Guys - If you are from India and buying S4 - I would suggest you stay off for sometime until things are settled and Samsung may come with a better version. Right now it is my second phone in 6 days and it feels like having a Iron Box :-) at your hand. And interestingly what I noticed in Poorvika Stores Kodambakkam is that they were not promoting S4 or even selling them. Because I had to get a replacement phone, they brought it from somewhere, they also gave me an option of buying some other phone - I should have done that. But there was a guy who wanted S4 - but he was not given one. I suspect the reason to be that something is happening with these dealers and Samsung, they should probably be recalling those devices - I am guessing.
Back to my second phone, I am gonna return it again to the Service Center as it is the process in India, they give it packed in a sealed condition with some forms filled up (it is called DOA). I need to provide this to Poorvika Mobiles - where I bought this one, they give me a replacement. This time I am thinking I may go for some other phone. Samsung - you disappointed me and lot many Indians with your S4.

      if you don't like the Galaxy s4 then buy something else and be happy good god , why you telling us , if you already own the galaxy s4 and you don't like it just get your money back from the seller , Samsung is a Company not a Person, you and your silly comments are not hurting Samsung 's pocket they also sells other stuff . you tried this with the Galaxy s3 did it work No Samsung is still standing , it's a Company , do you own a smartphone company . ( i don't )

              Anonymous, 07 May 2013Hey what's with this phone, I tried to sync 10GB of music f... moreThe Galaxy s$ is 16GB, but when you buy it, out of the box, there is only just over 8GB free.

              I feel this phone should've been released with 32GB as standard for the same price. Almost 50% of your internal storage is gone when you get the phone.

              I would suggest buying a fast speed Micro SD Card of 32GB or 64GB when you buy the Galaxy S4, and keep all of your media in there.

                  Hey what's with this phone, I tried to sync 10GB of music from my 16GB iPhone 4 and all the memory filled up.

                      I put S3 side by side of GS4, honestly not much difference slightly bigger look and feel the same if not worse.
                      not impressed with what samsung done this time!
                      they have gone backwards rather than forward!

                      why on earth I would need to more/brows the internet with my eyes!? what is wrong with my hand!?

                      just such a silly addition to this phone which of no use to anyone as a average user! I just don't get it, and just feel let down by Samsung! they need to start to look from OUTSIDE of the BOX (meaning the look and feel of the phone) before improving inside!

                      please do somthing about this plastic, cheap, feel to the phone! even worse than S3 I would say, in my opinion!
                      I hope pople chose wisly!
                      good luck all
