14 March 2013
The successor of the most popular smartphone from the most widely adopted platform - it doesn't get much bigger than this in the mobile industry. After months of rumor frenzy and high-pitched hype, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4 at the Unpacked...

The s4 is way better than its competition. its compact than the optimus G pro, htc One, and Xperia Z, amazing screen (can work with gloves on and hover touch, best contrast and amazing color), comes with the latest software and it also has Samsung goodies no manufacturer can match (believe it or not, this is true). the only drawback is the design of which i think is okay.

              Seriously haters??

              The SGS4 has:
              a lot better, bigger, sharper screen
              is smaller thinner and lighter than the SGS3
              reportedly has better build quality,
              has twice the 3G download speed (DC-HSDPA),
              Has double the RAM and processor power,
              will have a lot better battery life,
              looks a lot better than pebble blue with the carbon look
              has a lot of software features and upgrades
              has a lot better camera....

              AND YOU ARE STILL TRYING TO BAG IT!!

              In the early 2000's it was nokia that was top dog and copped the haters, in the late 2000's it was apple, now the Galaxy is top of the pile the haters are after it. HATE AWAY PEOPLES, it only brings more press and drives sales higher.

              ps i will be keeping my note 2 until i see the note 3. (a 5" screen is to small for me)

                  Nothing new..most of these features were already available on LG OPTIMUS G PRO
                  DUAL VIDEO
                  Q-TRANSLATOR
                  2,600mAh battery is not good enough.
                  The design is bad...

                    SIV feature phone...a market strategy... innovation is not just a mathematical equation as easy as 1+1=2...and Samsung is good at that...extracting features from past phones giving extra gimmicks to made-like their own...if you have to borrow idea...should not make it identical to the previous...just use the idea to make it new...lol

                      The white one is quite unappealing, the black one is quite OK (same as with S III). But now the big question remains about the price. Right now, if the prices were approximately even, I would choose HTC One over this device, because of the style. If the price is lower than HTC then I will start rethinking. But, hey, every judgement (except about the design) is premature before some serious reviews here and in other sites. Have to wait. And that should apply to everybody.

                          hm... if there's an option to enable all cores work together, i dont know how fast it would be.

                          The truth is 4 a15 runs for best perfomance and 4 a7 runs for power saving. that's why on antutu benchmark, this device is lesser or sometimes in par of htc one.

                            On the first page of this article.. it says "the bigger battery etc keep it going loner"

                            Is the SGS IV a loner?
