                            It seems that galaxy S4 with 4.2.2 and touchwiz version not doing well in US that's why Samsung release this vanilla 4.2.2 version of S4.

                              This would be awesome, I expect them to take this approach on all their phones, to give their customers more variety. I think S4s with TouchWiz will be outselled by the AOSP S4s.

We should start gettng almost desktop grade performance 4m the next ARM generation in abt a year from now. I really hope we soon get PC grade storage options too. I really dnt feel like carrying 3 SD cards to accommodate all my mobile digital content anymore! 16 and 32 GB storages r a joke in this day n age!

                                      Someone said in a comment that Google forgot about Motorola. It's like how HP forgot(actually killed it) about WebOs after they bounght it and now is coming on market with android tablets. The Motorola deal meant only that huge number of patents I guess.

                                        Go to Nokia's news and have fun with tiles by scrolling them from up to down as there's nothing to do with windows phones.
                                        Here we're speaking about something powerful here...
                                        S4 is laggy? Maybe in your dreams.
