I hardly even bother to check Camera or Display comparisons anymore, I know Samsung always do an excellent job with each flagship in these two areas 
My Galaxy S2 with Android JB takes incredible pics to, I think Samsungs only rivals when it comes to imaging are Nokia and Apple, the crown always seems to be floating between these three.

Phone Arena camera comparisons are terrible. Have you not seen the Lumia 920 v the S4?? Awful poor photography and the S4 pics are over exposed.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Screen got smashed during Easter Weekend, I was quite drunk, woke up the next morning with the screen smashed, the frame deeply scratched and pieces of the parts around the home button missing, I don't remember what happened to be honest...was a great nite though...what I remember of it that is 
Heres a pic of the damage, its much worse than it looks, the repair center initially told my insurance that it would cost around R4200 (382gbp) to fix, today after further investigation they deemed it uneconomical to repair, seems the internals took quite a beating as well:

Samsung officially announces Galaxy S4 U.S. availability: seven carriers and seven retailers to get it from April
http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]s-to-get-it-from-April_id42026
A company serious about world domination here, very aggressive availability in what's seen as a very important market, this is why Samsung need not worry about other Android OEMs, none of them can pull off something like this as well as bring a killer marketing campaign.
Thermal imaging of stressed Samsung Galaxy S4 shows the chassis rarely gets hot and bothered

Interesting result for the GS4 here.

Wolfson audio chip is exellent, it is in my Note 2 and that S-View cover is indeed a great accessory, protective and informative at the same time

Everytime I see that photo of your S3 I cringe.I would have loved to have seen your face the morning you woke up and discovered that mess.
Fantastic news on getting an S4.When is it arriving in SA? 27th April - Vodacom?

Indeed, so does the GS1 and GS3. I've heard nothing but good things about the Note2's audio, I briefly thought of getting a Note2 actually, but having used a friends one a bit more today I'm glad I went for GS4, the Note2 is a bit big for me much as I like it I just can't see myself managing with it.

Yep, Middle-East and Africa are mainly getting the Exynos 5 Octa variant, known as the GT I9500, although VodaCom (Vodafone South Africa) will have both that and I9505 S600 Snapdragon variant. I asked the guy who works at my local Vodashop to reserve the I9500 for me.

Utter shock, horror and disappointment in myself were written all over my face with a mix of laughter with my friends as we all tried to piece together how and why we got so crazy the nite before, it was just one of those nites I guess, had many like them but never have I woken up to a broken phone.
Yep, S4 arrives between 26th and 27th at Vodacom and Cell C apparently, Incredible Connection also have it on pre-order at R8499.95, will have stock from the 27th if I'm not mistaken.
Everyone
Anyone else getting the GS4 here? I am quite literally confused as to which colour to go for. The White looks gorgeous and classy but a tad bit feminine, the Black looks more sleek, and conservative, but apparently its a finger print magnet :/. My last two Sammys (GS2 and GS3)have been white, although I preferred the S3 in Titanium Grey. What colour are you guys getting and why?
