Just read the s4 thread.....so it's just faster n bigger than s3 with sw tweaks. I don't expect more than that so I'm not disappointed but for all those who expect thenextsupersexydesign were.

Note 2 ftw over everything else. All we need is an upgrade to 1080p and another half inch to pwn the next 3 generations of phones.

Already predicted. Nothing much Samsung can innovate or invent... not like Apple... hahaha

Like i kept saying, wtf do u expect for a technology product? Faster,bigger,maybe better.....design doesn't really matter except when it gets too weird ass like that sharkfin shaped Ericsson or the lipstick shaped Nokia that it impacts its usability. Crapple is the one largely responsible for making the masses expect tech to look sexy.
Design nice or not is very subjective lor... Apple and Samsung is simple and "elegance".... I bet note 3 will have the same design lolx... Since S4 share the same look as note 2 but hope note 3 got no home and capacitive screen button... u know.. sometime when using s-pen want to tap "back" or "menu" button,... have to use finger

i wonder why is everyone complaining that GS4 and GS3 looks similar
when apple released 3G and 3GS, 4 and 4S it is even more similar, heck even down to the mm. that is even worse and lazy engineering. they just upped the proc and sometimes not even the memory, what crazy stuff is that
S4 let's you pause your movie without you knowing it. S4 has NFC and wireless charging for god's sake. S4 has a 441 ppi screen and the first non-nexus phone shipping with 4.2.2 (heck, even some nexus 4 phones is shipping wiht 4.2.1!)
blogs are saying that they are adding a bunch of useless features. well, siri is useless, so is facetime, so is 95% of the apps on both app stores! S4 has a pedometer built in for god's sake, that's like ipod nano in the iphone, which apple will call the invention fit for god himself/herself. what a load of crap.
samsung, from a 19% market share 2011, topped 30+% 2012 thanks to the success of the wildly successful S3. now they upped every single crap on that phone! its thinner, lighter, better FULL FREAKING HD screen (that's more than my TV), LTE, octa core, if this were an apple, those dumb apple-esq blogs (gizmodo / engadget) will be dripping saliva out of their nostrils and then line up since last month to buy the phone available next month.
this is absurd. S4 is revolutionary and rightly so. in what sense does any freaking iphone beat this? heck, htc one might be "way faster" as noted by engadget's blog but htc usually launches 1 phone then leave it to die without upgrades / accessories / terrible marketing / aluminium dents when u drop-em. in s4, if you crack the rear case, u go lyn and buy one for RM80
ok rant over. whoever says otherwise will never get to see a picture of my hot boss
additional rant which will make those apple fans say its useless but secretly want them. like how girls say they hate me but secretly want me so badly (during my uni years, not now) :
S Translator: translates nine different languages in real-time – both text to speech andspeech to text.
S Voice Drive: Control your phone with your voice while in the car – it can even read SMS messages and the like back to you.
S Travel
S Health: With accompanying accessories – S Band, Body Scale, and Heart Rate Monitor – the GS4 will help you get healthy. Given that you actually use the stuff, of course.
Air Call accept: simply wave your hand over the screen to answer a call. Neato.
Group Play: not as dirty as it sounds, this lets users share music, photos, documents, and games with devices around without the need for Wi-Fi or even a cellular AP. It's magic.
Share Music: Plays the same song on multiple devices in real-time.

Last time Sammy fanboy laugh ifans.. .ip5 is just the same old design.. .just extend longer haha... now they can "laugh back" already la... design is really subjective la... many of em like nicer design but lousy specs haha... just tell them lor like a hot and sexy lady (out) but her heart very cruel, brutal, and garang (specs).. u want ar? hahaha
If notice closely, the s4 screen corner is slightly curve not a sharp corner like on s3 or note 2...somemore they bring back the infrared port ... and most of those features pack in S4 is just a software tweak in 4.2.2... dunno when they release for Note 2... and what is S-School?

The thing is, people are disappointed with S4. BUT no one is comparing with iphone, i mean who cares about them.
But seriously S4 itself is disappointing in terms of new things compared to previous phone releases from Samsung. S2 was superb. Note series was a different class of its own. S3 was not so good (didn't even make me look twice). S4 is just another letdown.
Can i still see a pic of your hot boss?

Disappointing? then should blame Samsung... It was Samsung itself done lot of works to get the hype so we of course expect something surprise from S4... who knows it turns out like that... mini note 2 with better specs
