    Again for the people who cannot understand the reason for plastic backside:
    1 ability for integrated flipcover and s-view cover which is even more functional!
    2 replaceble battery
    3 external micro sd
    If you want to offer this as a company you JUST CANNOT USE ALUMINIUM....
    Im actually already laughing at those people who dislike plastic to the extreme and buy the most hideous PLASTIC protection cases for their precious aluminium phones.
    Soon i have a beautifull s4 with a extremely usefull s-view cover and a free 64gb micro-sd AND probably the most capable phone at this moment!

      Oh jesus christ, if Note 3 goes metal and S5 goes metal too, that'll cause a world war among fanboys with HTC and Apple fanboys saying that even Samsung hates plastic and Samboys saying that S5 is now a monster both internally and externally.

                      crap phone, all sammy phones look the same, and here in india they are begging people to buy their stuff with all that discounts and tv ads..... STill me and my friend circle considering buying a htc one, experiaz or nokia catwalk. I dont know about the other parts of world but in my office as well i have seen more htc,s sony and lumia,s .... Sammy phones frankly look like a cloned stuff and cheap plastic, s2 and s3 gets hot easily wnile downloading sometning frm the internet or accessing web browser. Grande has already lowered its price to 18000inr within one month of its launch it was introduced for 22000inr , that means it is discounted by roughly $ 90-100. Which shows that sammy has already lost it. The aftersales service is a big headache vid sammy, god save u if ur phn gets damaged or something cause it takes months to repair and frankly sometimes u shell out extra bucks......like all the fake and deceitful advt this s4 will also have d same. . Its better i should buy xiomi, or huwei chinese give gud products now at affordable price. In india mmx, karbon and lava are manufacturing chinese phones with good quality and they are frankly value for money..

                          I believe it is time to change the S4 Exynos spec from 1.6 GHz to 1.8 GHz

                            a nice try by sammy, but some old itches are left to be scratched 1.dated design - sammy should consider a more mordern, dynamic design
                            2.material selection for the body is poor, it is a hell of a fingerprint magnet.....atleast the finish should have been matte....
                            3.one thing I personally dislike about samsung is its logo.....it looks downroght cheap....they shpuld adopt a more futuristi mordern logo as soon as possible...

                                Anonymous, 20 Apr 2013Actually there is a noticeable difference between the color... moreWhen you get ur SGS4, try to test it. Yes when S-AMOLED screen is set on its original color, it is different from S-LCD3, over saturated color which I hate it so much like in the SGS3 I ever used for a while. But try to adjust the RGB setting like GSMA told u to make the color turn to normal, you have to have a very scientific eyes to differentiate it...

                                    umm....... Ok im going to tell you why is that the s4 is plastic.... bacause when the phone gets hot., the plastic didnt absorb too much heat. But if your phone is made of metal it absorbs heat... and you will be irritated of that.. So samsung is thinking that if you use your phone for how many hours you will not be irritated. :)
