Which is why I wont be upgrading. I can value the added functionality they've added, but its not the big upgrade I would have wanted if I were due an upgrade.

Just as you said about Nokia being not much of an update. It was not mean't to be as it's a refreshed Lumia 920.

The S4 imo is a decent update though. Brilliant for people upgrading from a S2 for example.
The issue with WP is even the lower end devices seem just as fast and impressive as the flagships. Nokia even put brilliant screens in their budget WP phones.

Yeah,although when Microsoft push this next update out there will be support for 1080p screens and quad core etc. Hopefully soon. That then may change things with flagships having a quad core and dual core at lower end.

I don't even think they have added any useful functionality. It seems to me that they thought they had created the ultimate smartphone in the S3 ( which at the time was a possibility, but little things like having speakers on the front of the handset and being able to actually hear call and notifications is a breath of fresh air. Insignificant software tweaks mean nothing. The advert on UK TV for the S4 at present really sums it up......... group play, showing a team waiting to go out and compete all using S4's and being able to listen to the same tune.......what a load of useless drivel

The worrying thing is that unless somebody else emerges as competition soon we may all HAVE to use Android and Samsung........what a shockingly depressing thought

bloatware, "software enhancements" call them what you will. I really think that the S4 will be seen as a failure in Samsungs eyes in the future. Of course it will sell in the millions but when all these S4 contracts have ended how many will support Samsung again ?

Hmmm,yeah I was disppointed with the GS4 in many ways. I hoped it would be much better than the GS3. For a top flagship of that price I would not pay for it

If you don't like it then it was not made for you.
I find it a nice upgrade from the S III.
Better and larger screen with more natural colors
Better camera
Larger battery
Louder speakersound
IR port
2 GB of RAM
Temperature and Humidity sensors
Faster HSDPA
LTE
All fitted into a more compact, thinner and slightly lighter body

Very happy with mine  the display alone makes it a worthy upgrade from the GS3, mix that with the new Camera, better power efficiency , more sensetive display, some of the Air gestures and Air view, I'm glad I got it.
It's bound not be everyones cup of tea. Enjoy your HTC One, Lemmy, it seems like a fantastic device, had it had a 5inch display and MicroSD slot it would've made the decision hard between it and GS4.

The IR port for a tv remote control is very tempting though lol
