Samsung to keep the physical home button on the Galaxy S IV

13 February, 2013
The report also suggests the Galaxy S IV will have some sort of non-touch gestures.

Why don't those who review all the smartphones at (GSM )ever mention the amount of time it takes to charge batteries. Or am I the only one who's asking this question.

      I like the Samsung smartphones simply because they have a removable battery while many of opposition DON'T.

        As for me that is a good news. It is handy when ur hands are wet, or u have gloves... u still can answer the call thanks to that.

                      Always have to mash the back button? That is NOT a Samsung issue it's an android issue. Blame google

                        People are eager about s4 and it must have s pen because this option only samsung has this is really good decision if it has s pen within 5 inch display
                        people are not interested in bigger screens more than 5 inch

                          Samsung, what is the problem with or without home button on a phone?

                            The Specs are out and unfortunately the SIV is coming with only 1.9 quad core processor and not Eynos 5 Octa Processor... So its the only disappointment. Octa core processor might be used in Note 3.

                                I kinda like the button arrangement of the software button. (back / home / recent apps) -

                                It allows better multi-tasking/app control.

                                The one provided by samsung is a pain .. always have to mash the back button..

                                  Terrible multi-tasking. Congrats Samsung, you'll never have me as customer.

                                      i only use physical button on iphone 3g & 4 only for jailbreaking (redsnow etc), since absinthe only click on screen, i wish i can remove iphone physical button. every time i want close apps, i use sbsetting and assistive touch (on screen home button)..
                                      i don't have any problem using n9 too.
                                      but is't good idea to maintain physical button.

                                        I really like the physical button, makes the life easy, I have assigned so many functions to it
