You are talking about just a phone. If I was Kazuo Hirai and read your thread I will give up the CEO seat and gift it to you. :lol:
I read and watched many love stories but never see this much love that you have with Sony. Hats off!

My love is nothing compared to yours, brother. :)

I shout about my love, but you have selfless and unconditional love towards Samsung :)

Samsung should give you all their cash. Billions :D

No dear, I've selfless and unconditional love towards anything this is actually great. Don't forget I praise Xperia Z earlier in your thread. Initially everything is favour to S4. I'll also brag about the cons of S4 when it will be launched.

Definitely, what else can be better in your budget. BTW how is 65k screen quality? 65k always reminds me of my pathetic Xperia X10 that I used before.

Well in conference review video every phone looks least attractive because of fingerprints all over by hundreds of people. Take a look on verge review.

IMO I didn't felt any difference b/w my S-Amoled display and the one on SGS 2
Only mine was kinda dull and a bit yellowish !

But I feel that metallic effect above and below the display is overdone. Reminds me that silver spinning globe used in disco/club songs in old hindi movies. Remember Disco 82 tun...tun...Disco 82 tun...tun...tun?

Just expanded the size? :shock: What!!
Basically, if samsung brought a new fresh design with average software and hardware changes you would have been more impressed? As far as I care about, if someone is spending money on a phone, he would rather put money on a smartphone that has the best specs on the market than on a sexy phone. I find the S4 pleasant to the eye not as sexy as the xperia z and htc one but what is under that skin, nothing is compared to it. :)

Let me tell you the features of new Samsung Galaxy S4. Some are innovative and really cool to use in daily life.
* The phone size is little bit smaller, lighter and much stronger. They also increased 0.19" more with 441 PPI and non-pentile display.

* The innovative feature which gets ability to shoot images and videos from both rear and front facing cameras "at the same time."

* Air view with fingers, no need of S Pen or stylus.

* Now it supports any gloves for touch screen.

* Smart Scroll that helps to scroll through hand gestures.

* Eye tracking helps to up and down the page.

* Samsung bring the Infrared (IR) tech back. Now we can control TV from smartphone.

* Samsung Knox helps to separate personal and business use of the phone. Just like Blackberry 10.

* S Health will keep you record your diet.

* Group Play shares content with those around you.

* Samsung Smart Pause. That starts and pause the video while you move your head from the phone. (Amazing)

* Uber fast camera performance that takes 100 pictures in seconds.

And many more that I forgot... someone please tell.



:lol: I know by knowing the performance,features and display of Xperia Z people will definitely through their phone in water. That's why sony gave this feature. #JK
Jokes apart. That water proof body is only a safety feature like airbags on car. I personally don't prefer sharp sexy edges of SXZ, it makes uncomfortable to grip. :)

Eye scrolling-Lg released it few hours before S4 :D

Does any of the features in S4 require dedicated hardware? If not they'll soon make their way into other phones wouldn't they?

Don't forget the ultimate developer's support of Galaxy phones. And dude take a look on features for a second. You just see the body and start saying same old S3 with little bigger screen and more megapixels.

Thats the only reason geeks recommend Galaxy phones... Unlocked bootloader or easily unlockable bootloader. Faster updates than other phone manufacturers. Easy to flash phone and to recover from it using ODIN. Availability of source code in a reasonable time...

If HTC One X had unlocked bootloader and ease of flashing custom ROMs,, then I would have selected that phone for my Dad instead of Galaxy S3 (in September 2012).

Companies like Sony and HTC should learn this from Samsung. Support the developer community, and you will get their loyalty. Make it hard for the developer community, and your devices will burn and fail.

Errrrrr...........

Samsung and developer friendly? LOL.

I guess you are not aware about the recent developments but all top Galaxy developers on XDA have stopped or are about to stop supporting development for Exynos based devices due to closed source nature of Samsung. They do not release kernel sources in time, or release buggy ones. Their ROMs are full of bugs and take weeks to be stable.

Not my words but top Samsung Galaxy XDA developers are saying this.

They have all shifted to Sony Xperia T/ Xperia Z. You can go and check GS3 forums on XDA. :)

Or just ask Samsung Galaxy owners in this very forum who are into custom ROMs etc how the CM10 development scene is for GS3 and other Exynos based devices,

Can I use the S4 as a bucket to store water, or go shopping vegetables with it as a plastic packet? I might consider one then!

Allllright !
Take a look at actual size comparisons of S4 - One - iPhone5 - Lumia 920

iPhone 5 looks so puny beside the biggies..:p

Personally I loved both the design and the hardware.. But with all the extra features (only a few are useful, rest are gimmicky) battery performance might be affected, even with the 2600mAh battery..

And for those who dont favour plastic get a aluminium case if you want.. :mrgreen:
