As soon as the Boston Red Sox finished off the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series, announcer Joe Buck was already hailing the St. Louis Cardinals/Red Sox World Series as a rematch of the 2004 battle between the same teams. That resulted in a sweep in favor of the Red Sox. Maybe, if Albert Pujols was part of the Cardinals, I could see some of the logic because David Ortiz is still around from that Sox team. But, with Ortiz the only player from either team who played regularly from that Series, it doesn't seem appropriate to call it a true rematch (Yadier Molina only had three plate appearances in that World Series). But, Buck's comment did get me thinking. There have been several recent championship rematches where there were significant players from both sides still playing. Here's a look at them. The Atlanta Braves versus the New York Yankees in 1996, 1999 Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera were on the Yankees, while Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz made up baseball's best pitching rotation for the Braves. The Yankees won both. The Dallas Mavericks versus the Miami Heat in 2006, 2011 Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki and a role player or two saw each team come from behind to win a championship. The Boston Celtics versus the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008, 2010 The Celtics, led by Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce won the first matchup, while the Lakers took the second with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher leading the way. The Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Dallas Cowboys in 1976, 1979 Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw and a host of others, including Mean Joe Greene and Randy White participated in Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII. The Steelers won both games by four points. The New York Giants versus the New England Patriots in 2008, 2012 Tom Brady and Eli Manning went toe-to-toe in two classic Giant wins. For me and I think most sports fans, a real rematch is when teams face off in consecutive years. There haven't been too many in recent years, but those championships seem to stand out because we all remember it happened in consecutive years. The Chicago Bulls versus the Utah Jazz in 1997, 1998 What I remember most was the Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone wrestling match getting up off the floor and oh-yeah, a few incredibly clutch buckets by Michael Jordan as the Bulls took both championships. The Dallas Cowboys versus the Buffalo Bills in 1993, 1994 The Cowboys thoroughly dominated as the "Triplets" of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith strutted their stuff with Jimmy Johnson as head coach. The Bills boasted three Hall of Famers of their own in Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas. The Los Angeles Dodgers versus the New York Yankees in 1977, 1978 The Yankees won both Series with Reggie Jackson, Ron Guidry, Graig Nettles and Goose Gossage leading the way. The Dodgers great infield of Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Davie Lopes and Bill Russell exacted revenge a few years later in 1981. The Los Angeles Lakers versus the Detroit Pistons in 1988, 1989 Magic Johnson's crew (with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) split with Isiah Thomas' "Bad Boys" crew. The Philadelphia 76ers versus the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982, 1983 A split with Magic and Kareem (again on the list) against Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks and their Philly gang. They faced off three out of four years in the Finals. The Boston Celtics versus the Los Angeles Lakers in 1984, 1985 A split with the classic Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird matchup carrying forth from their college days. They faced off three out of four years in the Finals. The Seattle Supersonics versus the Washington Bullets in 1978, 1979 Two teams no longer playing in the NBA with their nickname or with a franchise played in the years right before the league changed forever with Bird and Magic's entrances. They were a pair of exciting series for the two cities as both had the chance to enjoy winning one. Going further back in time in the NBA and MLB, plenty more great rematches occurred.

Behind the Scenes of AnandTech's Server Tests [Video]by Anand Lal Shimpi on 12/18/2012 11:38 PM EST

univern72 - Tuesday, December 18, 2012 - linkAnandtech is one of my favorite tech sites because of two reasons: it has extremely technical and thorough analysis/reviews of products/tech, and all the content is available primarily as text.
More content is always a good thing, but on news sites, I never watch videos. If you have video content alongside your usual text content, that's awesome. If you have video-only content of things that make much more sense as video (unboxing a product or something), cool. However, please don't make articles you would currently have run as text into video-only. Not only would that be a non-preferential format for at least me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't view video at work.
Keep up the awesome content! Reply
pattycake0147 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkSeconded. Text is much easier to quietly consume throughout the day. I often times read a page of an article at a time and it is very simple to pick up where I left off. Sound through speakers isn't a good idea at work and headphones can be equally frowned upon. I also find that it's easier to retain information from reading it rather than watching a video.
I'm not saying video shouldn't be included, but it should be used as a supplement rather than a replacement. Reply
HibyPrime1 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI actually really enjoyed some of the video reviews. The one that sticks out in my head the most was the nexus 7 review. Topics that are greatly improved with visual aids make great videos. Smartphones, laptops, tablets and things of that sort are great in a video.
I think extremely complex things like disclosing new architectures and the like should definitely be kept to text, it's much easier to re-read text when you didn't get it the first time than to go back a few seconds in a video.
If the videos are to be made in addition to the great written articles, I'm all for it. Anandtech has some of the best tech journalism on the internet, it would be a shame to see that go away in place of videos. Reply
ArpHiemstra - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI can only agree to this. I hardly ever watch video content. Mostly this site is read by me on the work location, a lot of colleagues also do this. Watching video is not really an option. I also find that the depth and width of most review videos I have seen to this date are not up to the same standard as the text based reviews.
So I really hope that video is at most used as a supplement but not as a replacement to text.
Kind regards Reply
webmastir - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI disagree. I really enjoyed watching this. It's nice to change it up a bit. Reply
kylewat - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - link+1 Reply
Mr Perfect - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkSome things can only be expressed through video, but I tend to prefer text, for a couple of reasons.
First, at work or in a public place it's acceptable to quietly read through a text article, while listening to a video generally is not.
Second, video on phones, even using what 4G we have around here, is usually slow to load and a muddy over-compressed mess.
There are other sites that present a lot of video content(Newegg, World of Tanks, other tech sites), but I simply don't bother with it. Reply
Leaninsider - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkOthers like me, like video-content more than text content, depends on the person...

hammer256 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkHuh. I never knew you had a youtube channel. Actually, I probably did, but it didn't stick. Would it make sense to have a link to it on the main site? Reply
jeffkibuule - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkVideo channel seems to be Anand's personal YouTube account, rather than an AnandTech branded channel. Reply
tspacie - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkThe youtube channel is news to me too. The ORNL videos are interesting, if dry. Reply
jamyryals - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkThe video worked great for me, and I've really enjoyed your previous videos and podcasts. A couple requests for you. Look at making your video delivery mobile friendly; easier said than done I know. Also for the audio portion, please normalize :) Keep up the good work guys. Reply
J_Tarasovic - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI'll second mobile friendly. HTML5, please? Reply
Poopship - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkneat Reply
DerPuppy - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI prefer text content to the audio/video content. easier to skim and it saves a lot of time. Catching up on podcasts took me a long time because I couldn't easily skip past sections without missing something else. It really pushes my attention span when the reviewer dictates the speed or naturally speaks as they think of things. Would rather get through the content quickly. Reply
MarcusMo - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkWhy would you want to host your own video content? If you do however, I sincerely hope that you'll be supporting standard HTML 5 video on non flash devices. Maybe there's some information about this in the video, but I couldn't watch it for obvious reasons. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkYeah, I couldn't watch it on my iPhone.
I have a preference to have text over video. I do watch the videos on occasion; like today. But generally do a lot of reading in between tasks at work.
I remember the video of the Acer Windows 8 tablet that was running an Intel Core i5 and that was a must see for the responsiveness of Windows 8. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkIt doesn't work for me on this iPad. Unless there is some copyright concern I don't see why you wouldn't put it on YouTube too. I think more video is great as long as there is a review to go back to for more detailed numbers and specs. I think Anand is very well spoken and does an amazing job of doing one long take and getting his thoughts across. If there was one area that could be improved in past videos from what I remember it is bringing more graphs, charts, and photos across from the text review into the video to make it more visual. There is also no harm in cutting a video into smaller sections, it is just amazing how Anand keeps his thoughts organized and does a video in one go. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkMine stopped loading after I tapped it by mistake (not realizing an ad had started) and then tapped back... I think not using YouTube might be more hassle than it's worth unless a big portion of your content is moving to video.
I can understand other's concerns regarding the convenience of text vs video, but the AT videos are some of the few embedded review videos I ever watched and their podcast's the only one I've ever been able to sit thru. I think Anand does a great job of making either more compelling and info dense than most others of their kind.
Still, I agree video should remain complimentary to the main articles, and/or used for articles you wouldn't otherwise put up in text form (tho I imagine video requires far more prep and polish). Reply
SodaAnt - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkPLEASE make them open in a pop up window, please. If I really want to click on an ad I shouldn't be forced to go back to the video then watch the ad again! Reply
boostern - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkAnand please don't drop the text part of an article, text si for people who trust in you and visit the site very frequently, video is for occasional visitors...and with only videos anandtech will lose the professional part of the site. Reply
ssj3gohan - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkHey Johan, is that 5kS/s 24-bit power analyzer an open source university project? Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkWe'll test it first before we decide how to go further... If you have ideas on how to move forward let me know (email@example.com) Reply
barncii - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI Have always enjoyed reading the articles on this site. They are well thought out and provide technical information that you cannot find in other reviews. I absolutely love the video reviews and im looking forward to even more of them.
thanks again Reply
alpha754293 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkIt's nice to put a face to the name.
I'm actually still running more LS-DYNA and HPC tests right now on a 3930K that's been OC'd to 4.5 GHz.
My plan is to ultimately start to incrementally OC it by an additional 100 MHz to 5 GHz, and to finish testing at that speed.
So far, it's doing the LS-DYNA runs using about 325 W. I've got 64 GB of DDR3-1600 and also I've got a EVGA GTX 660 that's probably also pulling a bit of power (although I'm not taxing that nearly as much yet).
I would (naturally) of course like to see more HPC benchmarks, but as you've probably already experienced, the HPC tests take quite a lot of time to run. Reply
alpha754293 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkI'm curently in the middle of a 31-hour run right now. Reply
Braumin - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkThat was a great video. I agree with others that I prefer text articles as well due to not always being able to listen to a video, but it's nice to have the option.
Very nice test setup I use some of that same equipment every day. SSDs sure have changed the storage game - amazing what you can do with a single enclosure and a SAS cable where as you used to need multiple FC HBAs and a SAN to get that kind of performance. Reply
Rocket321 - Wednesday, December 19, 2012 - linkWon't play on android so I won't be able to watch it any time soon. I hope you add mobile video support before the roll out. Reply
Cerb - Sunday, December 30, 2012 - linkI'm amazed I didn't wake the neighbors! Damn! If you're going to have ads in front, you need to have them properly normalized (to a similar average SPL as the content). Reply

Civilized - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI guess Anand was right about the market maturing and leveling off, although I feel like such is small increment is a disappointment. Samsung did nothing to address the concerns of the previous generation Galaxy, and to top it off it seems like they are sticking with the tiny pixel/ no OIS setup. Reply
Mondozai - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkBasically the only thing that I can see going for it is the IP67 certification. That's it. I don't want a fingerprintscanner, although I know a lot of folks do.
Not even 3 gigabyte of RAM. Not higher resolution. Not lower weight. Even the design is exactly the same.
It's a total disappointment. This is weird saying but it seems like Apple is now more innovative than Samsung. First to 64 bit, first to fingerprint scanner(for those who want it). Sapphire glass is rumored on the next phone, possibly solar-powered.
One thing is certain: the era of Samsung's domination of the Android ecosystem is coming to a close. Reply
Civilized - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkNot even, it actually has 2GB of RAM (article correction). Reply
Mondozai - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThat's exactly what I said.
Not even 3 gigabyte of RAM as a new thing, which they should have added at a bare minimum. Reply
Civilized - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou are right! Sorry :) Reply
ddriver - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkAll in all, S5 is no longer the high end - it is the Note series. Glad I got the Note 3 rather than wait for S5. Reply
akdj - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkHmmm...guess we can count on the comments in each n every Android article eh, ddriver? Pretty easy to go back, read the reviews if the 5s and N3. I've got both and as Anand and Brian's measurements show....the 5s AND Note 3 ARE BOTH the 'high end' when it comes to their respective designs. The 5s actually takes the cake in more benchmarks than the N3. So, again, as an owner of both myself can you explain to me why the '5s is no longer high end...it's the Note series?' Agreed, Note is the flagship 'Samsung' handset. But in comparison with the the 5s, it has many shortcomings. I like my N3 for business. iPhone for pleasure. They're BOTH STILL 'High End'. Reading comprehension will go a LONG way if you continue to participate in these discussions and if you're too ignorant to notice the iterative evolutions of the 'S' series....it's hard to know where to start teaching ya! Reply
B0NES96 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkHe said S5 not 5s. Meaning the Samsung Galaxy S5. Reply
hrrmph - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkThe Note 2 has OIS. For Samsung to miss that mark on the N3 *and* the S5 is not good at all.
Also, Samsung is going backwards on the back covers. The old ones were fine (I clean my screen and back covers daily regardless of what brand it is, and I like it that way). These new ones are going to trap grime big time... yuck.
Samsung shoulda stuck to their guns and kept it practical instead of chasing the "jewelry and faux leather" market. Apple can have that. They're good at it. Functionality is what I care about. USB 3.0 is a nice touch - I hope it works well. Reply
extide - Saturday, March 01, 2014 - linklol... talk about reading comprehension... Reply
petergreyhill - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkso quick to throw stones ....remedial reading might help but it does explain why you re so eager to hype the 5S. Reply
coachingjoy - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkInnovation, while still advancing, is not going to make leaps and bounds found in previous generations. Phones and their ilk are approaching commodity status. Reply
anubis44 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - link"Phones and their ilk are approaching commodity status."
Exactly. What the hell do people expect them to cram into the phone at this point? A genital-tickler? A surrogate brain? A portable particle beam weapon? Jesus Christ, what a pack of spoiled brats we're all becoming in the West. No wonder we're just sitting around fiddling with stupid cell phones while our politicians sell us out and export all our manufacturing base to Asia.
Be satisfied with the friggin' communications swiss army knife modern smartphones have become, get a life and start helping to restore our economic base again before we become a vassal state to China. Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Friday, February 28, 2014 - linkA slider keyboard would be nice.
Everyone says "nobody buys the slider phones that OEMs release" but none of the slider phones since the original Droid have been high-end phones. Why would anyone buy a 2-generation old hardware platform with a keyboard?
The first company to release a flagship phone with a slider keyboard, meaning the same hardware specs as the non-slider flagship, will find themselves selling a lot of phones. Reply
WinterCharm - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkExcept apple seems to have plenty to happen.
It's just this: Innovation happens sporadically. You cannot "roadmap" innovation. In either the case of Samsung or Apple... there will be times when it feels like nothing "new" is happening. This may be one of those times for Samsung.
People tend to freak out, but just realize that Innovation is SPORADIC, IRREGULAR, and takes time. Reply
JoshHo - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkSorry about that one, I assumed that it would have 3GB of RAM as just about every high end flagship that I've had to write up recently has had 3GB of RAM. Reply
identity - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkPlease tell us what those flagship phones are that you've written about that has 3gb of RAM. Because the iPhone, LG G2, Sony Z1, and HTC One sure as hell don't have 3gb of RAM. LG G2 Pro and Sony Z2 will have 3gb of RAM when it comes out. Reply
littlebitstrouds - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou answered you're own damn question in the question "LG G2 Pro and Sony Z2 will have 3gb of RAM when it comes out." Hence the OP's statement, "high end flagship" Reply
identity - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkNo shit, 2 phones != about every high end flagship recently. Reply
JoshHo - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkZ2 and G2 Pro were the high end devices that I wrote up recently, and it would make sense for Samsung to include 3GB of RAM if the Note 3 had 3GB of RAM as well. It wasn't until the press release came out that I knew for sure it was 2GB of RAM. Reply
jnana - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkWhat's the use of 3GB RAM on a 32-bit OS? Reply
surt - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - link32 bit os can address 4GB Ram. Reply
Max(IT) - Sunday, March 23, 2014 - linkYes, and your point is ? What's wrong with 2 Gb of ram on a smartphone where 99% of the apps run on 1 Gb (and maybe 80% on 512 Mb) ? Reply
Max(IT) - Sunday, March 23, 2014 - linkHow do you feel "limited" without 3 Gb on a smartphone ?
It's just the specs list, isn't it ?
Typical android users can't stand without the "bigger screen ... More cores ... More MHz ... More ram" adagio at every iteration. This is maybe the reason why many feels underwhelmed by galaxy S5: it's a refinement of the previous S4. I'm not going to consider it, since it's android, but I find it a good evolution of the previous flagship. Reply
nerd1 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI think the camera has a huge improvement (on-sensor phase detection array, realtime HDR), and it still provides replaceable battery and sd extension in spite of rugged construction.
I think this is a very practical phone for many, and that is the most important thing for a mainstream phone. Reply

darwinosx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe Atrix finger print scanner sucked. We all know this. Apple had the first usable one in widespread use. Reply

darwinosx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkHow is it weird to say Apple is more innovative than Samsung when that has always been the case? Reply
rwei - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkSamsung's known for bring incredible at two things:
(1) Seeing an innovative product and then creating their own version (not quite copying, but taking the idea and mass-producing the heck out of it)
(2) Throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks
So the S5 shouldn't be a surprise, as they're just iterating - and none of their experiments has really "stuck" lately. Reply
NeoteriX - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link"This is weird saying but it seems like Apple is now more innovative than Samsung."
...Are. You. Kidding. Me?
I say this as a lifelong Android user, but the smartphone industry has Apple to thank for several upon several of the key innovations in the smartphone space. In fact, let's be real, the complete vertical integration Apple has allows it to innovate in ways that is frustratingly hard for Android—it's able to decide it wants to implement a hardware feature, and *boom*, that's it, OS and software are in complete lockstep unlike the agonizing mess of Bluetooth 4.0 low-power integration on Android.
I'll also point out some other major Apple design wins: first (or successfully popularized) to digital compass, gyroscope, 300+ dpi screen, high aperture camera optics, multiband (world and US) radios, GPU power that was unrivaled for a good year or two, and now, as you point out, the move to 64-bit and fingerprint scanning.
I love Android, and Google and Apple offer compelling competition that keeps the industry moving at a fast clip. I don't begrudge Apple at all, because if it didn't exist, smartphones would be a lot shittier than they are now. Some of you fanboys need to give this garbage a rest. Reply
akdj - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkWell said Neo. No need to worship one overt the other. Competition is what is fueling this mobile 'boom' and what an awesome time to be 'in to technology'. Why not enjoy? This mine's bigger than yours BS sounds more like my nine year iOS son playing Xbox with his buds on Saturdays Reply
Brute.Force - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkWait you want even higher resolution? Do you intend to watch 4K pron at native resolution? Reply

You'd think Samsung and HTC and etc. would grab a page from Apple's book and just delay by six months if they feel like its worth the wait. Crap that made me sound like an Apple fanboy when I've never bought an Apple product in my life. Uhhh, Steve Jobs sucked! Reply

Alex S - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe Lenovo Thinkpad used to have a swipe fingerprint sensor. I realize that the S5's usability depends on Samsung's implementation, but I found the swiping aspect to be terribly error prone, especially in rushed situations. The swipe motion was very sensitive to speed, and friction changed depending on whether your finger was damp or dry. Dry skin tends to grab and suddenly lurch across the sensor, while moist skin slides more uniformly. In general, motion seemed to add a higher probability of error by the sensor. Reply
darwinosx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe Lenovo's fingerprint scanner also sucked. Reply
JBird7986 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI'm singularly unimpressed by the S5. As an S3 owner since June 2012, I was hoping for something that would really be worth the upgrade. I didn't see anything that compelled me to get an S4 over my S3 and I'm just not seeing it here either. I suppose that I'll just need to wait and see what else comes out this year before upgrading. Reply
Laxaa - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI agree. The S4 wasn't a huge upgrade(mainly just the 1080p display) and this is even less than that.
It's the same way I feel about the iPhone 4S vs the iPhone 5S. Sure, the 5S is a very nice phone, but to me it feels like a "stop gap" before the iPhone 6 arrives(most of it has to do with the fact that it only has 1GB of RAM) Reply
Bob Todd - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI'd argue the 4S to 5S gap is enormous. Dual core A9->Cyclone. Larger screen. Higher resolution. LTE. Most of those advantages existed with the 5, which was itself a much larger incremental improvement over the 4S than this seems to be over the S4 (Swift was still a huge upgrade over A9). But agreed on the gimped RAM. I'm due for a work phone refresh soon but I'm going to hold onto the 5 until the 6 is out, partly for the assumption that we'll see a move to 2GB. Reply
Mondozai - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkWe're entering the era of "good enough" in the smartphone space. If you've been happy so far you'll be happy for plenty of time ahead. At least until you need a new smartphone due to lack of software upgrades(unless you're doing custom ROMs). Reply
surt - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI wouldn't agree ... performance sucks. I find most of the interactive web barely usable on Galaxy S4 ... we need cpu/gpu performance to jump another 10x before it will really be enjoyable. Reply
djpavcy - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkSame here. The only phone that got me excited is the Sony Z2. Beautiful design and top specs across the board. If I didn't already own a Nexus 5 I would buy it in a hertbeat Reply
Mondozai - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkSony Z2, "beautiful design"? Surely you must be joking.
Compare the original Sony Xperia Z(not the Z1) and compare its sleekness to the bulky monsters of Z1/Z2. Not even close and a design regression. Sony's Z tablets are much more beautiful by comparison. Reply
agent2099 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThis is very underwhelming. Since 2010 the market has been very stagnant. Retina displays and industrial design were the last major upgrades and since then manufactures have resorted mostly to processor upgrades every year.
How fast the market was moving from 2007 to 2009 led me to believe we would be seeing some true innovation and mind blowing things by now. Even Apple is doing incremental upgrades every year. Better cameras and a faster soc's, this has turned into the PC industry.
Perhaps the market is moving away from innovating in phones and the moving towards wearable devices. Reply
Laxaa - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI wonder what happens when wearable stagnates? Implants? Holo-devices? Reply
pixelstuff - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe market isn't moving away from phones as much as it's bumping up against the laws of physics. The PC industry took much longer because it had to invent everything from the ground up. The phone industry is basically just re-purposing and fine tuning those inventions. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they have most likely reached the plateau in fewer years. Reply
Mondozai - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - link"Since 2010 the market has been very stagnant"
Huh? LTE? And you're forgetting that there is such a thing as software. The smartphone ecosystem, whether Apple or Android-related, has evolved an enormous amount. While stuff like Dropbox or Evernote existed back then, too, their capability and convenience with high-speed smartphones today is almost without comparison when you look at the speeds and specs of 2010 when the services were undeveloped and sluggishly slow.
And then there's the form factors. Most people don't like carrying around 3.5" phones. Reply
zmatt - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThis information looks a lot like the info leaked here, http://www.redmondpie.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-images...
If it is then I have a hard time believing this is the S5 and not the S5 active or some midrange galaxy model to be released in parallel. Samsung's roadmaps have been pointing to much better specs than these and they always have at least one wow spec on the S line to differentiate them.
Furthermore the S5 has yet to be officially unveiled, that happens later today.
If I'm right Anand should hire me as I am more competent then their current smartphone staff. Reply

Unfortunately. If someone comes out with a smartphone without all of these things, they'll probably sell a lot for just that reason. (Of course, it isn't hard to see how governments around the world would force smartphone OEMs to include biometric data for all their devices to get around this). Reply
Hulk - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkJeez. Now we have a couple more million useless pixels. Samsung, how about cutting the MP back to 10 and increasing photosite size? Seriously 10MP is more than adequate considering the tiny sensor size and low quality optics possible in a phone camera. Reply

Guspaz - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe big improvement made in the iPhone 5S fingerprint reader was that it's a 2D fingerprint scanner that can read your fingerprint when you press the home button in a normal fashion... you don't need to do anything extra compared to what you normally do. The reason previous 1D fingerprint scanners failed is because they required a separate and often uncomfortable action (scanning my fingerprint on my laptop was always a pain because of the awkward positioning). So Samsung is totally missing the point here. Reply
steven75 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkSamsung has never grasped subtleties, but that's because their goal isn't an overall more usable device, it's simply after ticking spec sheet checkboxes whether that makes the overall product better or worse. Reply
darwinosx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkExaclty. Very Microsoft like. Derivative and mediocre. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI have to agree. I don't get that Samsung implements 16 MP camera, while the problem is not pixel count, but the fact that you have to be in almost ideal circumstances to shoot a good photo with these devices. The optics and sensors can not handle 8 MP but hey here is 16 MP. Reply
JoshHo - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkThat would give around 1.55 micron pixels, which would mean that the camera would effectively have the same sensitivity as the iPhone 5s' camera. Reply
paradox226 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI like the direction Samsung is taking. I call it the Porsche approach, because that what Porsche has done over 50 years. You look at a modern Porsche you can still see the original design from 1963. Just because their subtle changes does not live up to all the hype does not mean that it worthless. If it isn't broke don't fix it. I would rather have faster hardware than a fancy look, since you can't upgrade the hardware and future updates can slow down a lot of phones. I just got 4.3 on my Note 2 and it has some problems. If you want my opinion they should skip metal and go with carbon fiber. It can be injection molded like plastic (Zoltech) and they can still have a replaceable battery; Which for me is a must. (I have had batteries die before and would hate to replace an entire device all because of a $40 battery.) Also it would take less time to produce than CNC Milling Aluminum. and be way cooler. Reply
Bob Todd - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkExcept the 911 design is thought to be sort of timeless and beautiful by many. Comparing the design language of the Galaxy line to that vehicle is absolutely laughable. You can argue function over form, but these are not "sexy" devices (which doesn't matter to many) so it's a pretty bad analogy. Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkMaybe the 914? Reply
Bob Todd - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkLOL. Definitely not a beauty, but I think it's still probably more interesting looking compared to its peers at the time than the Galaxy will be to theirs in 40 years. Maybe Samsung can shift around some design resources from their refrigerator group... Reply
paradox226 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkNot really, Every flagship needs its design identity. Right know the Galaxy line has its design and their is no real reason to change it. When the 911 first came out it wasn't considered to be a timeless design, but evolved into a timeless design. I like the overall design I and an glad that they are refining the features and not just all over the place with design. Reply
Bob Todd - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkYou're missing the point. Even 50 years later the original 911 is a pretty car.
It had a _good_ design from the beginning that they have been refining ever since. All gadgets have *a* design. That isn't any reason to stick with it over time. There is plenty of reason to change the design of the Galaxy line since that's the one part that is severely lacking. I'm not suggesting they get rid of expandable storage or removable batteries. But they could make a phone with all of the features of the existing line, AND make it damn good looking. 10 years from now the current iPhone/HTC One (or hell many of the Lumias) are still going to be good looking devices. There's no good technical reason preventing Samsung from joining that club, and I wish they would. Reply
steven75 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI don't think there's a company *more different* than Porsche.
Porsche = Decades of small refinements to same vision with nothing that doesn't feel out of place.

Coup27 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkAs a current S4 owner I am massively under-whelmed by the S5. I was considering upgrading but I won't be now. All the talk of a carbon fibre body, 2k screen, etc was all fluff. I mean, STILL a single speaker on the rear? Oh dear. The biggest problem I have with my phone is the near useless ability of the camera in low light. Has this been fixed? Doesn't sound like it from what I've read but I'm not an expert.

As for NSA; are you so naive to think that things are different with Android? And Google is mining your information much more aggressively for their own sake, because their main revenue source is ads from personal information.

CBone - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkFor all the complaining about it being underwhelming, gradual changes with obvious continuity of design is what wins in the phone game. Samsung isn't out to sell a handful of phones to a couple tech bloggers, they're trying to sell a couple hundred million of these things. Weird ass "everything you thought you knew about a Samsung phone is now wrong" changes for the sake of change is not what people or carriers will actually buy. Haters and professional curmudgeons complained enough about them adding software and features that you didn't ever need to use or acknowledge the existence of unless you wanted to at no extra cost. Slow and steady familiarity is the name of the game. This and it's niche seeking derivatives will sell well enough to keep Samsung and Apple the only manufacturers making any money on phones. Reply
tbutler - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkIncremental changes work great when you're starting from a good base. Not so good when the base is bad.
Likewise, incrementalism works when the changes are good and well-thought-out. Not so much when they aren't.
When you have a kitchen sink phone, incremental changes don't cut it. Especially incremental changes that are more of the same 'throw it at the wall and see what sticks.' What it needs most is taking all the stuff that's been tossed in there over the last couple of generations, throwing out the stuff that didn't stick, and tweaking the stuff that did so that it all works together.
If you're going to throw in a fingerprint sensor, don't just repeat the stuff from the Atrix/One Max that didn't work; make it work right and ergonomically.
tl;dr - Incrementalism works when it's refinement. Samsung's more like a katamari. Reply
CBone - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkSamsung has an overall strategy of trying a lot of things. They aren't replacing what is already out there, just adding to it. Why would anyone object to that? It's working for them and you don't have to buy it. How is it a "kitchen sink phone"? There is a clear continuity from the S2 to the S5. The fact that there are other phones (Note, mini, active, etc.) in the family doesn't change that.
You say the base is bad, but their sales say otherwise. They must be doing something right.
There's a difference between using the available features to see what you can do and using the features to look for griping points. Why would you gripe about your local buffet adding more things if they didn't get rid of the things you liked before? Reply

Arctura - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe S5 isn't a poor device in most regards, but I think the timing of the device is extremely unfortunate. Given that we will most likely see a massive overhaul of the iPhone later this year, this incremental upgrade is simply not enough to lure even the most bored of Apple users away.
I'm most disappointed with the lack of OIS (LG's flagship already has it, as does the Lumia 1020 and 920) or a larger camera sensor, but I'll withhold final judgement until I see photos from the device after a few updates.

ThunderOKC - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI said this to Samsung Mobile USA's FB.
For a long time, it was known that the S5 was gonna have 4gb of RAM (and I even hoped that maybe it be 5gb of RAM..get it? S5 as in 5" screen and 5gb RAM, etc). But the 4gb was acceptable since its a lot better than S3's tiny 1gb of RAM. I skipped the S4 cuz I want the S5. And today I learned ita gonna only have 2gb RAM?! Two (2)?!?!?!?!?! With 4gb, I was not planning to root like I had to for the Epic. I didnt root my S3 but now there are more and more apps and they get bigger and bigger. But Samsung gonna ruin the S5 with only 2 frickin gb of RAM?! How pathetic can ya all make such a disasterous business decision?! Now I wonder if I should abandon Galaxy S all together and find a company that's actually smart to give us more RAM cuz most of us are using our mobile devices more often than computer and we need those RAM!!! So the launch date is set for April 11th, which means that millions of screwed up S5 has already been made and its not worthy enough cuz it only have a small baby 2gb of RAM. So... I got two options.... Get it and root it...or...find a better device (non-Apple) with at least 3-4gb of RAM. I cant believe how stupid Samsung can be?! Btw, no announcement of prices...well, I bet its cuz you are evaluating the public's reactions. Well, here is my furious reaction among with the mass many furious others. Now that's gonna drop the prices of the S5. If only ya had done the right thing...ya would've been able to charge more for the S5. What a crappy joke to go around bragging about your "flagship" device (which its not) while it has 2 frickin gb of RAM that will only last the S5 a few months of its full speed potential before it starts to slow down and freeze like the S3. Oh, gawd, I cant believe it... S3 is 1gb, then there is S4, and now S5 at 2gb. WOW!!!!!!!
I'm gonna say... S5 values at $300 for 16gb storage and $375 for 32gb storage. Ya can't charge $5-600 for the S5 cuz of its pathetic RAM. Pathetic!!! Reply
K1664 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI'm actually curious, what apps you use that means your phone needs 4GB RAM?
I certainly don't think your rant on Facebook or elsewhere will drop the price to $300 dollars. An item is worth whatever the punter will pay and whilst I certainly wouldn't, you can guarantee it will sell to the masses at launch price, maybe not in the numbers that the S2 or S3 did, but then they'll lower the price once the initial milking is over.

petergreyhill - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkSamsung does not make mistakes in design - everything is deliberate, defects will occur statistically in any high volume product but there are really no design flubs or shorts.
As far as evolution vs revolution goes, most american reviewer yawned and ridiculed the "phablet" and the big screen S4 - as the public quietly purchased millions of each mode.
My family owns the N, N2, S4, and N3 - and there have been zero defects, zero disappointments, zero breakages, and total appreciation for the power, speed, capacity, and feature sets. The Galaxy phones however are not really aimed at uninformed, average, call and email folks - that would be the iphone. The Galaxies are targeted more for the business class, professionals, managers and extremely busy folks who appreciate solid high performance phones with a ton of time management and productivity tools. As an added bonus you get a very large very hi def display for content consumption - so I cannot image why anyone would prefer watching films, tv, and videos on a four inch 720p display over a very big bright 1080p crystal clear display....specs only support the argument.
High end is a total package and not giving up performance in any arena. Reply

We review all the weekly matchups and available information and create weekly rankings.

"I love the music of Gustav Mahler. Very close to my photostudio, there is one of the homes of Gustav. It is at Auenbruggergasse 2, in Vienna's third district just across from the Belvedere castle. There he lived with Alma when he was the director of the Vienna Opera.
I am passing by almost every day on my way to my studio, looking up to his apartment and being thankful for all the great music he gave us. I went to see Gustavo Dudamel's Mahler 9 with the LA Phil at the Musikverein last year - one of the best moments in my life!
Wishing you all the best for your Mahler Project and all the concerts in LA and Venezuela. Many greetings from Vienna!"

Has anyone had any experience with the Earth Stokes N' Fire classes? They have an impressive list of classes. The fact that their website has been unfinished for quite some time leaves me wondering about them. Any feedback will be appreciated.
