AnonD-5197, 21 Jan 2014That sounds like what Android users use their phones for. C... moreExactly my point, thank you.

    TheNeighbor, 21 Jan 2014Uh, customizing Android does not only mean changing font st... more"gesture commands or launching"?... is that the stuff that Android puts on your phone because it's so complicated and stupid that it hides what you really need and than gives you widgets and stuff so you feel smart and in control? :P
    I love the simplicity of Windows Phone (although it has to fix some quick access to wifi and similar). Android is so stupid you need to learn a different interface for each brand and iOS is getting old and trashing itself with widgets like Android.

                  Have you even heard about gesture commands or launching?

                    Android is getting pretty boring now,the same Icons,Same Menu Style,Same Font,every thing is same.
                    If you had money,alternate with Iphone IOS and Android Os,I am not owner of Android,Android does not own me,I love to have both IOS and Android.

                      It will be welcome to have finger print scanner on Samsung,tired of unlocking a phone with Pin,pattern,password,etc.Actually Samsung should had use this feature earlier,but okay now they will use it.
                      People who don't want these features are Idiots..
                      they are saying like they own Samsung..

                        Samsung should put all it energy improving the battery life, instead adding more unuseful features to the unuseful features of the S4

                          harlekkin, 21 Jan 2014You might need it, the rest can live without it. Trust me. Haha, some of use artist types would need at least the Wacom digitizer (S Pen). So far, the Samsung Galaxy Note series offers the most comprehensive Wacom digitizer related functions than any other smartphones out. Trust me, we highly appreciate that feature.

                          I honestly see the usefulness of unlocking a device with a reliable finger print scanner, but if that is the only major piece of significant improvement of an iPhone, no thank you.

                          The mere direct transferring of data to ANY and most devices is intentional with Apple's design. You are forced to use cloud, iTunes, Safari and need extra steps just to share media.

                          Some of you just need to go with the crowd with an iPhone. Some of us don't see it as very useful.

                            TheNeighbor, 20 Jan 2014That's the point of being able to add other apps. An iPh... moreYou might need it, the rest can live without it. Trust me.

                              Ronny, 20 Jan 2014How many of all the iphone features people use anyway? Majo... moreYou've just proven my point. Technology, like smartphones, should be intuitive enough for people to figure it out by simply using it. THAT IS iPhone.

                              iPhone doesn't come with any wasteful features, and the things they advertise as useful, most people ACTUALLY find useful. I don't use Siri that often, but I use it.
                              I share my 4G internet all the time, I listen to music daily, I check my e-mail, use loads of apps, use my GPS whilst driving and love using the panorama feature (it really is so stupidly easy). I FaceTime with my family every couple of weeks and the quality is second to none, and other than that, I just use it as a phone.
