So the day after Samsung Unpacked event, where they presented the Samsung Galaxy S4, are you satisfied with what you saw? Will you buy it?
Personally I don't think it was so exciting, we have already seen everything. I have made videos about it long before it was official. I had even posted hands-on video and leaked images of the real deal before it was official. Everything matched. So no real news.
But don't get me wrong, it's a great phone, but it's more like an "S" update of the iPhone. Like the iPhone 4S or the coming iPhone 5S. Same design but with updated specs.
Maybe Samsung should have called it the Galaxy S3 S? :)
Design wise it looks like the Galaxy S III but with some small changes. By making the bezel thinner and the phone a bit taller, they could update it with a 5-inch display in almsot the same size as the Galaxy S3.
It will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in the US and a Exynos 5 Octa processor in Europe. Exactly as I already has said.
One cool thing is that you can record video with both the fron facing and back camera at the same time. SO for example, you can record yourself with the front facing camera while recording what you see with the main camera. Pretty useful. Especially for me that vlogs much :)
I will probably not buy it, but I am sure it will be the most popular phone in 2013. The best selling phone.
