I don't have any problem with the design. I'm pleased they at least eliminated the unbalanced placement of the home button on the S3, although it would be much better if they did all capacitive buttons in the same arrangement as the One X. What is a real shame though, is that Samsung aren't plumping for better materials. This would look great if they did it in Lumia-class polycarbonate.
Pretty sure that the S3 is made from polycarbonate.
I guess the issue is with the fact that the competition is using much superior build quality and materials. The galaxy series of phones are fine, light and the specs are second to none. I guess the design is just there, inoffensive, but nothing special.
I take it back, it looks alright.
Same thing applies to Iphone...see you in court i guess.
Does it look bigger to anyone else?
It should be considering the screen is 5 inches.
Kind of disappointed in the look considering it looks like some in between model between the S3 and the Note 2.
Uggggghhh. I don't want a phone th big. I may just say fuck it and get an iPhone. Nothing decent is coming out for Verizon. How's the dna? Does anyone here have it?
The DNA is 5 inches too...
I've never understood it either as all these phones are just rectangles with a display and a vast majority of them will be hidden underneath a protective casing anyways

Yeah. Definitely not the S4. Just a fan render most likely..

Samsung will never use a stock rim
Wish they had gone with dragontrail glass.

You got that right.
Never seen so many customers come in with broken screens after such light drops. Some even in Otter Box cases. 2>1 on the iPhone, that's for sure.
I was never going to get the S4, as the screen is too big for my liking, but its disappointing to see they're keeping with the same cheap plastic look.
It's going to look funny at work with an S3, S4 and Note II all next to each other. Customers are going to be confused as fuck lol.
Yeah whatever Nokia and HTC use looks a million times better though.
Polycarbonate is just a fancy word for plastic. Nokia just uses better, sturdier plastic than Samsung which uses the shittiest in the business.

Oh come on. Just look at that mockup for a second before posting it. Nevermind the fact that the image is a banner for a fanpage, not an official Samsung account....
A little common sense goes a long ways.
Thanks for pointing that out. At first, I thought it's not very assuring when the highest end Android phone still lags.
God DAMMIT. Didn't look that big in the video I saw. Guy probably had big hands.

I actually made fun of one of my friends. This image was posted along with "LIKE AND SHARE TO WIN A FREE GALAXY S4!" and my friend shared it. I felt bad that I actually had to explain that it was a render and that the SIV hasn't been announced. Not to mention the page that created the "contest" had like 3 total posts.
I don't know anything about Android phones...so this sense wouldn't be common to me.
I also grabbed the shot from a friend who shared the post.

it's really not that much bigger. S3 is 4.8 inches and the S4 is 4.99 inches.
Anyway the S4 confirmed to use 2600mah battery. Best news so far.

That's definitely not the S IV, but if it looks like that, I guess I'd be alright. I'd prefer an S II look, though.
Going by the teaser image Samsung put out, the S IV will definitely look like the S III. At least the top half will anyways.

unless you're under the assumption that the teaser is misinformation, which is definitely a possibility.

I'd buy this, even with TouchWiz.
No. Physical buttons are best buttons.

Doesn't it look a little too thin?

It looks like a Lumia and a Nexus 7 had a baby.
(Fake, obviously.)

has calmed down a bit.
The phone in the leaked video is ugly. Samsung is a top tier, if not THE, top tier OEM in terms of sales, they need to step their fricking game up. Stop being so cheap with materials for their flagships.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure they chose plastic to keep the phone light despite the size.

yeah, because Samsung wants their phones compared to homebuilding products.
why should they use materials that are terrible for phones? looks? pride? blog points for 'premium materials'?
no.
they are building phones here, and i sincerely hope that they continue to use the right stuff for the job.

Black levels are one single component of picture quality. The most important being colour reproduction which OLED is absolutely abysmal at.
And LCD don't have "choppy motion" but they do have slower pixel response than an OLED, something which is important in competitive FPS games, much less important on a cellphone.(so long as the screen isn't of such poor quality that smearing occurs)

quad.. octa.. same thing really, depends on marketing.
and then there's stuff like the removable battery, replaceable covers, gotta have those flip covers and qi charging covers and extended battery covers... their accessory game is a factor too!
