Exynos OCta benchmarks are here.

Overall mixed bag. Slightly more scores in Antutu and Geekbench. Lower than S600 in Quadrant and Epic Citadel as well as 3DMark for Android

Hmmmmm. That's a bit surprising. GL Benchmark 2.7 scores of Octa S4 are lower than Xperia Z even. And real world gaming performance worse than S3 :O

^^Honestly,the link to the article you posted is rather pointless and borderline stupid.
S3 was a fantastic phone,other than the abundance of plastic and super saturated screen it was not a bad deal at all.
Repeating the success of GS3 was not easy but overall GS4 is not a bad deal either(provided priced sanely)
Same thing happened to iphone with 4/4s.4 was phenomenal,4s was rather underwhelming,but overall not a bad up grade.
htc One is a different story altogether,finally htc deservingly is getting attention for all right reasons(after the legendary Leo aka HD2).Phones designed like One or iphone4 can not come every year,no matter how innovative the manufacturer is.
Overall Sony's performance remained most underwhelming in 2013.So far both Z and ZL is just about ok.They are not bad by any means but the display quality is rubbish,which is just not acceptable for 30/35k phones in 2013.

In some units it IS rubbish. And red dragon's friend happens to be one of the unfortunate ones to get a bad display. Newer batches do not have bad screens though.

Water-proof, dust-proof ruggedized version of Galaxy S4 releasing soon.

At the Samsung Galaxy S4 launch in Dubai today, the President of Samsung Gulf Electronics Mr. Young Soo Kim mentioned that a ruggedized version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be coming in the months ahead. Two features that Mr. Young Soo Kim mentioned were that this upcoming model will be water-proof and dust-proof which is something that the Sony Xperia Z is already capable of.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launching in Dubai over the next few days at a price point of AED 2599. The LTE version will follow a couple of weeks later.

gsmarena reviews are critical about Sony Xperia Screens, especially viewing angles including the Z.
Sony Xperia Z review: Zero hour - GSMArena.com
However, the screen is by no means perfect. First of all its viewing angles aren't really great. They are a step forward compared to the Xperia T, but a very minor one. In that area Sony still has a lot of work before it catches up with the competition. More disturbingly, the display has rather poor contrast for a flagship unit and not really inspiring colors. As testified by the measurements in our dedicated test it comes nowhere near the standard of its main competitors and it even fared worse than its predecessor
