Wired - Did you see Samsung’s theater of the absurd yesterday? No? Good for you. It unleashed a pale imitation of a Broadway show to roll out its amazing new flagship, the Galaxy S4. There’s a reason Samsung felt the need to put on one hell of a show for one hell of a phone — because, much like the Apple iPhone5, the S4 is in just about every way delightful but ultimately not that intriguing.

Like the articles states, any flagship phone is going to be amazing, but we've become spoiled by what we're able to do with our phones these days. Amazing just doesn't cut it these days.
Does anyone even remember what cell phones looked like 10 years ago? Holy crap, not only did they have actual digital camera's, built in, but some could store as many as 20 images!

I had a Galaxy S on launch and then when I went to the S3 I was like....wow. Ridiculously faster.
they have no reason to. thats the problem. people with an S2 would want an S3 coz it has almost double the hardware. but people who have the s3 to s4 the jump isnt that big.
this seems unnecessary to say the least. but i guess with flagship phones, there isn't a need to upgrade every year. most flagship models are useful for a good 3-4 years. im thinking of the nokia N70, SE P900, HTC Desire, SGS2 etc.
but im still rocking an HTC Desire Z. im due for an upgrade, im thinking of the Sony Xperia Z though the built in battery is a put off. with it being Lithium one, after a couple years, it will be a paper weight.
I have a Galaxy s2, S4 is sweet imo.
but like i was saying, for you, the S4 is an upgrade. almost double of what you currently have. people with the S3 might as well wait till the S5 comes out.
another thing is here is South Africa, samsung is like the most dominant android brand. the leading brand is blackberry <believe it or not>. HTC is almost a no show along with sony and Nokia. so i guess the exclusivity of owning a quality samsung handset is gone. thats why i want something different. but yeah, tough decisions.
