            pichai is leading Android through ios path. following ios route is not that good trend IMHO. we are Android we have our own way...

In regards to the memory, you do know it has expandable storage "up to 64 gigs" and a removable battery, and best product support that any other manufacturer. There is a reason they are selling like hot cakes.

                              I have the phone it only gets hot when playing FHD games and i have a rubber case so i don't feel the heat, Other than that nothing of what you mentioned is true.

I know my S3 running CM 10.1 RC2/JB 4.2.2 is super smooth and fast, night and day from stock JB with Samsung TW, people who never ran an unbloaded device have no idea what they are missing, all that carrier and manufacturer bloatware and custom skins does nothing but slow down the device big time. Here you will get a super fast device that will run a smooth stock OS with automatic updates as they are released by the software manufacturer "Google", not having to wait for your carrier to make sure all their bloatware works with the latest update, and the by not unlocking the phone yourself you do not void the warranty. Verizon it was nice knowing you.

                                      S4 is hardly the best smartphone of the year because all of the problems, such as lacking storage, intermittent lags, overheating and screen color fading to name a few.
                                      Horrible decision by Google for not knowing that's the outcome of the S4 before dealing with Samsung.
