the problem is that no one else but customers let samsung to do their business that way.
Previous galaxy sold in millions...even though it was a plastic nightmare and paled into insignificance everytime when it was compared with the competition.
You fanboys laught at Nokia that tey're using N9 design (which is amazingly simple, gorgeus, etc, )but maybe you should take a look at samsung's inferior design.

HTC One will steal some market share this year with the premium materials

Trusting Eldar is like trusting your government! He was wrong for S3 and same rubish.
He didnt said even one proof of this and we already know from past leaks that
S4 will use plastic :)))

But plastic is stronger than fragile glass. Even tempered glass is stronger than fragile glass

Well looks like noone will but SIV this year. People want premium looking Android devices and not cheap plastic. I bought an Xperia Z 2 days ago and the design is stunning. It is the best smartphone that I have owned. It is extremely fast as well and the sound quality it produces on headphones is exceptional. I recorded a first impressions video so if you want, take a look on youtube /watch?v=P32rdsmgNqU

People will buy it matter what its made of. It has the goods that techies and consumers look for. And also size doesn't matter anymore folks. Get that through your thick skull. Sammy executed the galaxy right in every way. They deserve to win. Though in some part was in the expense of copying some works from Apple. Kind of sad but hey it worked out. As for HTC, there done and gone. The One has flown away in the wind. Nice looking phone, poor execution, bad camera. HTC, always trying to beat Samsung and others the punch but always missing.

Where is the innovation?Plastic,octo core which drain more battery but has the same power as a dual core?13 mpx camera from Sony?
The costumers are bored now.

Because of the patent attempts people make fun of rounded corners but they make a huge difference to the initial perception of the phone's size (to me anyway). The Xperia Z is virtually the same size as an S3 but with the S3's rounded corners it looks smaller. If the S4 has a similar sized screen to the Z with a small bezel but with round corners it could attract a lot of people who wouldn't consider the Z as it's too big just because it seems smaller.

Premium = outer + inner.

It won't be premium without either one.

Nor matter using what outer material, even plastic, as long pick the solid highest quality with top notch design still archives premium look. (Inner Samsung never had issue).

Now just wait and see, please out of something premium, this was main key now.

Specs do matter but if the phone is made of low quality plastic and priced at $600, it hurts.,,
