so far, so many cool features and enhancements.

Why not let the phone speak for itself? This crap is terrible, I had to turn it off.

Apple may have fallen a little behind with the specs and features but at least they still know how to do a keynote!

I'm dreading this presentation. It's as corny as corny gets and the guys sound awfully patronising. They sound like they're trying to sell the phone to people with special needs.

Some of the features so far seem pretty cool, though. However it seems like too many gimmickry for its own sake.

Apple will probably have 441ppi or so this year too
Samsung simply releases their phones earlier in the year




So basically the GS4 is a thinner GS3 on the outside? Lame......

*mimics critics who said the same thing when the iPhone 5 came out mentioning how it looked just like the 4/4S.......*

But, 441 ppi is impressive. Cool that it is LTE Advanced ready..... Just hope the US doesn't get screwed again and doesn't get the Exynos 5 CPU......

Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Well, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will go down in history as the WORST product launch ever and that's before they showed the phone!

Anyway, it's cheap looking, plastic, and the same design! It's 2013 and they make a plastic halo phone? And the features just seem like desperate geeky rubbish to me? Ooohhh pictures with sound.. yeah I'm pretty sure their is a reason we haven't had that before? I would say the translator is good but I bet their's an app for that already?

Sorry Samsung, but IMO the new HTC One and Sony's new Xperia design language destroys anything Samsung has announced this year, and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER DO A LAUNCH EVENT LIKE THIS AGAIN!!!! I'm going to have nightmares about it and it hasn't finished yet...

They're trying too hard to be funny and these skits are terrible.

The phone software is very good and clearly a lot of work has gone into it but this ***** is undermining it....

. They sound like they're trying to sell the phone to people with special needs. .

This is so dumb that that that would be insulting to those with special needs ;)


It's getting rather embarrassing now, a presentation shouldn't make you want to turn off out of being shamed watching it...

Ok i'm done. If i keep watching this i think i might have a stronger urge to punch a baby seal.

At least i know the leaks were real. Looks like an S3, 5" 1080p SAMOLED, has a 8-core chip (except not really), lots of gimmicky Touchwiz features, and is out Apr.

For me HTC > Sony > Sammie in 2013 flagships. Over to you Nokia and Apple.

Off to bed.

I think they packed a ton of features into the phone, but I don't know if they are features that most people have a need for. Personally it makes the nexus line even more appealing. The bloat ware will be through the roof.

These skits are making me cringe and they make it difficult to follow the explanation of features.

Gotta feel for the actors who have to quickly shy away from their flat corny jokes.

Who's idea was it to put people through this?
