Hi guys, I am ready to upgrade my phone but cannot decide upon which one to buy this time around.

I'm personally inclined towards the Sony XZ for the design and look, but SGS4 I9500 seems to be powerful device.
My usage is average like multimedia, day to day phone tasks, surfing etc nothing hardcore.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as the price difference is around 10k between them and I'm sure many here are much experienced to share their wisdom!
(I'm not particularly interested in nokia/htc/bb/apple)

regards

GS4 should be 10k cheaper and it would be a tough sell, let alone 10k more expensive. Plus there are reported issues with the octa-core version. It's best to just avoid this and get the Xperia Z

Samsung S4 does not have the exclusive factor anymore... Infact i dissed a friend so much that he was planning to get the S4, that he had went for an LG Nexus 4.

Xperia Z is definitely a better buy... if you can get it in official warranty.

xperia Z does not have a good screen... other than that it is great... but if you want multimedia stuff then save money and get a note2 as it has a bigger and screen and you won't be noticing much difference between 1080p and 720p at those sizes... or you could just a wait a couple of month when s4 falls to 55k or 50k used...

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Still, I wonder why the PC Gamer rated it worse than Gollum. 🤔

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️
