After watching the trailer, I was quite impressed. About time to upgrade from my old Ace.

However, I'll wait for hands on reviews. Anyone knows a price estimation if there's a 2-year contract?

some of the famous dev hav vow will never write any apps or patch any fix for exynos SoC

just incase......i did not say exynos performance is poor

developer hate exynos more than tegra SoC 

You said it was crap, implying a host of associated (mis)functionality with that term.

Of course I've seen the devs thrash exynos due to Samsung's refusal to provide full API details. That doesn't make it crap.

im here to read up infor
but all i get is bashing and saying they wont buy, quality sucks bla bla bal

go back to your XZ thread or HTC One thread    

s4 or htc one
argh i cant decide!

No phone is perfect.

So I rather pick something new, like HTC One or Xperia Z, not repeating same old look phone - S4.

i really need to hold this phone to see how slim it feels on our hand
s3 though is big, it feels smaller with other phone of the same size
i really hope sammy keep this in mind, the slimness of the phone when resting on your hand

yeah... but the feel is diff i am afraid..
you know how it is very chamfered on the S3, it feels really smaller
whereas here the edge not as chamfered on S4, need to get the real feeling of the phone

anyway, im excited for this phone
for once i hope that 2gb rom is enought TW launcher, so when mem is low, it wont kill the launcher

edited: ram i mean

read the review... hmm... nice!! and placement of the home button is now as awkward as S3...

Alright, enough with the bickering and insult. Let's change the topic. Anyone knows of any nice place that offers phone skinning (don't know if this is the correct term) service. Of course not too expensive.

They wont accidentally scratch your phone right? Abit scared. Call me a paranoid. Kekeke

Gorilla grass 3, quite nice.

I just saw today newspaper (china press - chinese newspaper)
said it is 4.2.1 out of the box
but at the end of the livestream, showing 4.2.2
but benchmark for i9500 is 4.2.1 on antutu

yet, why they show it as S 4 instead S IV ??
not like S II and S III is showing I as number, s4 is showing 4 as number instead IV

I don't know how those guys use their phone. Mine 2 weeks still pristine condition
Infact I even tested trying to scratch it using blade n scissors ; it was intact

But but but......didn't it have extra protection in the form of the shatter proof sheet? And super tough exterior that withstands life's hard knocks?

That shatter proof plastic of Z is prompt to scratch. That is 2nd reason I didn't pick Z.

I seldom / never drop my phone, looks ok for me.

Polycarbonate in great quality like Nokia is much better. Samsung polycarbonate is kind of fragile lo.

I think there will be a lot htc one casing, bumper or pouch around for you to protect your dear phone!!

or you prefer to use it naked and expose it to possible dent and scratches
