Dave Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 So the Samsung Galaxy has been announced and is set for release on April 26th... I'm going to upgrade early and get rid of my iPhone 4S for one of these on or soon after release. It looks ace (Although the same styling as the S3, but I never had one of those) http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s4-1137602/review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm still on the Samsung galaxy S 1! Ahah, been on contract for two years, luckily it runs out in April so I might just have to get this one next! Looks fantastic, I only swear by Samsung Galaxy, Iphone's are too fragile to be around me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's a great phone but I don't think it is the WOW !!! leap above everything else on the market that the S3 was over the competition at the time. Probably still the one to go for. If you're not a samsung fan then the HTC One is the next best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Very good phone best on the market as its new and would be my chose as well but and glad mines not up yet as I think there might be better competition later on in the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I have the s2 now and I will be getting this, and then updating the software to Android 5.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 8 core processor! That sounds amazing. I'm still waiting on the next Nexus phone. I had one of the first smartphones (Nexus 1) and loved that I got all the software upgrades first. Then I went to an HTC and it's only so-so, and I had to wait to get the Android update. So, I'm going with a vanilla Nexus for my next phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about looking at the Nexus 5 when it comes out for the same reasons you say about the software updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm still waiting on the next Nexus phone. I had one of the first smartphones (Nexus 1) There were 3 years of smartphones before that on android. Were just not very popular. However the first smartphones that were popular we're actually 7 years prior to the nexus when blackberry released their first smartphone which had the modern day functionality of email, internet and even apps. Actually quite scary how long they have been about these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think I'm definitely set on an S4. Have heard mixed reviews of the S3 but I think it'll be a good phone for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
