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

[jfkennedy]

Basically this is what Android users have been criticizing Apple for (and before I get attacked, I've never owned an iPhone, been Android forever). Samsung realized that it's easier to make incremental changes each year, and that minimal updates eventually become the best way (in their minds) ... and just like Apple, they're going to use their great marketing skills to convince people of that. Nothing wrong with that, you can't reinvent the phone with each model.

Meanwhile the One is probably the better phone, but they suck at marketing and there's no way they'll have nearly the amount of sales as the IV.

You never know! Things could change. Samsung was in the dog house after the first galaxy s phones aka captivate,fascinate, epic and the vibrant with there gps issues etc. And there 1st android the Behold was trash! HTC was king up until 2 yrs ago. If HTC can do proper marketing they have big chance to cut into Samsung's sales.

This a very fickle market. Remember nobody thought Sony PS brand could be topped. Then the 360 came and crushed the buildings.

I just got the Galaxy Note II and lookin at the specs for the S4 as someone already mentioned it has the same front design but they would enhance the obvious internal templates of the phone.

All in all, does the hardware improvements make a huge difference especially between the Note II vs the S4? To an average user probably not.

First quater meeting.

Samsung exec: "Hey are we on target for an April release?"

Engineer1: "April? sir we havent really added anything, we were hoping for a fall release"

Samsung exec:" Get the fukk out of here. you're fired !!! . Let me speak to whoever is up next"

engineer2: " That would be me sir"

Samsung exec: "Look we need an April release. I dont care if we just introduce a new color!!! I want the S4 out that door!!!!"

engineer2: "Well sir we could throw in a faster CPU. bit more ram and take a couple of features from 3rd party apps and ship it"

Samsung exec:

LoL Samsung is on 4.2.2 but its overlay takes away any advantage 4.2.2 had over 4.1.2. Plus it a very incremental update anyway. Nothing to brag about. Im sure The One will go straight to KLP!

They trick you buy adding extra numbers to each feature, but that doesn't make the phone actually better.

720 to 1080 on a 5 inch screen is a negligible difference at best. And the retina display will still probably outperform the 1080p Samsung display. The gs3 had higher resolution than iPhone yet the iPhone screen still looks better.

Same with the processor. The gs3 supposedly has a faster processed than iphone, yet the iPhone still performs faster. The gs4 has a quadcore processor yet it still lags when you use it.

enhanced software features that absolutely nobody wants to use.

It's like comparing a mustang to a Lamborghini. Sure you can add as much horsepower to the mustang as you want, but it will never be as good as the Lamborghini.
