Samsung Galaxy S4 preview: Take two

19 March 2013
Number four was unveiled last week to set a new kind of fever brewing, after briefly easing some of the pre-announcement tension. Carriers are tripping over themselves to secure deals, while customers...

Samsung don't innovate at all. All they do is copy.

they copied iPhone's design look and feel.
the slide to unlock feature, the pinch to zoom

Now Samsung wallet is an exact copy of iPhone's passbook which has been out for 2 years.

when will Samsung learn to stop copying.

True, it is not going to render as much detail in normal lighting as the 920 BUT I'm sure we all know that the major weakness of smartphones and P&S cameras is LOW LIGHT, not normal lighting.

              Judging by the amount of posts you made(at least every 3rd post is yours) you seem, for some weird reason, to be a biased HTC fan. How could you say the S4 is almost the same like the S3 generally? There are waaaaaay more features, way better hardware under the same look alike hood.

              I like samsung but I am not biased, I don't argue with facts, just like when I acknowledged your proof of the HTC being faster. You on the other hand read the gsmarea review and still have the nerve to say the sgs4 is the same as the sgs3, thats ignoring facts and you only do that when you have a bias.

                Impressive, very impressive! Most advanced smartphone for 2013, whether you love it or hate it. All fanboys (i, htc, nokia, xz, galaxy, nexus) attentions are focussed on the S4. Why? You know, don't you?

                      Design also matters and i think you should always need to get brightness down while watching the videos in samsung otherwise your phone battery will also get down. :)

                        I know design is down to personal choice. But its impractical to judge newer phones based solely on its physical design. 95% of a phones appearence consists of the display. So the quality of the display should be the main concern. To me SUPERAMOLED is the most beautiful diaplay it looks stunning.. pictures and videos are beautiful and vivid due to an infinte contrast ratio. I watch alot of videos on my S3.. turn the brightness all the way down the videos look more natural and better than my led tv. People are wowed by how good the display looks, Before they even look at the frame or body of the device same applys to all display devices. As a consumer you need to work out whats important. Your spending 100% of your time looking at the screen rather than the body of the phone..

                          If only I could custom clothe this in an SII design! Does Samsung listen to the voice of customers.I beg. Anyone who can custom make this?

Why? Are they all blind and dont know what a good looking phone looks like?

                            Nice try kid, alot of people do research before buying phones, and obviously they loved the specs and features of the GS3. You can also apply plastic covers to make any phones looks good, and if the ugly GS4 starts selling better than your beloved design HTC ONE... what will your excuse be?

                              Anyone arguing against Samsung have to realise android became popular due to the galaxy series of phones.. htc and what not wouldn't even be trying to rain on Samsungs parade if there wasnt one.

                                  99% of consumers don't buy a phone because of specs, only you lot of geeks. Design matters and if I saw a HTC one next to a GS4 I'd take the HTC everytime. Don't forget most people who got the GS3 are on 2 year contracts and the GS4 isn't enough of an upgrade to warrant an upgrade. How many upgraded from Iphone 4/4s to Ip5. Not as many as apple would've liked. I see the same thing happening with this.

                                        I think I've read about the Note devices, that they feature two set-ups for the phone, so you can have one for work and one for personal.

                                        I wonder if there is suck a feature on the SIV, cause that seems really nice (liked the idea back in OmniaPRO days.

                                        (actually I could see myself using more than two sets, one for normal use, one for sport, one for battery saving, one for home activated by wlan or GPS, one for "offline" when data/wifi is turned off)
