http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_to_announce_galaxy_s_iv_on_march_14-news-5599.php
Like always, stay tuned for future updates! And here I thought next big thing is already here, does that mean, next thing will be bigger?
| Quote: | | The Unpacked event is said to take place in New York City, unlike the Galaxy S III launch event which was set in London, and will be the first US launch event for Samsung in three years. Samsung says they were "bombarded with requests from U.S. mobile carriers to unveil the Galaxy S IV in the country", hence the change of venue this year. |

Samsung are working with Three for something big in London as well 
Fucking corporate culture they have might still prevent them from sorting it out though (they haven't worked *anything* out yet other than "we want to do stuff")

It'll probably be 5" beast, with the design of S3... Meh...
It's kinda interesting to see how Lumia 920 pushed Ativ S out of the view on the w8 phones front

Not many people realize that Samsung makes W8 phone in first place. They are primarily known for their Android flagship and I have not come across any mobile operators that carry Samsung Ativ S (In US least) and same can be said about Nokia being Windows Phone primarily flagship with no android-bases phones.
I can only imagine after quite a little failure on design and build quality of S3, they will go into direction same as Sony Xperia Z,ZL, HTC One or Oppo Find 5 or even BlackBerry/Iphone. |

My S3 fell from about 1m a couple of times, kids have played with it (which inevitably ends in the phone falling), it has been travelling with mah keys once (I forgot) and I don't care that much anymore so I don't pay much attention (lol at people using bulky cover over cover thingies and practically caressing their phone everytime they take it out), not a single scratch yet. Must be some deluxe edition.

From what i had in my hands, the SII, it felt like holding something plastic compared to how the Sensation felt.
This is personal experience tho, could be due to how the back border is more like ) instead of _|
(Just like the evo3d feels shit in my hands).

Basically it's sporting the same processor as my nexus 4, just over clocked a bit.
I feel the HTC one at 1080p @4.7 inches with the same CPU/GPU may be more popular this time. Of course these phones will be blown out of the water with tegra4 and Qualcomm T800 coming this year.

Gonna upgrade my S3 to S4 only when CyanogenMod for S4 is out.
btw, to people who bash S3 and S4, don't act like flagship devices from other companies aren't flawed in any way...
Nexus 4 - poor battery life, overheating-throttling problems, no storage extension. pure android experience out of the box is nice, but if you aren't retarded you can have that on almost any device.
The new HTC One - horrible camera, at least it comes in 32/64GB models so no storage extension isn't so bad like with N4, and it's too early to tell if it has other long standing issues.

Another fool thinking MP means actually something
It's not the megapixel that counts, but the pixelsize. 
And stupidity from GSMArena, upscaling a 4MP image to 8MP and then compare it..
My friend that has studied photography is laughing his ass off right now on teamspeak about this

Your friend that has studied photography.
A large sensor with the shit lense that is on these devices (there is no room for good lenses) is nothing. Images speak for themselves.

Oh wait, so upscaling then comparing is fine, but downscaling and then comparing is bad (even tho i'm not comparing the quality but the lighting, shows how much readingskills you actually got)
Same with you thinking megapixel actually means something...
Stupidity at it's max

Since you have no clue what sensor size actually means, let's not throw the "stupidity" superlative so easily. |

And what does it have anything to do with "iCrap"? The Optimus shot also looks much more detailed (albeit colors are off there). Buut wait, pixels does not mean pixel so less is more and blurrr is sharp. 
1 px stretch = pixelsize that counts
