Did they announce much about the camera besides the megapixel count? I couldn't find any info about a new or improved sensor. It'd be nice if it was just as good as my iPhone 5. I used a GS3 and while it's camera was respectable, it certainly wasn't just as good.
Also, what are the odds that the slightly bigger battery could reach about 6 hours of screen-on time on completely stock software (I leave bluetooth turned off on every phone btw)? Maybe I have unreasonable expectations.. lol.

From what I understand from the initial reviews, the camera is marginally better. Most of us are well aware by now that megapixels mean relatively little. Most of the reviews I've seen have not praised the camera as being much better than the S3, which is a huge downer for me. The average consumer will simply see that 13 is bigger than 8 and then pounce, but really that makes little difference since it doesn't look like the light sensor has been updated.

I'm not a camera expert or anything, I'm just going off of what I've heard/seen up to this point. I'm sure once the phone launches we will get much more solid feedback
