Official Galaxy S IV announcement thread ( GOOG SET APPLE KILLA GANG) LIVE NOW

S4 by a mile. Touchwiz is better in every aspect than that Sense bullshyt and vanilla android for that matter. S Pen software on Note 2 shyts on alot of similar programs on other devices.

Well to be honest I dont like Touchwiz its to cartoony for me. So thats not a plus for me. Most of the S features are gimmicky at best, some are nice additions. What I like about the S4 is the removable battery and to a lesser extent SD card support. But the HTC One is sexy and the build quality is off the charts! Plus I like The new Sense 5 better then Touchwiz.

The US versions will have the Snapdragon 600 chip-set.

I'm not feeling that white background for settings and shyt

The goons at XDA will fix that up if enough people bytch...give you a nice pink background to work with ;)

Both phones are solid. I guess it is a hard decision for me. If the One has locked bootloaders though I am almost assuredly just gonna get the S4.

Lumia 900
HTC 8X (traded for a bit, then decided to give it back)
LG C900
HTC Arrive


I almost got a Lumia 920, but I am glad I didn't pull the trigger. I already got bored with WP. The OS is very closed. I know you like to on here, but I am one of the ones who play with almost all versions of software on here.

I got that Galaxy Nexus flashed to load ubuntu on it soon

Dude, not trying to troll in the least. The 920 shyts on nearly every other phone out there, save the Galaxy Note 2. It literally has a better screen, better components, better camera, and smoother OS than every other phone out there. The main problem with the phone is the limited app selection on the Windows Phone ecosystem. As the ecosystem continues to improve and the Windows Platform will simply become more and more formidable. Android runs like shyt compared to Windows Phone, but due to its large app availability its simply more functional and therefore better at this time.

shyt looks like a Note 2 wit extra gimmicks...gimme a phone with great build quality...nice camera and stable software and im good...and I currently own an S3 since last summer...

I think it is pretty cool. I wonder how well it actually works though. I can't wait to try the S4 and One out. I think the S4 has great software overall although I won't use half of it.

save it for someone else. I am not convinced that the Lumia 920 is that much better than the 8X. I have a problem with the software (which is identical across the board), not the hardware.

Plus to be honest with you I am starting to doubt if you ever used Windows Phone 8 or a Surface because there was a glaring issue with this very forum on that OS. But I will let @Rain tell you, I had to point it out to get it fixed up real quick.

HTC has been unlocking there bootloaders lately. Hopefully it wont have that S-on crap. There will be selling a unlocked bootloader/sim developer phone version for $649 after it launches here.

Yeah smart stay and smart rotation works like shyt for me unfortunately

What would be the use of this tech anyway?

 

[The Frozen One]

no new innovation.

screen size bigger than 50% of guys dikks.

useless tech add-ons that will make the nerds horny like professor frink from the simpsons..

lucky samsung has a great fanbase otherwise this shyt would have been a flop.

now apple can certainly respond with a true innovation.

I eat out a lot. If the touch-less interface works then I could actually use the phone without worrying about getting it greasy or dirty, etc. Not a huge deal but somewhat convenient.

My guess is that all these gimmick features drain the batter like crazy though. I'd probably end up turning most of them off.

Didn't think of this. Especially the answering the phone feature without touching the phone.
