It's region dependent..nearly all Asia use 2600MHz.
If we get a LTE version then that 2600MHz will be included same like S3 LTE and Note2 LTE.
The only question is whether SME gonna bring in the LTE version here or not.?

Smart features for me is useless and I foresee myself not using it at all.
And since it is software based, it can be easily ported into HTC One in my opinion.

I don't care about the appearance anymore. When S3 was announced back then, I was disappointed it design, but I still bought it

Just give it a case and colored/designed screen protector, it will become prettier 
Now now, end of April is very long!

S4 will be available globally by 26th April

Huhh..no LTE means no S4 for me
I was thinking of getting a LTE phone for this year 2013

All my case is not meant to be drop. 
Just a fashion for phone and only to avoid scratches. So can sell later for higher price

I can only hope that Element Case will make their sexiest bumper case for S4.
Dislike their S3 case though

Nope..on S3 we get stock nearly the same time as UK.
Hmm..5 days after UK and the same day of its global release May 30th.

Samsung GALAXY S 4 will be available from Q2 globally including US, partnering with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, as well as US Cellular and Cricket. In Europe, Samsung GALAXY S 4 is partnering with global mobile operators such as Deutsche Telecom, EE, H3G, Orange, Telenor, Telia Sonera, Telefonica, and Vodafone.

My Own Comparison of 2013 Flagship Mobile Phone - Sony Xperia Z v/s HTC One v/s Samsung Galaxy S4

Well. In my view, S4 and new HTC one are the best Android device on the market. Why people demand that much on Samsung?

iPhone 5 is last year product, and I don't see any part it win, no point include it.

It can do that.

Lets play guess the price of S4

I actually prefer LCD rather than AMOLED.
The colour on AMOLED is so over saturated, too fake.

The best is IPS LCD

Nonetheless it's a well known fact that AMOLEDs have this screen burnout problem. No need to contest that fact just because it doesn't happen to your 2 years old gs2. and these problems even occur less than 1 year of usage, no need to talk about 5 years.

Samsung Galaxy S4 compatible with Qi wireless charging
http://phandroid.com/2013/03/18/samsung-galaxy-s4-qi/

Ahead of Samsung’s official Galaxy S4 unveiling in New York City last week, rumors said the device would be coming with wireless charging capabilities. Samsung didn’t touch on that much at the time of its announcement, but Qi took it upon itself to inform the world that its wireless charging technology was supported in the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Said functionality won’t be included in the box, unfortunately, but there will be compatible back plates users can buy in order to add it. There are no pricing details just yet, but we’ll be looking to get those details for you in due time.

With Qi, users can choose between a myriad of different Qi-enabled charging pads from a a wide variety of manufacturers. It’ll be up to you to decide which specific combination you go with, and that’s the way it should be. We like it, and there’s no reason for you not to either. Read on for full press details.

I am not planning to get this phone... but if I get, I will go for snapdragon since Exynos no support on LTE (base on the given information if was correct). I know Malaysia still on testing period, but it may come soon, end of year or next year?

good choice haha

WHAT ‘CHEAP BUILD?’ GALAXY S 4 COMPONENTS ESTIMATED TO COST MORE THAN IPHONE 5
http://bgr.com/2013/03/19/samsung-galaxy-s...dollars-386038/

Just because something is built with plastic doesn’t necessarily make it cheap to build. The researchers at IHS on Tuesday released their bill of materials (BOM) estimate for the Galaxy S 4 and found that the HSPA+ version has a BOM of $236 while the LTE version has a BOM of $233. When factoring in an $8.50 cost of labor per device, IHS estimates that the HSPA+ Galaxy S 4 costs around $244 to build while the LTE version costs $241 to build. The reason that the LTE version is cheaper, says IHS, is that it uses a less costly processor than the HSPA+ version. As Business Insider’s Steve Kovach notes, IHS’s Galaxy S 4 manufacturing cost estimate is significantly higher than the $207 manufacturing cost estimate the firm had for Apple’s (AAPL) 16GB iPhone 5.

well, the article only said the total cost to build S4 is higher than ip5. it does not say the plastic is costlier than the aluminium in ip5. the reason of higher total cost for s4 might be due to other component, ie, 8 core processor, 2gb ram, amoled screen (as far as i know, amoled screen is the most expensive one),...

You also missed the point of the article then. Let me quote you the first sentence of that article, "Just because something is built with plastic doesn’t necessarily make it cheap to build"

Wouldn't that be basic logic that plastic is of course cheaper than aluminium?
What the article is truly referring to/trying to say is that, the perception of people out there is that just because the S4 uses plastic so it's a cheap phone and must have cheap components. And so, why is it priced at a premium price range that is as expensive as the iPhone 5? Well, you have the answer now.
