Actually if you're really concern abt price drop, get iphone 5 series....price can be maintain at a certain high level for quite some time. Of course if you can tahan 4" screen after using 5". I know I have to squint my eyes a bit when using S4 size, I don't think I can survive with a 4" screen no matter how "high res" and "beautiful" the screen is.
For any android phones esp Samsung coz they release so many phones with same range at short period, price sure drop like a rock every 1 or 2 months until it hit the bottom limit...
That's why while I feel sakit hati since I bought my phone only a month ago at RM2170, if I can wait for Note 3 for 2 months, I need only spend abt RM200+ more for a much greater phone.
However I can't wait longer and I DO KNOW price WILL DROP when they launch NOTE 3, so its expected. What I have not expect is the pricing remain at only RM2399 for such great spec increased when they had launch S4 LTE with RM2499....so much higher than Note 3 launch price....expect to be launch at RM2499 at the least.
Anyway the size of S4 and weight does matter as I carry my phone in my pants pocket most of time. The total combined time of me looking at screen is like a couple of hours a day vs the total of time I have to carry my phone around that equal over 12 hours at the least. Carrying convenience over screen time.....I selected the balanced S4 instead for now until the time come when my eyes have to squint hard to read 5"...maybe wait for next year Note 4 kuah...
