I certainly hope those aren't real. I love the look of the curved design of the S3 and Note 2.

And congrats on 601 btw :p

Yea, it's interesting. They'd be returning to the form factor of the S2 in some ways.

I like the curves too cause it makes it easier to wield one handed and is just more comfortable overall ergonomically.
 
1st leaks :D

Samsung Galaxy S4: case leaks give rough idea of phone’s shape, TouchWiz camera getting Photo Sphere-esque feature

Looks like a big Galaxy S2 :eek:
 
I really wish they would add stereo speakers on this. I really miss then from my old Nokias
 
I went from the S3 to the Note 2 and I LOVE it. Probably the best phone I have ever owned. However, if the rumors are true that the Note 3 will have a 6.3 inch screen, I will have to pass as that would be too big. At that point, I would be getting the S4 instead.
 
Didn't realise it was that close! Event added to my calendar :D

Edit: wait isn't it the 14th?

I've heard both dates actually. I'll be passing down my S3, and using my upgrade for the S4. It seems like this might be akin to an "S" upgrade similar to the iPhone. But with a 13mp camera, 1080p non pentile display, and Samsungs new Exynos octa-core processor I'll be happy. :D
 
I am most defiantly waiting. I am tempted to purchase the note II, but I'm hoping the Galaxy S4 comes with similar features (S-Pen...etc.). I am the holder of the iPhone 5 since 4 months and already regretting it. So I can not wait for March 14th!!!

The s4 won't have a s-pen.

I agree with Dmay....that is a major feature that separates the two devices. If they make the s4 the same thing as the note, just a smaller screen they will cannibalize the note market or vice versa.
 
I'll take a serious look at it. My contract is up in May and I feel my iPhone 4S is behind the times. I just wish Samsung didn't make their phones out of plastic. I'll be looking at the HTC One has well. If Apple would just give me my choice of default apps, I'd stay and be happy. But we'll see what iOS 7 brings.
 
This is easily the best year for smartphones, thus far.

I mean, look at the following:

Sony Xperia Z
HTC One
Samsung Galaxy S IV
Samsung Galaxy Note III
iPhone 5S
Nexus 5 (if not X Phone)
Motorola X Phone

All, if not most with 1080p screens, quad core processors, wireless charging (a MUST for me) , 8-13 mega-pixel cameras, etc...

My front runner is the S4, followed by the Nexus 5, and if the X phone somehow managed to shock me (haven't felt Motorola up to this point) I wouldn't mind giving it a honest try either.

The iPhone isn't even really a consideration, the Note scribble lines after awhile would drive me crazy, the Sony reviews seem to be a tad on the unfavorable side, plus no wireless charging, the HTC One still could be a consideration.

The ones listed above S4>Nexus 5>X Phone are my top 3 considerations however.

Exciting times are shortly ahead!!!

I agree. I do find myself drawn to that Sony Xperia, but will wait it out a bit to look at the S4. :)

Pretty much how i feel but i will also look at the LG Optimus G Pro as well. I havent heard about wireless charging for any of them though. If it comes with it then great but i wont buy a wireless charger. Dont really care about it.
