AnonD-252, 08 Jun 2013808 41MP actually "only" takes very good 5MP, so ... moreWell you were right about cameras....but you you couldn't be more wrong about Amoled...isolated cases of all technology happen with ALL technology. NOTHING is perfect. However most Amoled screens suffer from neither of those and are just fabulous displays.

      How much, if any, of the new gesture features or sensors will be practical or usable under water or in a wet zone? It seems that for this reason the Active version of the phone should cost considerably less than the standard version.

          Better save the money and buy the Xperia Z. This phone sucks with such less specifications and such huge price.

              Indian, 08 Jun 2013What 8mp camera and tft screen :P And hard core fans still ... more808 41MP actually "only" takes very good 5MP, so a good 8MP camera can be better than a 13MP camera!
              Amoled is actually no good at all because they all have problems with "black clipping" in movies and they ALL have problems with "burn in"!
              Active is looking a lot better than original S4!

                          My native reading of the source tells me that the quoted price is a speculation by a market analyst and not a hint from Samsung or it's partners. Furthermore, such speculations are often published to solicit opinions on pricing and help to position a given product on a given market.
                          My guess is that even partners do not know the price yet and it depends on a price curve of the original S4.

                            Actually id pay like $100 more for a device that is waterproof, even if the horsepower is sightly lower

                                I will go for this because, it does not have Amoled screen.

                                Amoled screen of Samsung is bad, because it makes you to believe that Yellow is White.

                                I hate and dont understand why millions of people like it.

                                Cheers!!
