Wow people justifying ridiculous priced phones as VFM just because as per them it "performs". All flagship phones including iPhone are over priced.

PS: I myself own iPhone so I am
Not favoring or against any OS.

Overpriced factor comes when some other phone performs better in less price, if not that high priced becomes VFM. :)
I myself owned iPhone 4. It was great VFM because of its smooth iOS performance with retina display. iPhone 4S came around didn't changed much overall but the camera and gaming performance.

Hawwwwwww. Rider said 35k !!! :(

Rider, now you need to give 10k subsidy to every TDF member who buys S4.

No arguments please :)

Not official though, also we all know one can buy for 41k if it is 44k

IMO it would be the worst decision if the MRP is 44k

Today Team Hacksung (CM maintainers for S2/S3/Note/Note 2) made an announcement in the XDA Galaxy S4 forum:

Nobody at team hacksung (the team behind galaxy s2, note, s3, note2, gtabs... official CM ports) plans to buy it, neither develop for it. There are two variants which will be a pain to maintain, the bugs we have on the s3 will probably be there on s4 too (camera), and we all know Samsung ability to release sources while staying in line with mainline. Yes qualcomm release sources, but exynos sources we had were far from actual galaxy products. I'm pretty sure the same will happen for this one.

That's a uniform "no" from us.


So no big developers will support S4. And also no CM10/AOSP Roms (even if there will be any from new developers, it would still be unstable due to Samsung's attitude towards developer community).


Touchwiz for LIFE :p :D

owwww that's a big blow for Samsung, and big blow for people like me.

Well you should get S4 US version with Qualcomm CPU then. It will most likely get CM & AOSP ROMs as Qualcomm releases all sources unlike Samsung.

Even the Qualcomm powered S3 (US models) have a lot of CM/AOSP development unlike the Exynos S3 which has broken CM/AOSP due to Samsung's unwillingness to support development community.

I don't know about you guys but the S4 IMHO sucks bad.

It looks even uglier than the S3, has no innovation, and seems to a a set,of features slapped together without any thought. No aim or coherence in design in this model. I would very much choose an Xperia Z or HTC One 2013 over this junk.

Samsung always made false promises to developers to generate more sales but never kept their word. Now finally the developers have had enough of Samsung's lies and BS. :)
