Im not sure if my S3 was meant to be used with gloves but I found it did yesterday at work when wearing blue latex gloves whilst checking with my S3's LED inside some equipment for contaminant leaks. I would have thought the rubber or whatever they are would have blocked my skins conductivity.

That happened with the Lumia 620 I had. it doesn't have the super sensitive screen but it still was sensitive enough to be used through clothing

I still find these silly tough phones pointless unless you're into extreme sports.
Do they ever sell ?

Just another day of awesome Galaxy S4 news...
Consumer Reports votes Samsung Galaxy S4 as best phone of the season
Consumer Reports did its seasonal phone testing and outed the Samsung Galaxy S4 as the winner of current flagships on the market. The previous top was LG Optimus G, which won the holiday season tests.
The shop measures by several criteria, including camera performance, and it was overall satisfied mostly with the wide-gamut Full HD Super AMOLED display, the gesture and eye-tracking navigation, as well as the sharing and multitasking capabilities of the phone: "The S4 delivered top-notch performance in the most critical areas of our tests, including the camera," they concluded.

Galaxy S4 display has the widest color gamut, Samsung demos 13.3" panel with 3200x1800 pixels
The Society of Information Displays expo is where each year the latest and greatest in display tech is showcased, and what would it be without the Korean juggernauts.
After LG demonstrated a flexible OLED with plastic substrate, Samsung flaunted three display sizes - about 5, 10 and 13 inches. The Galaxy S4's Full HD 4.99" Super AMOLED panel, it turns out, covers the widest color gamut of any mobile screen - 94% of the Adobe RGB color space, which is much wider than the standard sRGB gamut those displays are typically measured against.
Of course, this all might be just a way to say OLED's colors are oversaturated for the sRGB gamut, which screen purists are aware of, but fit well within the wider Adobe RGB space, just a matter of yardstick.
The 10.1" display bears 2560 x 1600 pixels of resolution, while the 13.3" screen flaunts the breathtaking 3200 x 1800 pixels, making for a record pixel density, larger than the 13" MacBook Pro with Retina, for instance. The larger panels have 30% less power requirements than the typical LCDs due to the decreased number of driver circuits and improved LED backlight efficiency.

Haven't tried with leather ones, only cotton/wool and rubber ones.

Can anyone please tell me if the camera on the S4 is better than the S3? And whether its really worth upgrading from the 3 to the 4? |

Well, its certainly better in terms of resolved detail at 100% crops. The S4 has a very good camera, ive never been impressed with my S3's camera.
@ Tsepz_GP - literally cannot believe how much good news there is now about the S4. Im almost tempted to drop my S3 in a river accidentally on purpose to warrant replacing it with a S4.
