              >>didn't address the main criticism about its predecessor, the design

              oh come on. it's _slightly_ less uglier than the SIII

              plus the features and durability are more important.

                IMHO, Samsung doesn't emphasize much on the aesthetics of the phone but more on the display and what's under the hood. Sure some may say that their design is bland and all the models look rather similar. But hey, it's a practical design and it's comfortable to hold and operate.

                Anyway, what does one look at when using the phone ? The body or the display ?

                  It seems that S4 is laggy like S1 plus 2 to 3 second delay just to open an app! octa core A15 1.6 plus quad-core A7 1.2 and still LAG. Please don't tell me this demo unit cause I played with S3 demo unit in the store no LAG.

Grow up and look what’... moreWell said buddy, they just want to criticize no matter what, this mobile rocks really good, I have S2, S3, Note2 but this S4 is really different, amazing with all the meaning of this word.
                          People are talking about the "design" what the heck do you want it a triangle? or a cube? all mobiles are the same once you carry it and use it you will NEVER think of what's around the screen, unless you are a teenager and want to impress a girl in a childish way, so wake up guys, Sammy did impressive job to bring this piece of art to your hands.

                            Its like a hybrid of s3 and note2 and it looks nice
                            I probably will buy it and because Im from Lithuania I think it shows in country only on the end of May so I will buy it then.
                            I dont like people who buy phone only because its logo is expensive and only wants to show that they are “ very cool “
                            I like sgs4 dont because its logo , but because it very good phone with awesome specs and design ( for me).

                                Funniest comment so far.

                                Rolls Royce and Bentleys don't change drastically they evolve and that is what Samsung is doing..

                                LOL. Comparing Samsung to Rolls Royce and Bentley

                                    S4 - sexy, zippiest, snappiest, eye popping screen, advanced, high tech., ultimate, superb hardware... BUT super power hungry... why samsung did not consider the battery? i mean sacrifice at least a millimeter to put up a large battery (3500 mah). my S3 drains battery so fast, it only lasts for a day... (sigh)

                                        Hey guys can you help me? Im thinking about buying a phone on april and confused at what phone to buy. My first choice is the lumia 920 due to its uniqueness, camera and best of all-- no lag, but what i hate here is lack of games, and its pretty thick. Next is the xperia z which has a really gorgeuos exterior but a really crappy UI ive heard that it lags as well. Then the last would be this, the samsung galaxy sIV im totally inlove with what samsung put up in this phone its like you almost have everything you need, except for the exteriors, the design of it looks lame and mid-range so its a big off because the first thing consumers see is the design of the phone, kind if disappointed. So what do you guys think? Any suggestions?
