It doesn't surprise me at all. I want the market to be more competitive but there was only really HTC who stood a chance against Samsung. As always, Sony's effort was poor in almost every single way.

Indeed. WRT Sony, their new "also ran" devices, the Z Ultra and the 20mp one may do better, hopefully for their sake. With the Galaxy Note 3 coming in with possibly 3GB RAM, 5.7-5.99inch display, all the GS4 features along with the Gesture sensor and other sensors, topped with an updated TW, updated S Pen features etc.... Sony and the rest don't seem to stand much of a chance once again, although the LG Optimus G2 may turn out to be quite the beast and there's also the Nokia EOS, they certainly won't do GS4 numbers though. Lets not forget the iPhone5S coming in with the most anticipated iOS version yet, I think Samsung are far more concerned about the iP5S and iPad5, they don't have anything to be as worried about in the Android arena, some OEM CEO's are even going on about lack of money

I know I say it every time, but any manufacturer who feels it necessary to release two flagships a year, or a plus version illustrates to me they didn't have much confidence in the first product they released.

The GS4 updated with SD800 could be considered as plus version, dont you think? |

Very true!

Nope, it's not being released to all markets and it only brings a new CPU with a LTE standard supported by one network.

This thread is a scary place. People just get more and more stupid. I'm not even sure you understand the words you are using...
In the Sony thread, people point out stories have already been posted 5 pages back at times when 5 pages have been added within an hour...

Loving it!
Wish they had done the same with Yeezus, ah well, it's more than most other phone companies do for their customers

Hope everyone is enjoying their S4s, I know this thread hasn't had much discussion due to the Samsung haters, unfortunately for them it has broken not only Samsung's own records but Androids to as the best selling Android.
Thoroughly enjoying mine, battery life, UI, display, design, audio quality and pics+vids taken by its camera are all ace. Only niggle is waiting for this XXUBMEA update.

That ad made me laugh Entertaining and yet informative regarding the phone's functions and features  Very clever
Enjoying my S4 too, a great device in every way Sammy delivers every time and I can't wait to see what the Note III will be like

Yep, same here, although I won't get the Note 3, at 5.7inch to 5.9inch, I simply can't get a phone that big, lol.
BTW Rikken, has the Apps to SD feature helped on your S4? That's assuming you got the update.
Seems Android 4.3 will bring some great CPU/GPU optimizations, S600 based GS4 now scoring +27000 in AnTuTu:

I have the Apps to SD function but have not bothered to use it since I regularly switch between my S4 and my Note II and use the same SD-card on both Love both phones and I would love to try the S4 Active as well
Impressive bencmarks that 27000 is, Android keeps getting better and better and we have the goods to enjoy it

what on earth were Samsung thinking with this one:

Fair enough how is the RAM on the update? On XXUAMDE the phone seemed to use a lot more, now on XXUAMDK I sometimes find that it only uses around 850-900mb, so it became a lot more frugal, I hope it's the same on the update, as multitasking is such a pleasure right now, I confidently leave multiple apps open and so on.
Yeah, can't wait until 4.3 arrives, we've been on 4.2 forever
