Touchwiz still looks drab, needs a refresh, been the same since gingerbread (not a problem if you're a L33T H4XOR and want to mess about chainging the operating system).

Well isn't this the SAMSUNG Galaxy S4 thread?

So it's not about looks...........but it is about looks.....cool Tbh. I get what bobRo is saying. Shallow as it might be, I'll gladly admit that design plays a huge part of almost all products I purchase (as is the case for the vast majority of consumers).
With any product I'll gladly settle for the second best within my budget if it's the one that looks the best.
I'd never settle for something that only looks good, mind you.

I wish Dom and Ash would either just fight or fuck each other. Definitely tension of some kind between them

Yup and i was merely clarifying that's a TouchWiz issue. I'm not denying how much of a catastrophe that TouchWiz toggle bar looks though

Naturally looks will play a part in it. But I would happily sacrifice looks (to an extent) for something that is better. The S3/4 sadly, are beyond that extent and look stinkin'. But my point still stands oRbbo's responses exceed that of an unbiased opinion and border fanboi-ism with the sheer hatred

@ 700 comments on Android lag and hardly any about the actual phone, gotta love Verge.

£500+ and it looks the same as the last one, apart from a bigger screen? Surely no one here will be interested...

Terrible English in that picture
Had to laugh at all the lag comments on that verge page Although my iPhone is laggy as buggery these days . The fact the jb hasn't been updated in a year may be a contributing factor

they clearly think theyre as good as apple now. because apple only release phones that look the same because they think theyre better than everyone else and dont have to try anymore.

Samsung are selling lots of phones just now so they probably do think exactly that. They'll just get caught out quicker than Apple.
Agree with the probably won't be much different in real life but has a bigger screen opinion.

they are making a huge mistake, apple's secretive nature has destroyed their share price.

Apple up 5% since S4 launch, Samsung down 5%.

GeekBench - http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/even-the-4-core-samsung-galaxy-s4-destroys-most-of-the-competition/
Not a 'full picture' benchmark as it doesn't test 3D capabilities but still pretty impressive
