The difference in price across the world is amazing! At this early stage of price guessing for the S4, it goes from $200 [US] on a contract to $900 [AU] for the same phone with other locations sitting around $600 to $650 [US]. Why can't the product be the same price? It's not like a car which is bulky to ship. How many thousand boxed phones can be shipped in one container? It is a rip off. If they want to sell them, then price them accordingly so we don't have to get grey imports from areas that sell the phone cheaper. Many people take the chance but have problems with shonky importers, huge delivery cost and no local warranty.

Andro, 19 Mar 201399% of iPhone users also have plastic cover behind. So, wha... morei hardly use any covers unless i go out partying... and just as recent as yesterday i dropped my iphone flat and screen on the floor from about 4 feet... i felt a tear coming down my eye. thank god nothing happened, not even a scratch.

I KNEW this feature would make it to the S4 as soon as the Lumia 920 was launched, jst as I was certain it would feature big.Little processor! I feel vindicated! Samsung r always "inspired" by either Nature or their rivals!

I mean this is gettng seriously ridiculous - dnt these nitwit companies have any sense or sensibility abt comfort levels, these things r gettng too huge 2 carry arnd, much less make phone calls or hold it 2 ur ear! I jst saw a guy makin a call with his Note 2 the other day, seemed like he was holding a radio from the old days 2 his ear! Lol! I guess 1 of the main reasons the Iphone still sells well despite not having any spectacular specs is cos of it's relatively convenient form factor! When d heck r foldable phones gonna be mainstream, I guess by d time they do we'll be havin 10'' "phones" in our pockets! Increasing d screen size insanely seems 2 be d only "innovation" Samsung is capable of these days, but of course all the droid makers follow suit! I hear the Galaxy Note 3 will be 6.3''! Roflmao! Samsung had better provide wireless bone conduction tech 4 making/receiving calls without any headgear!

I do agree that smartphones in overall are really overpriced ATM, but they are still in their early evolution and that's why they are so expensive.
As goes for their functions for the buck, what do you think 90% of people do on their 700€ laptops and smartphones? Yes, you got it, same things! :D
But with a smartphone you can slide it into your pocket and always have it with you wherever you go and do the same thing as you would do on your laptop. Oh, and try fitting your laptop into your pocket! ;)

Air View is nothing but Knockoff of Air Play
Eye tracking is a 'App' can be found in google play
also to add here by that smart stay in s3 was a fetaure that was launched 2 months before by a pp deve;oper on the app store
pop up video was again not an innovation
if u talk about the new fatures on s4 look at other brands that had already came out with the same things a month or two nefore before
WAKE UP .................WAKE UP ..................WAKE UP ..............WAKE UP ............ AND STOP UR WHIT WHEN U DONT KNOW EVEN HALF ABOUT IT ...AGAIN WAKE UP

Why I think this? Lovely phone, nice features but what about a cheaper phone around 100-200. I'm sure that can do many features a top phone can. I can get a HTC one s between 100-200 and still be on jb and have a good processor. -_-
