Gotta agree with that tbh, despite the density, the 4s looks cacka compared to an s3.

I love my Galaxy S4, it is the best phone money can buy without a doubt. It pisses all over the iPhone and that's from someone who has been an loyal iPhone fan from the very start in 2007.
I try not to get into these sorts of debates but honestly, anyone who thinks the iPhone is better is kidding themselves on.

My only single complaint with android is the lack of mass storage device transfer which means you can't plug it into a headunit USB easily. New headunits using MTP are few and far between

Ant already knows this to be fair, but he's too much of a fanboy to agree.

Quite hilarious that you compare Samsungs latest iPhone killer with the 4s, mines still rocking apps that Android can't handle at two years old. The 4s really is the best mobile device that's ever been made, give your Galaxy a couple of years see if the latest HTC is being compared to it. Doubt it.

You could try it with a usb otg cable, i can run dac units fine.

I know alpine have just released a new headunit that supports bluetooth and possibly mtp.

Collected my s4 today, Fantastic piece of kit up to press. Far better than the iphone i had.

Only gripe I have is the charger cable isnt long enough same as apple.

The samsung watch on controls my samsung tv an absolute treat.
Not found much yet that it cant do.
well impressed

Never had time to make it into a shop to have a look but how much bigger is the s4 as compared to the s3? I would be waiting a couple of months for the prices to drop before I even considered buying one but is it worth getting one?

Can you move apps from the phone to an external sd card with the s4 as that's a big fail with the s3 In my opinion.


If you do have an s4 make sure you get some decent protection on it as it doesn't do too well in drop tests.

I have had the two layers of glass replaced for £140.00, a mere £124 cheaper than Sony's "official" repair jockeys.

So whilst looking for a decent case last night I noticed there is a new Xperia Z on the market, the Ultra.............with a 6.4 inch screen where will it end

It's actually extremely interesting, but only if you're bright enough to understand the nuances of the sport... if not you're best sticking to 'Apple is best, no Android is best. no Apple is best, no Android is best... repeat until dead' type threads on SN

Come on. I do know the nuances of the sport, but it's still boring to watch. Lets face it the British GP for example was only vaguely interesting due to the tyre feckups by Pirelli last weekend and now the German GP potentially won't even take place The only time I remember it being exciting where in the turbo days when the drivers actually had to drive the cars and overtaking was an actual skill. None of this DRS dross to overcome the impossibility of overtaking due to the aero.

You find it boring, I don't. No worries

In much the same way I come in here hoping we have some interesting threads about new tech yet it is the same old Apple/Android b1tchfest featuring the same old posters.... you enjoy it, I find it boring... c'est la vie!
