Those who don't like samsung will always complain about its 'plastic'
Personally I don't find anything wrong or poorer about it. Yes it does not look so high class but that is an unimportant issue for me
Buying a phone with main consideration of looks will never be in my list
And though is plastic it's build quality is good
Coming from a user who had used most latest smartphone from apple htc n sony

It does not
I have used it in S3 n Note2
Don't simply assume it waste battery without even testing it

Looks like it will still be plastic based

I agree the top one is really a nice design

Don't understand why some of you guys so concerned about the design. It is not like you want to show it off each time. To me the phone functions/features and reliability is more important. There are comments that S3 is ugly ( or fugly ?? often exhorted by that KuLi chap ) - I find it perfectly nice. So even if S4 is similar design cues as S3, I still think is acceptable
These Samsung chaps are not dumb. I am pretty sure they have input in many hours behind their design decisions and as long as they meet the masses , I don't think they are concerned with those minority who wants a classier look. Basing on several blogs I have read, it will still be plastic and personally I find nothing wrong or poor about Samsung plastic quality ( having used S, S2, S3, Note and Note 2)

Than you should seriously consider Google Nexus series

What is that - Note 3 ??

The S4 looks like following iphone strategy - minimalistic changes to design and keeping its signature designs of the S3/Note/Note2 with it

All these case manufactures just want to jump into the wagon to get noticed
I don't believe any of such stuffs

Why launching in USA

Post#377 pics doesn't look too bad to me.
The signature cues of s3/note is obvious

Note 3 do interest me more especially with the reported larger display of 5.9 inch !!!

Useless comments without substantiation
And you think you are smarter than Samsung engineers calling it nonsense
Stop posting such kid comments

JK Shim BIG opening words :Before you hear about the product itself, I would like to emphasize one thing: we are committed to innovation."

Hope his innovation does not dissapoint

Perfect, very smooth . I am on P1 network

Android Central handson. My comments : Designwise - nothing amazing/exceptional - it still carries on S3/Note design signature
It is in its software that is of interest. Again the additional software will not appeal to many people. But some are indeed refreshing new. Such people will say is unnecessary/bloatware. Those who use it will say is amazing.

Depending on region :
Processor: 1.9GHz quad-core processor / 1.6GHz octa-core processor
As rumor earlier, I think here in Asia we should expect the 1.6GHz Exynos Octa

Presentation was 99% on its software and just passing mention on its design/hardware specs

Is LTE enabled
No indication of price n availability here

Samsung just want to continue with their signature designs of s3/note. Take away the logo n you know is Samsung. Potential buyers expecting a drastic change will be dissapointed. A strategy adopted by many manufacturers. Is a matter of whether you like it or not. Time will only tell whether such a strategy will still work for Samsung. They are flithy rich n can just easily drop n upgrade to newer model within months .S4 is in its additional software n again its usefulness depends on user.

Definitely will not be early bird like what I did for s2,s3,note,note2 got all on day one
Enough of Samsung for time being. Dissapointed with Sony n HTC previously , now resume learning to love it again
I will probably try it after available say 3 months. Than probably bored with my xperia z already
