honestly, I love them. definitely wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.

[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
I think Samsung is testing to see if ppl will like these sizes. I wouldn't mind the 5.8 inch but it has a QHD display!!!! The 6.3 inch is too much for me though, but I'm sure someone out there would love it.

[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Anyone know why AT&T is not offering the 32 GB model?
[Galaxy S 4 General] gleahr:
Do we know for certain if the Exynos I9500 will support LTE or not? I really want the octa-core, but also want the LTE support.. Live in Holland and are only getting the I9505. Have a friend taking a trip to India and am contemplating having him pick me up the I9500 version, but wanted it to receive 4g. I've searched here and there, but have read differing stories. If it doesn't, will a custom ROM allow it to connect to LTE like the Nexus 4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Well, I just got a nice little shocker from AT&T!

Was talking with a senior-level staff member who assisted me when I upgraded to the S III as I had a grandfathered data plan & low-level staffers wouldn't honor it back then.

I reached out to this person to be proactive prior to pre-ordering an S4. I was informed that AT&T is phasing out all unlimited data plans including grandfathered ones like mine!

Obviously I'm now quite ticked! Does anyone know of other 'reputable' U.S. carriers who are still offering unlimited data plans?

For me, it boils down to principles as I use Wi-Fi for ~95% of all data-driven functions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gleahr:
I'm not sure your best bet on finding unlimited (+unthrottled), but found this link from CNET with differing companies and unlimited plan info..

news.cnet.com/8300-5_3-0.html?keyword=unlimited+data ( throw a h t t p : // in front... i haven't reached the requisite 10 posts yet)

As for the 32GB and 64GB, I have found no info as to when they will be released, but previous Galaxy releases followed same roll out plan. First 16GB models and then subsequently will roll out the larger models..
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Thanks for the article source. It was helpful.

Do you remember if the S III had both 16 & 32 GB variants? My gut tells me No given that my III is 16 GB, & I would have definitely held out more memory.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gleahr:
I've been living in Holland for a bit and the international version had the options for both 16/32 and even 64 (I think came later, but I never saw one in Holland). If I remember right, the US versions only had 16 or 32, but perhaps only a 16 went to certain carriers..

^wow definitely, and I'm glad I'm going to be a part of those 10 million buys of the first month!
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
+1

I was also looking for the ONE, but i couldnt sleep well with a irreparable battery phone, sick.
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Agreed on "Wow". Unfortunately I won't be one of those 10M because I have no need for a packed phone like this with only a puny internal memory capacity of 16 GB. I learned that the hard way with my S III. My question would be how many of those 10 sales are going to NEW Galaxy S series users?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Actionx1:
I think it's pretty obvious the S4 will smash on the ONE. the real question is how will it do against the next iPhone 5s (6)

it will be interesting to see the day one, week one and month one numbers on both devices in the USA.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
Count me as one. I've never owned a Galaxy S-series phone before, and it's been years since I considered upgrading from my HTC Desire. I did use a Note II that I won in a contest for a couple of months, but I had to sell it when I was allocating to help pay some medical bills. Now I've got stable income with money to spare, and I intend to splurge on the best. I'll also be getting some accessories like a solid TPU, 64GB microSD, and a couple spare batteries (hopefully one being a 7000mAH).

If the phone is as good as the reviews say it is, I would recommend this to anyone else looking to buy into the latest flagship.
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
If Apple is smart, & they are, they'll rush their next model out with 16, 32, & 64 GB variants as they always have. Samsung will be chasing then. IMO, Samsung Marketing blew this release.

I've just put it out on Twitter re where's the 32?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Actionx1:
The only thing iPhone has going for it is the rumored iOS 7 refresh.
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
I can't stand Apple products myself. Just trying to compare marketing launch approaches.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sofyanator:
Yeah but people(yes apple fan-boy are people) are beginning to become visibly frustrated with Apples bland and never changing phone structure and software. As a teen, i can see Apple will continue to hold its grasp on the teen market. Gimmicks like iMessage, Factime, Emojis, and first serve app release create a divide of popularity almost. If you want to fit in and be cool like the rest of your friends, you buy an iphone. So you can use those gimmicks. But i can defiantly see many business level or really any adult making the switch this year if not the next.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Why we are talking about iPhones?

Who likes IOS buy an IPhone who likes Android buy a droid device.

Even IPhone was mad with gold i wouldnt buy any, at moment i hate IOS closed system, and i hope Android doesnt go someday in that direction.
[Galaxy S 4 General] PLUG313:
god I hate the word ''gimmick''. anything can be considered a gimmick really depending on how you look at it.

what annoys me about Apple fan boys is how blind they can be when choosing their gadgets, just today I talked to this guy who was telling me about how excited he was about buying a time capsule and an airport extreme, and I was like ''why are you buying the airport if it does the same as the capsule?'' in the end he didn't even know the time capsule has a router too, all he could say was ''YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND''. annoying.

and he thinks that just because it's Apple, it's premium and the best ever, and that's just not right. there's undeniably better things out there and for a much lower price (e.g. iPad 4 vs Nexus 10). I would understand if he really liked some apps from iOS or anything like that, but he just did not have ANY valid arguments. just that it's Apple, it's gold.

sorry I just had to get that off my chest.

now, back on topic: I'm getting my S4 (i9505) in the end of this month or begging of the next. in my country (Portugal) it will come out on the 27th, with a price of about 1050 american dollars for the unlocked version and 850 carrier locked (very expensive, right? >_> ), I'm getting the carrier locked version. very excited anyway :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
I know what your saying, I know a lot of Apple fanboys who wont look passed Apple but hey its there money. I use an iMac, Apple TV and a iPad 4 but Android on my phone currently. I use a iMac because I hate Windows, its horrible. Apple TV for streaming and all my iTunes stuff and iPad because Android sucks on tablets for me, but each to their own.

Gimmick can be anything like you said. While I do find the smart gestures a gimmick, i dont with all the other stuff. They will be useful and I will use them.
[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Found out two items from DMs with AT&T:

1. The link posted directing users to the 32 GB variant was a mistake & the official line is that the 32 GB variant is "coming soon".

2. As of this time you will be allowed to keep the unlimited data plan.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Razzzzer:
And a multitude of dedicated users. The fact is there are quite a few people out there that just want a new iPhone... period. Its great when a company can have that kinda cushion. that number is shrinking tho but will continue to keep them going strong for years to come.

i am just glad the android market is out there to give the sector competion and keep inovation moving... lol me some new samsung hardware ;)

[Galaxy S 4 General] randun:
Thanks for posting. I subscribe to their newsletter so had already seen.

The only problem with the review, & others as well, is they quote pricing without mentioning the variant you'll be getting.

For those of us in the know, we all know it will be the 16 GB that's available for pre-order. However, what about those new users who will impulse buy then wonder why after a 32 GB variant (or more?) is released.

Ill be adding my review soon and ill add anyone elses who posts one whether it be good or bad as long as they actually own the device and are not just spamming also id like to list things like device model, firmware version etc so if your posting a review post that also so people who are reading would know exactly where your opinion is coming from and maybe even able to fix a problem u had etc anyways im back and will be updating the thread regularly

if you really believe that, i feel sorry for you.

i was looking forward to the gs4 announcement, hoping that the rumours and leaks were wrong, but they weren't.

what a train wreck of an unveiling aswell... when it was revealed no one even applauded they were so underwhelmed.

I was on the fence between gs4 and htc one, but the one is just so superior overall the decision is incredibly easy after last night

[Galaxy S 4 General] theindievisual:
I agree as well. The reason to write it off is how underwhelming the actual product is.

All the secrecy and buildup to such a bland and cheap design immediately makes me warm up to the XZ and HTC One, who have been forced to make bold moves to capture any attention at all.

The S4 not a bad phone by any means, but I'm getting the same feelings as an Apple product reveal. These companies have all the money in the world for R&D and nothing to lose, and yet we end up with an incremental update that feels less ambitious than when these companies had nothing.

Even S3 reveal last year felt less underwhelming than this. Maybe I just felt that all that money paying for all those S2's and S3's would have gotten something other than plastic in return.​

Re: [INFO]-Samsung's New flagship- Galaxy S4 MEGA INFO/DISCUSSION THREAD

It was fundamentally impossible for Samsung to live up to the hype it's like this

25 year old mountain climber climbs mount Everest for a third time it's not amazing he already climbed the twice b4 what's the big deal

But a 2 year old climbs a large hill and its amazing I mean a two year old just climbed a hill

Bad analogy but my point is Samsung has done this already though what they did was amazing impressing again to the degree they did previously amidst all this expectation is damn near impossible

i dont think anyone would dispute that there is good tech inside.

my big problem is the design - which i understand is a matter of opinion

it (and the s3) both look terrible in my opinion, so bland and completely void of any personality.

don't like how touchwiz looks either (though i didn't like HTC sense before 5 either) - always preferred AOSP.

thing is, most of the "unique" features are buried inside touchwiz.​

Check this video, the elusive Exynos 5410 also has LTE.

[YOUTUBE]bi-drn6NKaI[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
Still not completely convinced waiting to see something concrete from sammy but hopefully that video is spot on.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
It will take time. The 5410 will go into mass production only in Q2. My guess, we won't see any device with Octa within May.
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
Still doesn't say if BOTH have LTE as they just state it's market specific so parts of Europe may miss out (like in the USA) on octa-core completely because of only supporting 3G!
[Galaxy S 4 General] GGXtreme:
Samsung says the Exynos supports LTE 100, but it probably doesn't support North American LTE bands.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Hey @ OP i appreciate this thread, but i would suggest calling it something different, not so similar to the One X or One thread. Let's be a little more original, just a suggestion :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
I saw that on the press release and the infographic and it still looks very vague as it only mentions the download/upload speed.

It's not a bad thing as the qualcomm is a very good chipset and both will be more than likely equally as fast, just confused as to why in this day and age the octa-core "could" be hampered with 3G only when 4G is becoming more and more wide spread.

I opened a poll for users to say which top 3 features they expected most from their next smartphone. This helps understand why devices are favoured over others (which are the factors that count most):

Poll: Top 3 features you are looking for in your next smartphone
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
TaskuMuro here in Finland already got a confirmation that the S4 released here is going to be of the s600 variant. So if your country has the following LTE bands: 1800/2600Mhz odds are that you'll be getting the s600 version. Already cancelled my pre-order. Don't want a minor spec bump over my Nexus 4. Guess well have to wait for the Tegra 4. So disappointed..
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
That is pretty disappointing I think this pretty much confirms it that the Exynos 5410 is stuck on 3G here in the UK as well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
If you check Geizhals as well, you'll see that almost all vendors are listing the i9505 instead of the i9500. Guess this means that the guys in the US are the ones getting the Octa this time around.

EDIT: Meh, guess I'll be ordering from ebay this time around. Weird how disappointed I am, feels like someone just pulled the rug from under my feet. Maybe it's time to stop spending so much time on these forums? :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
Never ordered a phone from ebay before as I am always super cautious of getting scammed however if there is a 1800mhz LTE exynos version I would possibly consider buying one (south korea support this band).

Also from what I can gather in the USA only the qualcomm variant fully supports all LTE bands and the octa-core variant has not being disclosed for what LTE bands it supports but from what you have said it's not 1800/2600 which are the 2 most common ones out there!

Just spotted that the FCC has the international one supports LTE band 5 which ever bands that is??

*EDIT*

LTE band 5 is 850 and from wikipedia very few countries support it.
