Samsung Unveils the Galaxy S4
adeelarshad82 writes "It's been leaked, teased, accused of being a copy of its predecessor, and celebrated as the likely champion of the mobile ecosystem for 2013. Samsung has finally unveiled the next in their line of globally available smartphones, the Galaxy S4. The phone carries a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080p resolution at 441ppi, weighs only 130 grams and is no more than 7.9mm thick. On the inside, the Exynos based Octo-Core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and the Snapdragon based Quad-Core 1.9GHz processor power this machine. Galaxy S4 is also packing 2GB of RAM and a 2600mAh battery, and its microSD slot is accessible though the removable rear panel. The S4 will include several new features, such as Air Gesture, Smart Pause, and Smart Scroll. Samsung's vice president of portfolio planning said many of the software improvements in the Samsung Galaxy S4 could make their way into existing Samsung Galaxy S3 phones."
Maybe they should have said biggest revolution since 3D TV.
What's the point in a wireless device with an uninterpretable signal?
I suppose if you can't make any calls, you can't drop any.
Are you serious? A chief of marketing named Schiller?
Damn mistyping and spell check. Oh well. Next time I'll look for a phone with an ineffable signal.
Actually I find 5 inches to be about perfect. It'll fit my pocket okay and I can actually hold it.
That's what she said.
There was a girl I liked back in college who I took out a few times, but it turned out she was ineffable.
After that, I tried to stick to only the effable ones.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Hell I have seen vibrators with inductive charging.
Curiously in the 80s and 90s the type of girls known as Jersey Girls in the US were called Effies in Australia after a TV character called Efimea but known to all and sundry as Effie.
The different meanings of the words F-able and effable and their antonyms unF-able and ineffable often form an unholy symmetry when applied to particular women.
I said - don't look Ethel!..., but it was too late..., she'd already looked.
The really nice part here is that it's also AMOLED.
Thank you for "explaining" the too-too-subtle wordplay to us, Captain Obvious!
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
incremental improvements and an overall nice phone, sure, but the ad I saw said it was gonna be the biggest revolution since the color TV.
It's aimed at iPhone 4s owners whose loyalty is swaying.
It's aimed at iPhone 4 owners where are easily impressed by a cell phone that can make phone calls.

Well there is a certain subtlety to it beyond the obvious. Take the women from any dynasty, The House of Windsor for example, from Queen Victoria to Princess Alexandra to Princess Elizabeth to her daughter Queen Elizabeth to Princess Diana to Duchess Camilla to Princess Catherine. Or perhaps Senior White House women. Any group of women who are newsworthy for other reasons create interesting patterns as the kaleidoscope changes with each change of generation.

Whoa, am I the only one who has this 100% of the time, whether I'm using my phone or not?
Get Verizon, they charge me a lot for wireless.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
I love my galaxy note. See I have a giant head so when I'm talking on the phone with my note it really helps make my head look smaller.

What about S2 owners? What's your advice for them?
Throw away your ludicrously old-fashioned phone immediately and buy the new shiny phone before you lose all your friends, your wife runs off with the milkman (who has an S4 already) and your kids sue you for mental anguish caused by being unfashionable.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
I think android users might remark they have yet to find an equivalent to Firefox, or emulators, or adblockers on IOS.
