Not Xperia Z? 

samsung did a good job for hiding the leaks of its new phone, and make it so mythical that everyone is waiting for it last night...

wake up 7am to catch the live stream.. and rumors has it.. damn sien... dual camera is something new.. but meh..

I finished my office work at 430am and slept for 2 1/2 hours to get AMAZED.. but what i get is MEH...

How can they steal when the One was just recently announced? Also , Samsung was one of the first to bring back IR blaster back into devices like tablets and now in the S4.

i remembered when s3 announced, ppl also blashed and say wont buy etc.. but then, when the heat came, ppl seems start to forget the design and follow the trend to get it.. which make the s3 out of stock when first batch reach all in short time..  and now, i don even hear ppl say note 2 or s3 ugly .. my office now got few s3 and few note 2 users even.. i kinda like s4, design wise it is acceptable to me looking at the front..back side not so important as i am using cover.. i am looking forward to its feature as this is much more important for me.. 

Well , its a tread started for "a" company where u put 2 models from the same generation of phone together , u cant tell a different at all except the slit at the side for it's 4th gen and 3rd gen wise , i cant tell which is newer . Yet nobody complains and look forward to it . So if the company can pull it off ,  y not others give it a try . Be thankful SGS4 is not the exact design of SGS3 but just bigger in size and maybe a note2 home button style .

I will agree with you that S4 sales will eventually triumph HOne, as Samsung marketing is no doubt far more greater than HTC and it creates a trend in the consumer buying pattern thus it the huge demand.

What I've observed is that many typical consumer all are hype about the BIG S4 where they have not even heard of HOne now don't even mention about M7 prior to the launch.

agree with u that htc one has a very good built but a bit bb z10 alike stype or ip5 combined designed..  i like the front speaker design.. but after using note 2, really feel s3 a bit small..what to say  htc one..  but i will give a try for one and s4 both this round.. then keep one which is best suit me.. sony? first impression is good..but then the more i see, the more i feel it is not as pretty especially when finger magnet attached on it's body due to the grass surface, it look so dirty..  so i give up on it anyway, different ppl have their different view and need.. 

Sad of this...though have any new surprise how know like iphone 4 upgrade to iphone 4`s

In terms of marketing... it used to be Apple that is leading the market.. but because of the lack of innovation they are losing the market share to s3 and note 2.. but still they still eat up quite a portion of the pie (purely because of their excellent marketing).

HTC has always been quite dull in their marketing preposition and less proactive in creating trend.
