Bloomberg: Galaxy S 4 to have Snapdragon in the US, Exynos 5 Octa elsewhere, but eye-scrolling won't make it

yeah the design of S4 is just the same with the S3, same with iphone,
ip4=ip4s=ip5 in design.. boooring!

6. nicholassss posted on 13 Mar 2013, 03:28 1 2

everything ive seen so far seems like a smaller note 2 than a bigger s3.

I know its not that much better haha, but... there could still be a bigger change in the look. namely they could ditch the physical home button already.

inspired by S3 , designed for humans (again)

30. terry_wil posted on 13 Mar 2013, 05:27 0 3

the design is similar but not the same iphone design is the exact same from phone to phone

Have you put an iPhone 4S and a 5 side-by-side? Your optometrist called, and he needs to see you soon.

I sincerely doubt it will look the exact same as the s3. Samsung is not stupid they know android users have too much awareness to buy the same phone over and over again like ifans and they know android users have a vast sea of choice with top handsets from various manufacturers withing the android system who users could change to if not happy.
Let's not forget the multiple "leaks" last year of almost s2 design replicas featuring s3 internals. Everybody was saying Samsung has done an apple an kept the same design. Samsung is not like apple,its not 100% predictable,expect an refreshed design

Personally I still think it will change to a more solid, less rounded look, but the Samsung teased image is in line with the Chiniese leak, and frankly, it's not that bad. Less bezels and more screen gives overall a more futuristic look if you like, while the rounded corners (too rounded for me) make it comfortable to hold Gorilla Glass on front, metal on the side, replacable plastic on the back, not terrible..

Who are you trying to convince? Us or yourself?

24. _Bone_ posted on 13 Mar 2013, 04:21 3 4

Considering that more ppl. bought a Samsung plastic last year than any other material Android last year, it's those crying for glass and aluminum are the ones trying to convince the majority who don't mind.

Your rationalization and attempted elevation of "Android users" is not only counterfactual, it's ludicrous. Of course the "iFans" are the only people dumb enough to buy the same design two years in a row, something that Android fans would NEVER do.

Quick question: How often does Ford change the Mustang, Bugatti the Veyron, Rolex their watches, and Samsung their televisions? Would you KNOW one of those if you saw it this year, even only having seen previous years? of course you would. Change for the sake of change destroys brand image. Samsung keeps radically changing the Galaxy S because they have not landed on a design that has been described all around as pleasing or iconic. They could care less what a few commenters on a website say.

Well said +1
Samsung have no design what makes them excel is there features the specs, which you see when they advertise its all about high end specs, look at Nokia they advertise on midrange a year old specs, via known as for there cameras: connecting people, iPhone is a show, flash being cool and trendy and about apps, BB is about enterprise.™

Fingers crossed and I hope it will not.

Some sources even said that the leaked video and images of S4 are fake. That could be just a S3 like dummy made in China to get hypes just before the original release.

45. Android4u posted on 13 Mar 2013, 09:22 0 0

It could fail big time and samsung fans will swear on eveything its the best device around

13. maccess posted on 13 Mar 2013, 03:52 12 4

i don't care.. specially since you're a nokia fan..

17. Nathan_ingx posted on 13 Mar 2013, 04:08 3 6

So you don't care if what i said is true because i'm a fan of Nokia?
Yes, i'm a fan of Nokia...but i have my limits of being a fan. I just don't expect blindly...and i love whatever is good in technology, not just Nokia.

31. maccess posted on 13 Mar 2013, 05:32 5 3

so you mean the s4 will surely a 100% disappointment?? because of what?? just because it doesn't has eye scrolling feature?? or because it stiil made from "cheap" plastic?? or because its 13mp camera still cant beat your 808 pureview?? waiting for same old reasons that nokia fans always brag about ( built quality & camera off course ).. lol..

Shut up. You've never used a L920 camera. It might not be the BEST but it's better than most smartphone cameras out there. Just please be quiet. How old are you? 15?

I never said fail, let alone 100% fail...and i never compared any Nokia phone to any Samsung device ever...except for the photo comparisons with given images! You're so wrong in trying to figure me.

Nothing can be more disappointing than if somebody only managed to sell 2 million devices in 90 days in an overpopulated country and most importantly ended up throwing a party calling that a success.

18. tech2 posted on 13 Mar 2013, 04:10 4 4

Haters gonna hate ! Logical explanation is something you'll probably not understand but lets see......

Samsung brought some very exceptional features to S3 last year with its S Beam and Smart Stay. Thats probably what people liked and made the phone highest seller on android platform. This year again from hardware point of view they'll promising to deliver power saving Octa core and Pholed display. Also, video pausing and several nifty features on software front.

Everyone like new and innovative features. As an android fan I am just anticipating some cool features it'll bring this year. What makes you conclusively say that 'You're going to get disappointed'.

Instead of lashing out on me just read your comment and you'll realize how idiotic you sound !

27. Nathan_ingx posted on 13 Mar 2013, 04:38 3 2

Yo, i don't hate Samsung...just the hard core fans.
Why didn't you say "green pholed" instead?
That was yesterday's prediction.
Agreed that SIII brought some new features, that's why you expect more this time round. If i'm wrong, good for you...if you're right, still good for you. I'm not worried.

19. _Bone_ posted on 13 Mar 2013, 04:14 0 4

IF SD600 and Adreno 320 overclocked is inferior to the Octa/VX544. And that's a big if.

Wait for the Galaxy Note 3. It will have everything the Galaxy S4 won't have you can bank on that. The Exynos 5 Octa will be inside the Galaxy Note 3 forsure.

43. SleepingOz posted on 13 Mar 2013, 07:17 0 1

Sorry but sony also is "stagnating design wise", so does nokia and apple.
But I agree they should really up the aesthetic of their products.

The difference is that Android fans can be disappointed, whereas Apple or WP fans will continued to insist that their phone is God from the heavens.
