samsung talk about everything under the moon about S4 except the price, i guess it will take a month to find out the real cost. I bet there will be hundreds of people lining up in front of paragon to buy samsung phone on the first day. Again.

Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is not obviously that different from the S3 – at first sight you might even think they were the same. But using the new device, which will launch in the UK in April, makes it clear that this is the first of a new generation of smartphones.
It’s not just that it’s got 4G, NFC and all the features which are now ‘table stakes’ for phone manufacturers. Or that it packs in a far larger screen into a package that’s actually slightly smaller than its predecessor.
What the S4 offers is a comprehensive package of features, starting with a remarkable screen offering far more pixels than the human eye can perceive. The addition of Air View, which allows users to interact with the touchscreen without actually making contact, offers more information instantly; waving your hand in front of the screen to browse forward or backwards makes the phone suddenly seem like a natural thing to use in the kitchen while cooking or when your hands are full at your desk. It’s not a revolution but it’s certainly an improvement. Hovering a finger above the screen means you can choose articles from each category of the special version of Flipboard, for instance, and never waste time with the ones that don’t interest you.
Add in to that a feeling that the S4 is somehow slightly more solidly built, and fractionally less rounded in its corners, and this seems to be a device that offers the iterative innovation that Samsung needs to capitalise on its increasingly dominant position.
The eye-tracking features, called Smart Scroll, surprised me most because they actually work: look away from the screen while a video is playing and the playback pauses almost instantly. It may not be perfect but it is certainly an improvement. Now I’ve seen it I wouldn’t want to view YouTube without it.
And that’s what makes the S4 so compelling: S Health will encourage me to walk up more stairs thanks to its pedometer, and challenge devices such as the Fuelband and the Fitbug. It might even encourage me to integrate it with Samsung scales. The IR integration means it will be ideal as a TV remote; built-in translation builds on features already offered by Google.
The camera, at 13MP, is impressive but not technically better than several rivals; its gimics such as Eraser, which remove moving objects with ease, and the features to make controls easier, are all neat touches, as is the ability to create GIFs.
But what makes the S4 seem to me, with limited contact, the best Android phone on the market is the feeling of solidity, the fact that a 2,600m Ah battery should be plenty for a day, the integration of most of Swiftkey’s excellent features – and the fact that it’s got everything Samsung could throw at it but formed, for the first time into a largely coherent whole.
The combination is not a revolution after the S3 – but it’s a compelling evolution.

At least provide the link. And quote the text in full.
You are certainly not capable of that level of competency in English.
Here's an interesting take on the release. There have been rumours of friction between Samsung & Google. Samsung may be trying to distance themselves from Android, and emphasis the "SAMSUNG" side of the brand.
If a rift develops between Google & Samsung it will be trouble for the android world.

Samsung head getting big? Prior to Andriod...dey hav de worst ui among all mobile phone...dey ditch Andriod...dey will die...
Don't be too sure. Tizen can run Android apps too. They will attack the lower price points, then move upwards to higher price points.
Moving away from Android also prevents patent trolling from Microsoft. Did you know that every Android phone sold makes Microsoft a little richer?

CE-Oh no he didn't!: HTC's CMO Ben Ho says the Galaxy S 4 is just 'more of the same' Mobile

CEOh no he didn't! HTC's CMO
First it was Apple, then LG, and now we have HTC also trolling Samsung's Galaxy S 4 launch in New York. Before the doors opened at Radio City Music Hall, the Taiwanese company kindly gave out hot cocoa and snacks while showing off the One to folks lined up in the cold outside. This was followed by HTC's complementary entertainment during Samsung's event with a series of surprisingly relentless tweets -- one of which even bore the hash tag "#theNextBigFlop" to mock Samsung's "The Next Big Thing" slogan. Ouch.
To wrap up the day, HTC's fresh CMO Ben Ho got in touch to say that the again-plastic Galaxy S 4 is just "more of the same," and that his company's "all-aluminum unibody HTC One" with "original cutting-edge technology, mouth-watering design and a premium feel" is really what people are after. Here's his full statement:
"With a continuation of a plastic body, and a larger screen being the most obvious physical change, Samsung's new Galaxy pales in comparison to the all-aluminum unibody HTC One.
"This is more of the same. HTC remains the best option for those people looking for the best technology wrapped in premium design. Our customers want something different from the mainstream, who appear to be the target for the Galaxy.
"Our customers want original cutting-edge technology, mouth-watering design and a premium feel from their mobiles, which is why we created the HTC One."
Looks like "quietly brilliant" is no more for HTC then?
PLASTICS!! YUCK!!!
