It's cheaper to replace the back cover, battery and sd cards on the Galaxy phones then it is to replace the iphone "premium" crap! Oh btw, the iphone got no sd card. If their memory is dead...the whole phone is wiped out! iphone becomes ifail!

hardcore fruit fan I see...have you lived outside of the apple tree? it's like every iphone is similar or a bit improved...but overall still nothing "NEW" but just the same fruit from the same tree...a lil bigger finally but still ain't good enough.

I'm curious here. For all those bitching about this phone, what did you expect? Laser hologram icons? Stretchable re-sizable display? WIreless charging from satellite? They improved every important feature from the S3. Better battery, display, processor and camera, not to mention a ton of software tweaks. So what if they borrowed the design from the S3? Every other manufacturer does the same thing in the same line of phones. Awesome device with killer benchmarks already. Am I buying one? Nah, waiting on the Note3 for the bigger display and S-Pen. If I wasn't I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

I'm waiting on the Note 3 as well! lol For right now, nothing beats the Note 2! Not even the S4.

It is correct to say comparing Galaxy S4 to Iphone 5 is not fair. Reality is Android and IOS were built for different purposes. Andriod more fitting to tech users while IOS simplifies it for your non tech users. At least that was what Steve Jobs wanted to do. Advantage of Android is the ability to root, get customized roms, receive customized updates that is not tied to or controlled by google. Granted, you can jailbreak a iphone, but non tech user don't generally care about that. Non tech users cares only about friendly user interface. In the case of galaxy sr vs iphone 5, there is no comparsion beside user preference. If you compare the S4 to HTC ome that would be a different case. I personnally would choose S4 over HTC for the fact of the removable battery which is sometimes needed when playing with custom roms. Ultimately, Apple users will like apple products and Andriod users will like Andriod. I personnally do not mind.using either one, but i prefer the ability to customize my phone on android os; so people non techie people cannot just pick up my phone and use it.

Simple and iCON (ic) Phone :)

You're right! Totally agree...but after showing a couple of friends my Galaxy Note 2, they soooo wanted to switch out their iphone. iphone is very simple...and simplicity becomes boring after a while. At first they were criticizing about how big my screen was...but after surfing the web and playing games they looked back at their phone and wonder why it's so freaking small. lol Sooner or later if apple doesn't catch up Andriod will be overpopulating!

Sorry about the mispellings and addition words. As i was typing in a hurry and did not double check myself.

I would pick the Nokia Lumia over these two. Lumias have more innovating phones

iphone Premium built? drop any phone just at the right angle and the display will crack. So on the outside it ain't nothing. It's what's on the inside that counts. So hurry up and think of something "genius" Apple. Aren't yal fruity fans tired of the same "apple" from generation to generation?
