:eek:



notice his face matches the emoji!
 
I wonder what the purpose of this "Nexus" GS4 is......

Price will be the key....

EDIT: $649.....yikes.....I would love to get one but.....

Also notice its running JB 4.2.....
 
So they are getting rid of the bloat ware AKA features on GS4? That's great!
 
Agreed. Not having to dismiss the same notifications on different devices is very convenient.

??? Have had this for months on my Nex7 and S3 running custom ROMs. I clear a notification on one and within a minute or so, it is gone off the other and the notification led stops blinking on my S3. Both are on 4.2.2. I thought this was a standard feature in 4.2.x?
 
HOLY.FRACK.

I won't necessarily get one, but I love that stock Android is becoming more pervasive.
 
The average consumer is going to be VERY confused about the same phone with different software on it. I can't wait to see their reactions. :D
 
Damn! Galaxy S4 Nexus Edition...

A fantastic camera, a fantastic display, fantastic battery life. And yummy stock Android!
 
This is going to be awesome. Apple better watch out. Samsung S4 with stock android man that is crazy.

I don't understand this though......you have to think a Nexus 5 that's released later this year will have similar specs AND be priced MUCH lower.....

Confused as to the reason behind this release. Don't get me wrong, its cool and Touchwiz is the main reason I would never touch a Samsung phone, so one which runs Vanilla Android is MUCH more enticing.....

Just somewhat confused.

I wonder what is stopping anyone from flashing "Stock" android factory images onto the bloated S4?

If you could swap and change.... Could be good.

Yep exactly.

I just wish they allowed us - the consumer - to choose which OS we would like when we first launch our handsets - or offer easy way to flip between the two via an application on our computers that would download either stock or manufacturers GUI.
