    A lot of people will stay loyal to the S3 until the price of the S4 drops down in price,as no F.M Radio on the S4,the Radio as been one of the most Popular functions ever put on phones,as paying to use the Radio over the internet on the S4 will not be a Cheap cost

          Looking at the pictures, the two doesn't look that much similar even. Difference is quite much I mean. S4 looks way much better than S3. It looks premium too... from the front atleast.

                  x, 11 Apr 2013Still gonna stick with my s3. Not worth the money to upgrad... moreYeah chances are alot of people are in a 2 year contract with their s3, there's no need to upgrade as the s3 is still a good phone. I am with the galaxy s2. When the s3 came out i didn't bother upgrading because the s2 was and still is a good phone. It's now at a stage where it's still better than some mid-range phones. My contract will expire in August so ill be nicely set up for the note 3, which I'm looking forward to.

                      I'm waiting for the S5. These two looks almost the same. Only some minor improvements.

                        S4 surely better than S III ---- BUT - I won't buy it as it too similar look with S III, having it feel damn bored.

                          I have S2. I'm going to buy S3 or Note 2 because of the FM Radio. It is déjà vu by the way, Samsung D900, if you know what I mean;)

                            As an owner of S3, S4 is better than S3 but I will not upgrade it and wait for S5 to come :)

                                "It may be just an evolutionary step, but it's a pretty big upgrade nonetheless and one that proves 5" smartphones with large batteries don't necessarily have to be unwieldy."

                                  Or rheir relatives to Upgrade to the S4 it'll would be awesome

                                    Don't think s3 owners find s4 as an worthy upgrade, most of them are looking forward to note 3 and s5.

                                      S3 is still the most popular android handset, s4 will beat that in terms of everything.

                                        S3 still has many features and tricks on it especially when upgraded to 4.1.2.
