What DON't You Want to See on the S4?

**scaryhumor** · 02-25-2013, 11:56 AM

I'm still so happy with my S3, I don't know what they could offer in the S4 to make me want to pay the ETF to get it. I'm only 8 months into my current 2 year contract.

What I wouldn't want:
A bigger screen.
Features that only work together with other S4's
A thicker case, even if it means a bigger/better battery
Weight is not an issue, except when I drop it on my hardwood floor.

I hope there is some discussion as to what will be in Key Lime Pie.

Do we know what the cost is rumored to be for the S4?

**Subliminal** · 02-25-2013, 01:10 PM

I DON'T WANT TO SEE TOUCHWIZ OR A PHYSICAL HOME BUTTON!

lol...but I'm sure it'll have it all.

I DON't want it to murder me in my sleep

Based on previous releases, the individual carriers will anounce that, within a few days to ride the coat tails of Samsung's announcement. My guess, the magical $199 (32 gb) - $249 (64 gb) range.

Well, case material should not be plastic as now. need inovational design for S4.

**chgoflip10** · 02-25-2013, 01:25 PM

I don't want to see the PLASTIC build first and foremost and also physical HOME & capacitive buttons below at the bottom of the screen. A not-so-clean look of the TouchWiz UI, but I may be asking too much

I dont want to see HUGE verizon logos or stupid verizon bloatware!!

**maerlim** · 02-25-2013, 01:29 PM

I don't want to see a physical home button (or any buttons), and I don't want to see a different processor in the US (LTE) versions.

**scaryhumor** · 02-25-2013, 01:40 PM

I would LOVE to see the nfc commands automatically toggle on and off when placing on, and removing from a tag.

Samsung galaxy s4 without key lime pie..

**jeffreii** · 02-25-2013, 01:56 PM

What I DON'T want to see:

4.1.2 (4.2 or higher please!)
Snapdragon 600 (800 please!)
Adreno 320 (see above, 330 please!)
Physical home button
Even bigger Touchwiz (it'd be nice if they really de-bloated Touchwiz)
Same competitive but not great Galaxy S3 camera
16 GB version - follow HTC's lead and go 32GB and up
Trendy metal/other back that prevents removable battery/microsd

Pentile display.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but from what I read the SIV will have a home button. Let's hope I'm wrong...

I don't want any physical or capacitive buttons. On screen only please.
Current TouchWhiz look and feel which is based on froyo/gingerbread. Please evolve TouchWhiz to follow the Holo guidelines. I am tired of seeing the gingerbread header bars on menus and gallery. Icon scaling needs serious work as well as the dialer and notification toggels take up way too much room.
Any version of android pre-4.2.2
Pentile display. Sure at high res its not as noticeable, but I swear the non-pentile GS2 had far better color accuracy than the GS1 or GS3. It will never be LCD levels of accuracy, but a little closer to true color would be nice.
Lack of wireless charging built in. Nothing irritates me more than the broken promise of a Samsung wireless charging back for me GS3 and I can't find a 3rd party blue option anywhere.
16GB storage. Seriously is it still 2009? No flagship series phone should come with less than 32GB anymore.

**flyguydip** · 02-25-2013, 02:36 PM

Verizons tramp stamp all over the front and back. Or the constant notifications about switching to wifi. I wouldn't want any android version lower than 4.2.2. No integrated battery. Must have expandable storage with minimum 32 gb. No proprietary cables. Needs to have sim card. No carrier software.

**cliffy223** · 02-25-2013, 02:53 PM

Well I would hope with the amount of money Samsung profited from the S2 and the S3 that they would some of that money into better materials instead of plastic. To me the S4 will be good no matter what they do.

**Kenn Brown** · 02-25-2013, 02:59 PM

We pretty much agree on this topic, no more cheap plastic housing, No physical HOME button, and please NO S-PEN should be placed on the S4.

**flyguydip** · 02-25-2013, 03:12 PM

I don't mind a physical button or even capacitive. I figure, if I bought a phone with a giant display, then I want to use the entire display for content, not navigation. But if there is going to be a physical button, don't you dare tattoo that verizon crap all over it.

I think of it like a TV. I don't buy a tv with an advertized size of 50" but 46" viewable because there are onscreen buttons or some crap like that. I buy a 50" tv knowing that when I watch a movie, i'm going to get 50" of sweet resolution!

**fatboy97** · 02-25-2013, 03:16 PM

This is what I think it must have:
- SD Card slot (don't care what they include in it, I can always get a bigger one)
- Removable battery

I'm going to be paying FULL price since I want my grandfather Unlimited Data Plan, so I don't care about the discounted price.

**ankiankita** · 02-25-2013, 03:19 PM

i want it so be sleek , elegant, best & not to expensive, plus i need a strong battery life!

Welcome Kenn.
What are you looking for? Aluminum? Carbon fiber?
Can live with the home button.
S pen, does not bother me, as long as it does not increase the size of the phone. I can think of a couple times I would have liked to have one.
