Galaxy S4

[onthecouchagain]

Forget the accessories, I am 100% sure it will be selling for $550 for the 32gb one in a month after going live, like the previous generations.

I can sell my 5 month old iPhone 5 and get the s4 for no extra, super excited for the launch.

Another part of the reason why I'm hanging onto my iPhone 5 as well. Even if I miss my 30-day return window at Apple, the resale value of the devce makes it a logical "temporary smartphone" until I commit to either the S4 or the One.

You can do exactly that with iOS device though. Even create your own. I'm assuming you are talking about the S4 because that's a feature throughout iOS devices.

Vibrafications tweak on cydia was the first

Has anyone ever used unlocked mobiles?

They have the s4 listed for preorder at £530

Samsung went full retard on the price of their cases.

Edit. Deleted. I was wrong.

 

[The Game 161]

Wonder if the price stops when it's out

 

[onthecouchagain]

Boy as release gets closer and as momentum really builds for this device (and I guess the marketing kicks it into high gear) I don't know how the One will survive.

Yeah but at least I can see the notifications light through my jeans.

Cant work out if your being serious or not!

If the S4 takes micro sim would you still need to get a new one from Vodafone? Or just put my iPhone 5 sim in the S4?

I'm almost certain that the iPhone has its own data plan, it certainly has on O2, I had to switch my data plan from one (iPhone) to the other (SGS3), it would still work for calls etc.

You don't need a specific iphone data plan with vodafone, unless you intend to use the phone as a wireless hotspot. Data works fine on any vodafone plan.

Ah, OK, thanks for that, must only be O2 then.

Took a quick screenshot, mine is set up at the moment for my Nexus 4.

When I had my iPhone I just continued to use the vodafone sim only plan. Everything worked fine except for some reason the tethering wouldn't work. Strange how with iPhones you need the special plan

Ah so I won't need to get a new sim then?

I just trimmed my sim down to micro sim and all was good!

Iphone 5 takes nano sim, s4 micro sim, small difference

I don't think you can trim a micro sim into nano. normal sim to micro yes.

That's what I meant!

Who else thinks the S4 should've been closer to this design?

That's just asking for the speaker grills to get banged up.

This isn't real metal, but the lighting and everything makes it look like it's metal...

So imagine if Samsung used real metal around the bands of the S4. It would've definitely given it a more premium look and feel. Sigh... one can dream.

I hear you...fake metal is the cheapest idea I've ever seen. Why not just a classy high grade plastic instead? I've seen some old MP3 players done in all plastic REALLY well! That fake metal WREAKS of a 1980s CRT TV.

 

[MRU]

I'm not biggest fan (design wise) but still aesthetically to me its more appealing than the S3 even if it is plastic. The little refinements and the carbon fibre-esque texture to the case look vastly superior to its predecessor. It's just the gui Touchwiz I personally find ugly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Agreed. Think the new design looks too much like the old design.
