
multiple apps. S Voice has been
upgraded to S Voice Drive to let
drivers get navigation, find
points of interest and otherwise
interact with the phone without
having to take any hands off the
wheel. S Health, which Samsung
initially mentioned last year, is
around to track calories and
steps through accessories such
as S band, a body scale and a
heart rate monitor.
Like to do things that involve
more than one person? There's
more still. ChatOn has been
upgraded to support video chat,
and Group Play both allows for
sharing songs in a surround
mode or playing local multiplayer
games -- when it's supported,
that is. All told, there's a small
deluge of new features that
could amount to a lot, even
excluding new hands-free
elements like Smart Scroll. Check out more here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-unveils-the-galaxy-s-4s-software-tricks/

The Galaxy S4

check out my thread on all the hottest phones compared www.nairaland.com/1226077/samsung-galaxy-s4-vs-sony

All the hottest handsets
compared
So, it's finally here. Momentum
has been building for the
Samsung Galaxy S4 almost since
the week after the Galaxy S3
arrived last summer!
It's been one of the most
anticipated handsets in a while -
that explained by the world's
obsession with seeing every leak
possible. And they came thick
and fast, thanks to our friends in
China, as the hours counted
down to launch.
The Galaxy S4 arrives at a time
when the competition has
moved up a notch. Here's how
Samsung's latest flagship chalks
up against the other big boys in
school.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: size and
weight
Big is beautiful. That's the
message we've been getting
over the last few years as
smartphone manufacturers
seem to try to outdo each other
on the scales. The Galaxy S2 had
a decent enough footprint, the
S3 was even bigger.
The S4 continues that tradition,
coming in at 5.38 x 2.34 x
0.5/16-inches which makes it
exactly the same, height wise,
but fairly thinner by width, as its
predecessor. It's also a whole
three grams lighter at 130g.
And it's in good company. Let's
not forger the Sony Xperia Z is
fairy big in the mitts at 5.47 x
2.80 x 0.31 in and weighing in
at 146g, making it fairly similar
and only marginally heavier than
the HTC One which is delivered
at 5.41 x 2.69 x 0.37 in.
That's not a million miles off the
Nokia Lumia 920 which clocks in
at 5.13 x 2.79 x 0.42 in, though
the Lumia is heavy enough to
give you cramp at 185g.
In fact, the only one that is out
of its depth here is Apple's
offering which provides the real
alternative to anyone who wants
a smaller, yet premium device.
The iPhone 5 is minuscule by
comparison at 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30
in and with a weight of 112g.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: screens
One of the most contentious
issues when a smartphone is
announced these days. Since
Apple spoiled many of us with
its Retina offering, we've all
become more nitpicky than ever,
because we know what can be
achieved. The Galaxy S2 gave us
Super AMOLED Plus and although
it didn't have a resolution you'd
kill yourself for, the colours really
were beautiful.
The S3 was, in some eyes, not
the step forward that had been
hoped for because Samsung
opted for just Super AMOLED 4.8-
inch panel with a density that
could be marginally picked apart
by a very trained eye. It also
employed a Pen Tile Matrix here.
The S4 goes for a slightly larger
5-inch display (still Super
AMOLED) of 4.99-inches with full
HD 1920 x 1920 and a far higher
pixel density of 441ppi. It's,
again, a pen-tile matrix with very
high pixel density.The gap
between pixels has been
reduced so we're expecting
something that looks far
punchier in the real world.
Competition is fierce - the
iPhone 5 goes for an LED-backlit
IPS LCD flavour. It's only 4.0-
inches which is great for some,
yet too small for others and
giving off 326 ppi.
Similarly, the Nokia Lumia 920
has a pretty great display with a
slightly higher ppi of 332 but
that's split over a larger 4.5-inch
display. It too is an IPS LCD
flavour. The Sony Xperia Z holds
its own - this has an amazing
display which is TFT and an
amazing 441ppi spread over five
inches, but as we explained in
our review, it can appear
washed out from different
angles.
The one to beat here is the HTC
One display panel - we're big
fans of that Super LCD3 offering
with its 4.7-inch screen and 469
ppi, though, as our review
explained, we're not massively
sold on it when watching video.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: camera
The S3 was one of the best
mobile cameras out there - and
the S4 goes one further with a
13MP offering. Plus a 2MP front
facing snapper, which is pretty
run of the mill nowadays.
This is one of the main aspects
people go for when purchasing
a new handset, so a very
important consideration.
Apple reckons its 8MP offering is
the best camera it has ever
offered, but this at a time when
the numbers are creeping into
the double digits, much to the
humiliation of the Lumia 920
which also offers an 8MP
snapper. For example, the Xperia
Z is in 13.MP territory as well.
But size isn't everything - as we
noted that pictures didn't always
look great once shot. Compare
that to the paltry sounding 4MP
of the HTC One, but a camera
that has the Ultrapixel
technology, and you see that the
number of pixels has barely any
relevance compared to other
aspects.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: processor
and memory
Of course, none of this makes
any difference in the slightest if
there is not enough 'oooft'
inside to power it all. The S3 was
super smooth - although we did
notice it go a bit sluggish at
times, before the arrival of
Project Butter.
As for the S4, forget dual-core.
Forget quad core. We have a
staggering EIGHT CORE Exynos
1.6GHz processor here. That's
bigger than the quad-core
1.6GHz Exynos offering of the
Galaxy Note 8 but is obviously of
the same DNA!
2GB of ram completes the set,
which is the going rate right
now. That's double the 1GB RAM
you'll find in the iPhone 5 and a
real boost to the Dual-Core
1.2GHz processor it holds, but as
any Apple fan will gleefully tell
you, they rarely experience lag,
which goes to show that the OS
has just as much responsibility
for smoothness.
The S4's specs really blow away
what we've seen in the rest of
the competition - at least on
paper. Sony offers us a Quad-
Core 1.5GHz Krait chip and a
comparable 2GB RAM which is
double that of the Nokia Lumia
920's 1GB, while the Krait
processor the Finns give us is
dual-core, like the iPhone.
In fact, the highest level after the
S4 is the recently announced
(and reviewed by us) HTC One
which is quad-core 1.7 Krait and,
again, has 2GB of RAM.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: battery
size
We've long passed the days
when batteries would last all
week and now, one day is the
most you'll get from a modern
smartphone. The problem is
when that phone doesn't last
even a full day, with tame use.
The S4 packs a fairly huge
2,600MAH pack, up from the
2,100 offering we got on the S3.
It makes the iPhone 5's
1400MAH battery look paltry,
though again, iPhone owners
will tell you that they have a
decent enough time which
again, highlights how much the
OS plays a part. Compare that to
our thoughts on the HTC One a
couple of days back when we
struggled to make that 2300MAH
battery last, and you'll see what
we mean.
As for the Lumia 920, that comes
with a 2000MAH pack which we
bemoaned in our review, whilst
the Xperia Z puts in a stellar
effort with the 2330MAH pack
powering it, thanks to stamina
mode. Similar to our point about
the camera, it's more than just
sheer numbers that you'll find
makes a difference here.
Galaxy S4 vs the rest: OS
Did you think Smart Stay was
gimmicky on the S3? Will you
care about the screen scrolling
to follow your eyes on the S4? If
you do, you're in for a treat
because despite some claims it
wouldn't appear on the final
build, it is now official that it will.
Whats more, Smart Pause will
know to hold things when you
look away. And Air Gestures
mean you'll be able to jump to
the top of lists, skip music and
flick through pictures/answer
calls without even touching the
screen.
The iPhone is obviously the only
Apple device - so has exclusive
access to the Cupertino stable of
goodies as far as this rabble is
concerned. Similarly, if you want
a Windows device, you won't
find any other offerings in this
comparison. But the other three
are all Android handsets and
have their own unique selling
points. Sony is bigging up how
the Xperia Z is both resistant to
dust and water, which is great if
you're an off-roader swimmer.
Meanwhile, HTC bangs on about
its Zoe photos being unique and
how the blink-feed home screen
will change the world. However,
its IR blaster on the newly
released HTC One (which we
have noted works well) has
been fitted on the S4 as well.
That unique selling point is no
longer unique.
Samsung's TouchWiz overlay,
meanwhile, always looks a bit
more colourful and less
conservative. Yet, it has, in the
past, also been a very solid
iteration of Android - which is
what these final three run on.
The question is - will it be the
first to ditch Jelly Bean for Key
Lime Pie? And will that make a
difference to you? If it does, the
S4 will be available April 26th.

Young po413: Im waiting too,I really need to see this mysterious galaxy S IV,even CNN are not helping matters.
Like play like play samsung don beat nokia,what a SHAME!!!

Just stay tuned bro and you won't miss a thing...

majekleo: Its alright *grabs kilishi nd fura* , let the waiting game begin.

lol...no sleep off o...

All the latest from the Galaxy SIV launch event. The countdown is on for the hotly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 launch in New York, where the Korean firm will take to the stage to uncover its latest flagship device. Rumours on the upcoming smartphone have been coming thick and fast and while we won't know for sure until Samsung announces the specs on stage, the Galaxy SIV looks set to rock a full HD screen, powerful eight-core processor and a chassis which resembles its predecessor, the Galaxy S3.
Will it beat the likes of HTC One and Sony Xperia Z?

It is not just phone enthusiasts who are anticipating tonight's launch. Samsung will be hoping that a warm reception for the Galaxy S4 will help propel its share price higher. The shares are up 25pc over the last 12 months.
Which smartphone is the one the Galaxy S4 has to beat?

UPDATE:
Samsung seems to have an
advantage when it comes to
emerging mobile markets. With
the smartphone market maturing
in the West, this is increasingly
where big profits are to be
made. A new study by Upstream
looked at the preferred mobile
brand among adults in Brazil,
India, NIgeria and Saudi Arabia
and found that Samsung was the
most desired brand (32 per
cent), ahead of Nokia (22 per
cent) and Apple (21 per cent). In
the US and UK, it's a different
story, with Apple leading on 32
per cent.
