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.
The Samsung settlement is for just under $14 million dollars, but only $2.8 million is actually going to consumers.
The Galaxy S4, in its day, was a pretty capable smartphone. However, with its fourth birthday fast approaching, its update period has long since passed.
It was everything we ever wanted – a high-end smartphone from one of the world’s biggest Android OEMs, without the crapware known as the younger version of TouchWiz. At Google I/O in 2013, Google announced the first two models in the Google Play Edition lineup of devices, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition.
After anticipating phone over the months, sadly i agree with this.
Well, will be focussing on Note 3 instead.
Why would you want people to stop you on the street and ask about your phone?
Happy with my S3. Like to skip a generation so that when I get a new phone it is more of a leap and a WOW factor.
I had a Galaxy S on launch and then when I went to the S3 I was like....wow. Ridiculously faster.
I'm not really sure what they wanted? A phone that could teleport us to space?
