Looks good but not good enough to give up my Note 2. Besides, I am sure Samsung is holding back the really good features and specs for the Note 3 as they did with the 2
Here is a look all the accessasries for the S4. Scroll below the scale,lol. Dont know why that is even on there.
Samsung is selling flip covers for spare batteries too? Wow.
Even if it is, maybe there will be one person, in this whole wide world, who might find the feature useful (I'm thinking possibly a business man or woman in a meeting who wants to glance at his or her notifications without opening the flip cover and being obvious...). And that one person in the whole wide world would be glad Samsung implemented this so called gimmick.
Just maybe.
Without even trying to dig further, i would assume that is what you charge the battery in and it has a cover.
So if just one person found it useful, I have no right to express my opinion about the s view cover being gimmicky?
And just maybe there are millions of men and women in the whole wide world who actually love having a 3.5" or 4" screen on the iPhone and are glad Apple keep it that size.
However, that hasn't prevented you from bitching about the iPhone 4" screen on over a few hundred posts in the last year.
How many times have you bitch about the iPhone screen size in the last 2 days? 10 times? 20 times? 30 times? I don't think there is a week that you don't complain about the iPhone screen size. We get it, you don't like 4" and under screens.
The Galaxy S4 is just announced. It's okay for me to express my opinions about it.
Why can't you accomplish the same thing with a black background for the lock screen? Or better yet, turn off the gimmicky animated background on Android and use a dark background if you are really concern with battery life.
That's why I have an iPhone?
Not a power sucking Android phone with a ton of useless gimmicky features running in the background? Or a power sucking 1080p 5" screen on a phone? Or power sucking quad/octo core processor just so the Android OS doesn't lag?
Anyone who doesn't agree with your opinions must be closed minded? I'm pretty sure you are the one closed minded here.
In my opinion is gimmicky. You don't think it's gimmicky. Fine. Doesn't make me closed minded.
The same applies to you:
1) You don't understand the full facts regarding power consumption of the new S4.
2) Your so closed minded that you would argue just for the sake of arguing.
I've own over half a dozen android devices. Battery life on those android devices sucks, except for the note 2. But the Note 2 is huge with a huge battery.
I don't know anyone with an iPhone who thinks it has a good battery

I think the iPhone has good battery. I always get through a day, which is all I need from a phone.

Likewise I get through the day with at least 40% left on my battery after using it throughout the day doing various tasks.
My iPhone battery experience has always been solid, unlike my experience with various other smartphones.

In other news, unlocked HTC One is $650 (developer's edition). VERY INTERESTING.
Don't go on European pricing for indication of US pricing.
The 32gb Silver sim free model is €600 ($785) compared to the sim free sim unlocked / bootloader unlocked 64gb dev edition which as you say is $650
Question: Have there been a lot of reports of the S3's home button failing? Just curious.
No surprises on the UK pricing, £500 is basically the standard price for any new flagship smartphone.
