AnonD-129371, 28 Mar 2013Three is the best deal, even competes with the SIM Free opt... moreWhy you timing it by only 12 months? Shouldn't it be 24 months considering the £37 is a 24 months contract.

It would be more like this:

£25 (One Plan) x 24 (months) + £570 = £1770 (though the average price of the phone sim-free is gonna more likely cost £600 - at least for first 3-4 months before price reductions take place)


£37 per month for two years is by far much more worthwhile.

Most people if they were getting sim-only plan, wouldn't go for the highest price tariff though I know you are trying to compare apples with apples in term of the minutes/data/sms between the plans.

Most likely the average person will go for £15.90 per month sim-only so will be:

£15.90 (Ultimate Internet SIM 600 12 months) x 24 (months) + £600 = £981.60

Now the above looks more appealing to users looking to buy a sim-free S4

      AnonD-130063, 28 Mar 2013My opinion 1080p AMOLED will show some burn ins. Phone ... morethe phone size smaller than the S3
      i had the s3 and i didnt see any burn.
      as for it being made out of plastic most phones are and
      even the Htc one has plastic. so what all of sudden people
      are starting to think that Metal is some new form of material
      it has been around since the creation of the world.

      And yes the Htc one is very beautiful but until
      Htc show me that they will support a phone.
      And that they will finally put a battery in a phone that will
      last out the day (and yes i have had 4 Htc products)
      i will not buy another one although i am tempted

            LTE, 28 Mar 2013Sorry but you opinion here is not valid. When the phone re... moreSamsung should have gone for Snapdragon 800....There is no point in using 8 core when they can't be be used at same time, please don't say power consumption.

            It will surely lag while switching. Snapdragon 600 could do 60% of the job.

                When the phone released we will see and I'm sure it will be the best and i have S III for nearly a year now no burn in display, no lag and I'm sure SIV will be the best phone of the year like S III.

                  My opinion

                  1080p AMOLED will show some burn ins.
                  Phone size very big.
                  Plastic build not good.
                  Switching between cores makes the phone lag.

                        AnonD-130063, 28 Mar 2013But plastic looks so cheap, even plastic scratches and breaks.But aluminum is cheaper i can go to any garbage and collect like 10 soda cans? and i make myself HTC One or Z?

                        Paint on Aluminum body can easily be peeled off with one scratch, while Plastic is integrated with the color so if it scratched will still give you the same original color while Aluminum will show an ugly gray color.

                        BTW there is plastic bullet proof and plastic is elastic you can bend it while your soda cans can't.

                        Plastic is lighter and thinner, and doesn't conduct electricity so there is 0% of getting electrified while charging your phone.
                        Plastic doesn't interfere with antenna so less drop calls and better signal and less damage for your brain and less precancerous.

                                And enjoy you dented scratched soda cans after one month of regular usage.

                                      operators are just ripping people off.. sim free is £530 NOT £630 for a start. only 3 are great value at £35 with a free S4... they will get loads of new customers unless the others so ripping us off!
