Until Apples wireless charging smartcover comes out
I'm confused on what they meant by transparent display though. I really hope its not just a piece of plastic that lightens its opacity so you can see that small section of the screen...
Agreed. If it was a second display that would be pretty cool
Software and the app itself could hold back the benchmark score then.
True, I should have clarified. IGZO gives Apple the ability to up the resolution to get close to the GS4's pixel density without increasing power consumption. But, Apple may choose to stick to the current resolution/pixel density and use IGZO to improve battery life.....
well i liked the keynote, even my mum understood what they were talking about giving those "real life" examples.
tim cook is still the worst at presenting imo. always the same damn tone. "its inCREDIBLE ... very re...VOLUTIONARY ... brand .... NEWWWW"
Steve Jobs ... rip

What a terrible presentation. I understand the Broadway theme but it was overplayed.
The features of the actual product are great.

2013, and the flagship android phone is still made of plastic. The white one with all the sensors along the top looks pretty ugly.
Just want to also say I don't think it helps international sales when the executive says it has American English and English with British Accent! translation! Bet the Scottish accent confuses the crap out of it!
I think this device is actually a Galaxy S3s.
Also, why exactly do you want to 'wave' or 'waft' you hand over a touch screen display?

Awful presentation but the phone looks pretty cool.
My thoughts are that it's not as big an upgrade over the S3 as the S3 was over the S2.
A lot of the announced features I would be unlikely to use, like drama shot, hover view, group play, S-Translate. HomeSync looks really cool but that isn't exclusively available to the S4 AFAIK.
New sensors are good, especially temperature and humidity!
I don't think I'll be overly tempted to buy this one so I'm glad

Soo.... whats the battery life going to be? We know 2600mAh.
A lot of the new features boil down to how well executed they are. Is looking away pausing my video going to drive me insane? Is tilting accidentally going to scroll too easily?

Plastic, especially the stuff Samsung uses, isn't bad. The S3 feels fine in the hand and I'm sure the S4 will too
How is this any different from HTC Sense completely taking over Android? HTC is worse at this because it completely botches the native multitasking.
That keynote for the Samsung Galaxy IV was an assault on the senses.
But the phone looks like it will give the iPhone 5S a run for its money.
Also, do you trust Samsung with your Health Data?

No difference. Sony can be just as guilty too. Hence my preference for stock Android.
