*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S4 Thread ***

[kona786]

Samsung have gone with the same design philosophy for a couple of years now

Pebble design is less than a year old.

 

[Huggie86]

Ahh true, with the Galaxy S3 and Notes I was getting at. I really do hope I'm impressed Thursday.

 

[Doohickey]

Great, more shiny plastic! Well, I suppose it keeps Samsung's production costs down, they know they're going to sell a bucket load anyway (at least loads more than HTC) so why do anything else?

 

[thepigf@rmer]

Looking forward to seeing what Samsung will offer, I doubt they'll disappoint...(fingers crossed!)

Time to grab an upgrade....Z, One or S4?

 

[uvarvu]

Oh well, maybe the design will be better next year.

Oh well, maybe the design will be better next year.

The "teaser" doesn't have the silver speaker bar... and I think the bezzle is bigger than on the leaked one... hmm!

 

[Robbo]

That's just an S3 in the 'teaser'...

The shape of the corners doesn't match the leak so I have no clue what they're talking about in that article.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

maybe they want to lower expectations so as when S4 is released will make a pleasant surprise

A 3D camera?

That would mean it would need a 3d screen, which would mean no one would buy it....

Samsung Mobile USA just want to get you excited.

 

[Robbo]

Full hands on video (that all the pictures are from):

Have to say it seems pretty legit. The changes and design all seem sensible and logical.

It looks quite nice I guess, but I want the back to match the front (which should be an option). The back of it in the video looks terrible.

It looks better with the slightly less rounded corners. TouchWiz certainly doesn't look any smarter though...

 

[m4rk84]

There's still a small chance that the device is just an S4 prototype and perhaps the design has changed some since. However it's all looking pretty legit right now, odds are that the leaked device is the S4 in the flesh.

 

[JoeF1]

Look at that guys thumbs!

Not much different from the note 2?

 

[Tatsuki]

That guy is trolling it may well be the new galaxy s4. Why the heck is he playing a apple promo video in the background, a snub at the plastic design of the s4 maybe?

 

[Robbo]

He's gone to an awful lot of trouble if he's trolling.

 

[doodah]

Looks awfully thick.

 

[grudas]

if it is the s4 the camera sensor looks huge!

 

[stoosh]

After seeing the video and the Samsung teaser pic I'm not feeling the S4. Will probably sit this one out.

Spoiler

 

[sunny007]

Looks like they are following apple with the design.. making minimal changes to it

 

[Rimsy]

I was thinking that too.
if it is indeed the s4 then a 13mp sensor that's that big could turn out to be the "killer app" feature that they've kept under wraps. neither the new xperia nor HTC one appear to have particularly impressive cameras so this could be what sets it apart.
