5. If you hover your finger over a text or email, it will show you a preview of the message.

This is the most useful one to me. Eating while getting a text or call (it is my understanding that you can hover to answer/dismiss a call as well) can be problematic to me.....this feature would be great.


And whoever said this phone feels cheap is a damn lie. It def feels like a premium device in your hands. Held one for the first time yesterday, I was impressed with how it felt in hand.

My girls bro got the phone and on the initial use of some of the features, you can tell alot of it was gimmicks

what was funny is he was trying to get the page to scroll down with his eyes shyt and it looked like he was listening to a 90s boom bap beat the way his head was bobbin


cool to demo to people but practicality of alot of it is moot, the camera features tho are piff

we all know the phone is nice

:dead:

Funny enough but honestly breh... my 4s seems to be the sweet spot for me...

I don't like big ass phones or 'phablets' and well.. the 4S already does enough.... not into stuff like having my eyes determine the screen movements and stuff like that.... once IOS 7 drops and I load that on the 4S, I might be good for another two years....even the 5 was not enough for me....

I mean... sure something might drop but it's software would need more then gimmick features.... and "oh it's cute" or "looks hot" does not cut it anymore for a phone.

And damn brand loyalty..... if something does come out....cool...but the S4 hell no.... that is not it.....by a loooooooong mile

And whoever said this phone feels cheap is a damn lie. .

I carried my iPhone 4 out of the case for about 3 months before I got the Galaxy S3. The first thing I though about when I got the S3 was how much better the iPhone felt in hand. I wouldn't say Samsung devices feel cheap but you can tell that Apple puts more effort into that part of the experience.

I own an iphone 5 and a GS4, that gesture shyt works half the time at BEST. Voice shyt too.

The eye tracking will pause a video accurately most times but will not scroll correctly, and NEVER works if you're wearing glasses. S voice is functional but very very far behind siri at this point. Screen is nice tho, and runs smoother than any android before it. Soo much bloatware too, played with it for a couple weeks then went back to the iPhone. My wife is using it now.

My brother turned off damn near every feature after a few days. Said that after the initial wow factor they started to get annoying :russ:

No lie...most of them features are more annoying than useful. The scrolling with eyes/wave of hand gets tiring compared to just flicking the damn screen. Then the preview email by hovering gets annoying as well when you are inadvertently hovering your finger over the screen

The Galaxy S4 is serious! I f*cked with it the other day and there's really no phone on the market f*ckin with it besides maybe the Note 2, but a lot of that is the size. The iPhone is obviously a big seller because it's a trendy phone and truthfully, some people like small phones and dont care for a bigger screen (:smugdraper:). Even the Galaxy S3 (which is what I have) kills the iPhone 5 anyway, so imagine a phone that much better than the Galaxy S3.

Besides wanting to join the crowd, for the money...you're clearly getting a better phone with either the S3 or S4.

@Android peasants:

It is another year, another 4 cores are added. Still iPhones are the best.

SG4 - abomination of a phone, ugly design inside and outside, cheap materials, wack ass lagging skin, useless gimmicky features for teenagers that don't even work. Horrible.

HTC One - no physical home button, as a matter of fact, even capacitive home button is not at the center. :why: On/off button is at the top left side. :mindblown: That alone is enough reason not to buy it, cause even the beginning of user experience sucks.

And finally, both these phones have Android inside (you know what it means), with its wack ass app store filled with chinese bootleg apps.

It is a long way for android peasant till they reach state-of-the-art level of applications which Apple has, the core of any smartphone. :ohlawd:

See you next year, peasants. :salute:
