Looks like America is finally getting smarter... although, there's always the impending release of the iPhone 5 to consider, sadly...

Also unattractive cousin you want to throw in the basement. I mean what.
Although Android is on the climb, I agree that bragging now is a little premature. Anyone who is anyone knows the iPhone 5 is coming out most likely later this month. Very few people are buying the 4S knowing that. Bragging about a device that's only a few months old vs a phone most people know is done as the flagship for Apple this month is a little out there.

YEAHHHH!! Apple can kiss it!! Android and Samsung all the way baby!! Now to go and gloat about this to all these Apple suck ups.
Ive had 2 iPhones. But I will never ever support crapple in any way whatsoever. Unless the 5 gives daily bj's that is. Their BS lawsuits and cry baby tactics have lost me as a customer for life, no matter what they come our with
From the I-killer
I dislike apple like the rest of you but I don't see how this is possible. You want me to belive that the S3 has sold more devices than the 4S when the IP4S has been on the market 8 months longer?
Is the article misleading. Did Samsung sell more S3's from Launch till now than apple did during the same 2 months?
It doesn't add up. Just saying!

Easy tiger... this is what happens the month before a launch. People always hold off and other companies try to push their stuff out in the summer to lock in customers. I'm a big fan of the S3. Unfortunately most people are sheep when it comes to Apple.
I dont wanna be that guy that craps on everyones happy (because trust me I love this news) but is one possibility for this turn out because people are holding out on buying the IPhone in august because they know the 5 is coming out?
You guys do realize that no normal person with any common sense at all would buy an iPhone 4S right now with the new 5 coming out, right?
I hate to rain on your parade, but this is nothing to celebrate about.
We know this but no other phone has done this to crapple.so if this is short lived so what...we all know even with the iPhone 5 the S3 is still better.

The iphone 5 will not compare to the s3...crApple has fallen behind. Its now desperate measures for them, hince all the petty lawsuits.
Not really surprising
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
the Iphone 5 will be competing with the Galaxy note2 5.5" screen! We shall see....
Great news, and I agree... crapple has it's work cut out...
Samsung takes number one spot!
YEAHHHH! !Good news in August, the highest sales of Samsung
meh. Apple fans will tout the 5 as the best phone ever. It'll have a retina display, and just saying retina display is cool. I'm sure it'll be a great product with a bunch of cool features that are perfectly fine for the average user and it will win the ease of use battle. We'll see what the hardware is, but I'm guessing it'll be inferior to the S3 but good enough.
If for nothing else I hate Iphones for the control they have over what you do with YOUR phone. want to add software that's not approved by Apple? Sorry. Want to add a song that was emailed to you? Sorry. That list goes on & on. On the other hand I'll admit that they make a great product that is very user friendly. The IP5 will outsell the GS3 in the last quarter of this year, probably by a lot.
So S4 does have many features and is very much similar to the S3
So i just made a review on it's features, you should watch it before buying it:

Well the new features that the S4 is bringing will be coming in a software update to the S3, so if you already have the S3 it isn't really worth the upgrade.
It's the best phone you will be able to get... in the world. What do you mean is it worth it lol. But yeah if you have the s3, you might not need to upgrade. As I also have the Note 2, im waiting till the Note 4 comes out.
did he really just point out that the GS4 is just a stretched GS3... -_-
As a GSN2 user, the GS4 is a joke, I'll just wait for these random software upgrades comes to me.

Features one actually uses are the only features worth upgrading phones for. My wife still uses and loves the SGS 2. She has not want for the S3 or Note.
I don't need a 13MP camera. 5 is more than enough. 8 cores? I don't use what I have to it's maximum, except I belive battery life However, I have never used my extra battery on the Note 2 so battery life is plenty as I charge every night whether or not the phone is at 30% or 70%. Gimmicky features don't appeal to me.
Plastic does. Plastic = lighter and with larger and larger screens that is meaningful for me. I would love to see a Note 3 with a 6" screen and not use the Nexus.
The S3 for Note users is likely not worth the upgrade. For S3 users it very well may be. There are some nice additions as well but the N 3 will have them and more gimmicks in a few months.
If iPhone (i call it f*Phone) is being famous just adding 1or 2 new features every time ..and it considered worth upgrade..then why not Galaxy??? While it has every hardware and software is upgraded....
And why you people only comparing it with galaxy s3...whileits independently most advanced device till date with every possible featured

In my case I have been using samsung since captivate and I have no intention of switching brands or even comparing brands. As long as rooting is easy, SD Cards can be used, and batteries are replaceable Samsung gets my money.

Just wanted to see how you guys are liking the device. Do you guys feel satisfied and happy with it? The specs are minimal in terms of an upgrade I feel so I'm having a hard time justifying it.
I'm currently in a position where I can take an upgrade and give my father my S3 (he is using an old Iphone 3g) and purchase an S4 for myself. Of course there is something in the back of my mind that says wait and see what other phones will be released but I guess you can play that waiting game forever in tech.
S4 or HTC one based on ur preference.. Don't see any spectacular phones coming out in the near future.. I upgraded from the s3 and I'm a very satisfied customer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I have had every Galaxy S phone released. When I moved from the s2 to s3, it felt like a BIG upgrade since the screen increased. But the processor didn't "feel" like it was a big upgrade. Now that I have the s4 coming from the s3, it is reversed for me. The screen size was negligible, but the processor is hands down much much faster. It is nice to be on the latest 4.2.2. also, but we know how carriers take forever after the manufacture release an update... so who knows if we'll always be on the latest OS (won't be from ATT ).
I am really happy that I grabbed the s4 after having the s3 for a year. If your itching for an upgrade, the s4 is worth it imo. But if you could hold out, see what Google will release in Oct. (I use that as a marker since the Nexus 4 was announced last Oct.).
I come from the S3 also. At first I didn't really like it, but now with custom ROM's its much snappier and I feel its a great improvement over the S3. The screen clarity is incredible.
That's good to know! I was just afraid I would get the phone and not see any kind of difference. :good:
I might as well bite the bullet and do it since both my father and I will benefit.

How funny, I did the exact the same thing except I used my dads upgrade since he didn't really need an S4. I am really happy with my s4, it seems so much faster than the S3 and I LOVE the screen. I'd say its worth it from the S3 but I am also curious what kind of phones will come out later.

Note 3 in September. And I'm guessing it will come out with KLP
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
My absolute favorite thing about the S4 compared to the S3...is that the S4 has a flat screen like the S2 did. This means that screen protectors dont look crappy and that cases fit better than they did on the S3...
That seriously closed the deal for me.:laugh:
I still have my old i9300 international S3 and my new i337 ATT S4. I'm loving the higher screen resolution. Yes the actual screen size is only a marginal increase, but it's very clear. However, the S3 screen was pretty nice as well and the only reason I can really notice is I have both and can compare them side by side.
My international S3 also doesn't have LTE so that's another thing I really like about my ATT S4.
I don't regret the upgrade, but I wouldn't be put out too much if I had to switch back to my S3 for some reason.
I have both S3 and S4 along with note and note 2.
I see a difference in the CPU. The screen on the s4 looks better in the sun vs the s3. Plus why wait while at is giving u 100 for a trade in. and Walmart gives u a 50$ gift card and it is 30$ cheaper already

similar thing here; GF and i had GS3's, my folks had iPhone 3Gs. we got GS4's, they got GS3's. GF and i both have very sharp eyes and work in similar industries; screen on GS4 is way better. The extra sensors i actually use, and the IR blaster/remote function is fantastic. It will be worth it more for your dad; the iphone 3G is ancient now.

Had the S3 for a week and a half. AT&T employee kept trying to convince me it wasn't worth it. That I would be wasting my money. He couldn't have been so farther from the truth if he tried.
Take the plunge bro, the waters nice and warm right now

I agree with the overall sentiment. The upgrade to the screen is enough to be honest. But it does feel speedier while having slightly better battery life at the same time.
I sold my S3 on swappa and love this S4.
Thanks for the feedback yall, making me feel much better about my decision. Like someone said, my Father will be the real winner hear jumping from an old iphone 3g to the S3!
I also need to look into this deal that I saw get announced today by AT&T about buying a S4 and getting the Galaxy Note 8.0 for $199
The S4 is 3x better than the S3...I still have a s3 and it rocks..but nothing compared to this device.

I actually miss my s3. The paranoid android ROM worked flawlessly on it. I did get my s3 6 months after it came out though so the Roms were running good by then. Right now I'm just using stock rooted. Hopefully something stable is released when the Google edition is out for us.

I have sold my s3 and got a note 2 since december from last year.
The reason i bought such a huge phone was for the s pen. It helped me in college for taking notes, but then ive bought an ipad which can work for the same purpose, except without the s pen.
Nowadays im just not finding the note 2 practical for everyday usage. Its just too big.
So now im Thinking of selling it and either buying either an s4, htc one or xperia z.
Can someone give me feedback on those phones?
I love the design of sony phones, but i also cant live without the features of samsung phones

Why dont you ask in their respective forums about those devices?
And if you don't like it anymore, then sell it and move on!

I wouldn't really recommend any of the devices (I've got my hands on S4, Z and One, FYI) over the Note II. But if the size is bothering you that much, go for S4. It's got almost no bezel, and is nearly the same size as S3. Z is probably my least favorite device of all 3, and it's really a tie between One and S4.
But other than that, many users here have switched back to N2, for the record. From both One and S4.

Personally I would go for the HTC One
It is a stunning looking phone and I personally prefer HTC Sense to TouchWiz. All IMO of course, but if I could turn back time I would have got the One instead of the N7105.
32GB Storage is enough for most people, and the only negative is the non-replaceable super sealed in battery where there's no getting at it without wrecking the rest of the phone. From my experience though, this won't be an issue for the lifespan that you'll have the phone.

This depends though on how biased you may be to a particular company.
As bizarre as it sounds, some grown men actually "support" an electronics company the same way normal people support a sports team.

Logic fail...
why is supporting a sports team considered normal and support a electronics company isn't? In what ways does a sport team have in connection with it's fans? Nothing. People support a sport team so that they have a sense of belonging, thus filling the mid level needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Different people have difference ways of completing that need. Some "grown" men support their country and hence nationalism, some men support their sport team and hence the sporting industry.
In fact, a normal person can have more sense of belonging to a electronic company because they can buy shares of that company and become part owner.
If you want to change to a similar size just wait for the HTC One Max or the Note 3. They'll be here shortly. Even the Xperia Ultra Z looks nice.
However If you feel that Note 2 is big for you, definitely try the HTC one. Its an awesome phone. I bet you wont give up that one easily.
HTC One would be the way to go, or a Nexus 4.
However, out of experience I can tell: you can get used to a phone with big screen such as the Note 2, but the other way around.. Not really. When I take my Nexus in my hands now, it feels like a freaking toy. The Note is just boss. Also Note 2 community is very alive (on XDA and beyond too) and there are many good TW and AOSP roms and kernels out there..
Off the record: I even dare to say I have a better AOSP experience than on my Nexus, why ? 'Cause of the 5,5" display..
I sold my htc one and bought the note 2. I can tell you what i think (pros ans cons)
1 htc one is much faster than note 2 and s4
2 the big screen in the note2 is a pro and con at the same time. "Pro" because ots really great to play games and read and "con" because its hard to handle it with one hand. Also the htc one sreen is much greater than the note 2, looks a lot sharper and better colors
3 the battery of the note2 is really amazing, i have gotten 8hrs screen time while in the htc one i have gotten 6+ hrs screen time but sometimes just 5hrs screen time
4 the camera on both are great, i like the htc camera more because of the functions and the quality is really great
5 the sound of the htc one is simply the best, even better than some laptops trust me!!
6 you can install a sd card in the note2
7 you have spen in the note2 (i dont use it that much so to me its not a big deal)
Im thinking in sale my note2 and get the htc one again but its hard to leave the great battery life i get with the note2 so its your choice mate

Because it's usually sad losers who ramble on online desperately trying to defend their precious brands and these "fanboys" have no shame.
A supporter of a sports team usually isn't the type of loser who portrays a sad and lonely one man crusade online to defend his precious brand name. Dunno what sports you like mate, but I go for a few beers with my mates and then go watch Arsenal. It is completely different to feeling the need to ramble on whenever a company like Apple is mentioned.
The fanboy "iFail, Crapple" type people are all too frequent and pathetic and they need to get a life.
As for the rest of your rant, I tend to find the online or technology "fanboys" to be more cringeworthy than the rest. Maybe they're sociallu awkward and need support the samsung or apple team (whatever that means).
The only logic fail here is you telling the op that the Note 3 is the best even though he already said the note 2 was too big for him. I would hazard a guess this is because you are one of these aforementioned fanboy characters and can't bear to see anyone suggest anything other than the Note

The only logic fail here is you telling the op that the Note 3 is the best even though he already said the note 2 was too big for him. I would hazard a guess this is because you are one of these aforementioned fanboy characters and can't bear to see anyone suggest anything other than the Note
Sad but true

seems like you generalise everything you observe.
What phone would you guys think I should get for my mother as a gift? (she needs a huge upgrade...TRUST me...) I was thinking around the line of a Nexus 4, but I'm open to all suggestions! :cyclops:
I think what she needs is a large screen phone, I'm thinking of 4.3 - 4.7 inch phone (easier to read text). And a simple UI, maybe LG or Samsung. Nexus 4 is a good choice.
I just gave my mother Samsung Galaxy chat, because she was used to blackberry phone, and needed keypad for texting.

I'll second you on the Nexus 4 and also suggest a Galaxy Note.
Ah ok, thanks
Depends on what she needs it for, how tech-savvy she is and what she wants from it.
I got my mum an S3 and she's not let it out of her hands for more than half an hour since, she loves the thing. Was originally going to get her an s4 mini, but she has reading glasses and the screen was too small for her to comfortably read without them. Not to mention the size of the keyboard.

The name that cannot be spoken...
I'm going to agree with ShadowLea about the tech-savvy-ness of your mom...
And as much as I love Android and hate...that Fruit company...have you considered getting your mom an iPh----darn I can't say it.
I mean in terms of what her friends are using.
In terms of reliability.
In terms of ease of use.
In terms of elegance.
In terms of apps that work.
I don't know why I'm saying this, given this is an Android forum, but for parents...it's a whole different state of mind when it comes to using tech.
If she has a problem, you won't have to fix it or troubleshoot (unless you want to), she can take it to the Appl- store and they could explain it to her real patiently.
I know that this is a big thing with me and my mom, I get really impatient explaining tech to her (which I know is my bad).
my 2 cents
iPho-- has too small screen..I think nexus 4 is a better choice!
