Black seems to be in limited supply Bala. I pre-ordered the Black one from Flipkart but they are saying they can only ship by 7th May :( whereas the White one is in stock. I checked in 2 stores and they had only the White one. :confused:

EDIT: Flipkart called a while earlier and advised that the Black one is now in stock. They have shipped it and I should receive it tomorrow :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] nabilsilva:
can anyone whos already bought the galaxy s4 in india confirm the screen issue? I really need a phone right now coz mine died
[Galaxy S 4 General] rkial:
Played with the S4 today. Black one.

I still dont like the hyperglazed finish and the texture on the back doesnt look great when it catches the light at certain angles.. but the phone is built perfectly.

Also, the silver colored rim might look metallic but once you hold it, you can tell its not. It doesnt feel cold to the touch like the rim on my iphone does.

But there really isnt much to complain about the build quality. Once they decided they wanted a removable back panel, they couldnt have built the phone any better. Its compact, tight fitting and very light. Doesnt feel flimsy at all.

The screen is pretty impressive. I did check for the smearing/ghosting thing and it was there. very noticeable too once you know what to look for.. but its not that big a factor for me.

No lags..

The air gestures in the gallery worked perfectly. the smart stay (the pause video thing) did not.

The speakers werent very loud.

About the camera.. the normal mode worked great.. as did the panorama.. the night mode takes a second to process the image. and the first couple of times I ended up with it being blurred. Not that great if you are talking photos of people. Everyone will have to stay still.

After about 30-40 mins, the phone got a little warm near the top.. nothing more. Not really an issue. But I didnt play any games on it.

Its an impressive phone.. the design isnt as bad as I had expected and the phone itself feels pretty decent to hold. Still not a fan of touchwiz and the hyperglazing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shamps:
Bought mine!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] ayush12345:
Been using for two days now. The screen issue is definitely there but you wont notice if you dont know what to look for.. Played Modern Combat 4 for like 4-5 hrs. The graphics are solid and pretty damn good !!!

One big issue i found out is, the device heats up too quickly and can get pretty hot. I had to leave the device to cool down atleast thrice while playing the game !!

Apart from this, the build isn't bad enough ! But keeping in mind it bears the tag of flagship device, it should have been slightly more luxurious !!!

All in all, definitely a solid built device to stay with till a new flagship pops up !!!

Cheers.!
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
bought s4 black mist :):)

kudos for samsung for all their hard efforts they put into this device.....

1. Screen is gorgeous... i meant it, even for s3 users like me the change is day and night.

2. call quality is way superior to s3.

3. Feels much better in hand than any other sammy device.. its very light and the rim is premium looking.

4. sound is good. havent tested fully though.

5. the black is pitch dark , similar to s2.

Now to the improvements that could have been done

1. the top alignment of the sensors looks a bit weird.

2. the color scheme of touch wiz is still old :(

3. the rim finish dosent looks smooth when seen from some angle

4. and its really a shame for samsung to launch their flagship device with touchwiz redraw issue.(smearing). Gladly its just a software issue. tested it and it seems all the other scrolling menus in different app is fine, just the touchwiz that has the issue as of now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nabilsilva:
thanks bala for clearing up the screen issue. hope its just a touchwiz issue n some firmware update will fix it

i really dont want to get the one :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] vdhawwan:
So you finally got it.. Kudos.. I have noticed another thing that could be added here in the improvements that could be done part:

- The transparent notification bar is only present with Stock Wallpapers. With any custom wallpaper, it goes dark grey and ugly. Sammy could have done something about it.

Though have to admit.. the device is awesome..!!!:D
