I feel like Samsung should have said to the world that they were planning to release all these different versions of the s4 and let the consumers decide which one they were going spend their hard earned money on. I don't know about you guys but I don't have the money to Change phones every time a new one comes out but I like to be up to date. To wait another two months would have been no problem for me if I had known their would be a better one available so soon. Maybe we are upsetting ourselves for nothing and this phone will only be made for the Korean market.

      Mobile market is a fast mover and a very competitive one. So i agree with samsung to immmediately upgrade the s4, to have snapdragon800+LTE, as market is moving on that direction. Oppo will be launching one, Nokia is also preparing an obsoleto windowsphone with snapdragon800, HTC same, Sony also, so sammy must be the first!!.

            Q: Which smartphone do you think that it is the best?


            Mr A: Ixxx 5, becoz its screen brightness is 3.7% brighter than its main rival and thus i m consider it has the best screen on the market.


            Mrs C:Nxxx 3310, becoz it has the highest sales among all other smartphone and thus i m consider it is the best.


            Normal Consumer: The smartphone that suits most my needs and preferences is the best smartphone to me.



            So, what's your answer? :D

                [deleted post]Ok so LCD is a couple percent more accurate and brighter.
                It also does not mention weather they account for the S4 getting 20-30% brighter in auto brightness as compared to manual adjustment.
                And that's how most reviews end now because otherwise there is to many fan wars.

                What you can gather from the review and the final is that the S4 is almost on par with accuracy, or has beautiful saturation which most like. It's overall more natural due to true black, high contrast, and more proper white balance. "And for that look at the picture of the pink flower. You can see more detail in the middle of the flower because of contrast." That the LCD is brighter so it performs a little better in the sun and has slightly better whites.

And since it's only been out a couple months we really can't say if it will or will not sell better than the S3.
                        As far as the quantity cheap thing goes you are the one making yourself sound like a jealous hating by claiming false regurgitated fanboy hate as fact.

And they expected to sell even better. As for being what?... I ain't no jealous my friend, i'm not a Nokia user by mistake. I could just buy any Samsung instead of Nokia, why would i be jealous?. Samsung is all over the market, like chinese restaurants, cheap to. It is not like is a rare made of diamond brand. YOU should accept the fact that it is a brand of quantity not quality. Cause this is a fact;).

                                    But all you care about is saying how superior IPS is because that's what you like.
