in the end i think there wont be any difference to the naked eye...only benchmark is better but in real life usage its omre or less the same.

agree with u..what is the point keep arguing it from the design till the benchmark.. the design is final, cant change anything, take it or leave it.. now the selling unit don even reach the market, really no point start arguing the test result etc...wait till holding the actual unit, play with it, then only know better... i remember when one x just announced, there is so much good comment or feedback from the web, but at last? i fall in lov with one's design ...i will give both the one and s4 a try this round.. but i believe s4 wont disappointed me in term of the software ... in the other hand, i will still keep my mind clear to test the one first due to all the bad experience from the past with htc..

those test is just a guild line ..not really that important till affect the phone's performance badly.. but now wat i read is this faster than slower or why that slow etc etc..

i dont know how to say this. I have a galaxy s3 and i feel that the back cover texture of s4 (white frost) is really nice and i want to have it on my s3...

glass and aluminum are superior, but still i feel that s4 design is not that bad... people are just exaggerating the cheapness of plastic...

glass is just disaster for mobile device.
most mobile devices are made of plastic cos it last long. gameboy & game controllers are made of plastic...cos it's durable.

s4 is it using this as screen?

S4 isn't textured , it is still the same smooth surface not textured at all. The texture design is within the plastic itself.

Samsung announce a few acessories for SGS4

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?

I heard the price is the same with S3 last year..RRP2199 but dont know true or not. If true then you can expect the same with telcos as S3 contract price.last year.

i imagine the floating touch might be very useful for us that suddenly have to handle phone with greasy and dirty hand while working.

no man.
that's phone that easily washable so you can wash your screen+body

float touch more of fancy features that going to suck your battery,
Xperia P and Sola have this,but not much used in daily life,

hmm..i think the S4 is a bit nicer with its quite square design compare to the more curvy S3

haha, im currently using galaxy s advance and been using it with the above condition i said . only have plastic case and no screen protector. still ok
i agree that phone like xperia z is much better because i can just wash it off easily but since i like the samsung software, im looking forward for another samsung phone

LOL. Even got body scale as the accessories. haha

that is what i meant... the pattern of back cover (white of course) is some what giving different feel or look compared to normal plastic finish found with s3... of course this is from looking at the pictures...

quote from http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-hands-on

"The back of the phone's been redesigned a little bit. The speaker's moved to the bottom, and the flash is directly beneath the centered 13-megapixel camera lens. There's sort of a cool holographic design on the battery cover -- yes, the Galaxy S4 still has a removable battery -- that seems to shimmer when caught in the light."

so its a little bit different than normal s3 back cover... but lets wait for s4 to come here and we have a look at that...
