I think this has some real software improvements (the keep awake feature, S Voice, pip video etc) and they obviously copied the One X camera features. And TouchWiz has always been lighter than Sense.
It has a bigger and removable battery and microSd while being slimmer than the One X, that's pretty amazing.
This is true.It just seems like a software release and people were expecting amazing hardware.
I think everyone is disappointed with the hardware - its basically the Nexus with a bigger screen and different cpu. The camera is probably not that great, which is why they're highlighting all the social features instead of talking about the sensor.
It just seems like a software release and people were expecting amazing hardware. It's a boring design and nothing new compared to the amazing One X. So much hype for nothing.
Hmm not too impressed.. I was holding out on the nexus form google play store just for this..
How long does it usually take new android versions to get to Samsung phones compared to google phones?
I'm not sure how anyone can be unimpressed with that phone.
Almost being the key word about the Tegra phones and the confirmed benchmarks outperform every phone on the market. As far as the camera is concerned....how do you know the others have better cameras? Nobody has posted comparisons yet. So you have a phone with the best screen on the market, best benchmarks on the market, the most storage on the market, significant battery improvements (according to Samsung), and all of the features of the market's other killer phones and you're disappointed? What did you expect?Terga phones with almost same screen, better camera... why would you be impressed?

Samsung focused on software and user experience rather than hardware specs with this phone. Isn't that what Apple does and they always get praised?
I can guarantee that if Apple had introduced Direct Call, Smart Alert, photo sharing etc (with an 'i' of course) the tech world would be going mad calling it the greatest thing ever.
I don't get the hate on the hardware or the comments stating its bad hardware? It's a quad core processor. How many quad core phones are out there at the moment? 1.
reviews are out suggesting that the S4 has better battery life. And it has LTE.I think the US version with the S4 will actually perform better than the quad core global variant (see Tegra3 One X vs S4 One X), it will be interesting to see battery life benches at least. Right now I'm more interested in Verizon's version of the HTC One S (Incredible 4G) than the S3 because of HTC's recent policy on unlocking and the form factor. If the screen is the same one as the Rezound that will be about as close to a perfect phone as I can probably hope for this year.

Overall, you'd be foolish to buy a GSII at this point
The GSII got 4.0 before the Nexus S, so I don't know.
Disappointing hardware?
The second phone to have a Quad is 'disappointing hardware'?
64gb internal + SD card, which no competitor has is 'disappointing hardware'?
Wireless charging is 'disappointing hardware'? (Only thing I actually care about )
2100mah removable battery is 'disappointing hardware'?
Dafuq were you expecting?
Is Samsung going to release the new TouchWiz for earlier phones like SGS2, since almost all the new features are pure software? I hope they do.
most people buying a Nexus phone don't care to use Touchwiz
I really don't want to use a cloud service to hold my my entire music collection.
