the only reason stopping from buying Samsung is not the OS or the internal hardware but the build quality of the phone. Maybe, if you are a person that sit on a chair all day long in a office, Samsung phone is OK but if you are constantly on the go... no way man! Sony or Nokia. Nothing else! At least until Samsung changes that.

The day samsung loses its physical button.. Is when apple first remove their home button.

The day u will get 32 gb minimum storage .. Is when apple first dich their 16gb version iPhones.

You just need to observe what apple releases, and samsung will follow thru the same..

One more example yet to come.. Samsung galaxy note 8 .. Copy ipad mini with thin side bezel and physical button lol... It never occur to them how sexy samsung tab 7.7 was...

at this point i think samsung should fix battery get wireless charging and make ther frame more durable i own a s3 and n8 i never really take my s3 out the case cause i know how easy it can brake i think samsung should use way better quality hopefully this changes and to each his own i dont bah now one fo ther choice of phone or operating systems each has ther perks iphone (i would never get one but ) i respect the for a clean os does not need monster power to run more efficient then andriod and since the new iphone 5 they can survive drop android ur more free to do wat u want windows at the moment has nokia so i think everyone has ther choice 2013 is suppose big for the mobile world not only must phones get faster they also should get smarter stronger (waterproofing i thik should b a must or all flagships) n e ways to each his own

when you don't have physical keys you lose part of your screen and it is stupid to have 440ppi screen and part of this fantastic display to be used only for keys

PS: S3 and Note look good ;)

They'll keep the home button forever if iPhone keeps the home button. Copycats... SAMSUNG designs are always motivated to make like an iPhone.
