Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition

[JeffDenver]

It just sucks becuase I'm stuck on Verizon. If it weren't for VZW I would be out in a moment's notice.

I just paid $190 for my termination fee to get them out of my life forever last week. It was an awesome investment.

When I spoke to them about canceling they said $350 per account, how'd you manage $190?

What does this mean for the Nexus line in general? Does it make more sense to have Google editions of existing hardware? A lot of people wanted to see a Nexus 5 - isn't that kinda what this is?

Have they announced whether its snapdragon or Exynos powered?

I'm not on a contract right now. But was about to resign up.

Can we merge all these threads?

The only thing that would be a loss for the AOSP version over TW is the loss of the awesome camera features in the TW version.

I believe they are now required to prorate the termination fee for however many months are left on your contract. My fee to end my T-mobile contract 2 months early would have only been $50 (but since I'm still waiting for the Verizon S4, I didn't have to do it).

It means "nothing" regarding the Nexus line. Consider it a developer addition available from the Play Store. It's most definitely not the N5.

I've really enjoyed (elsewhere) reading people downplaying this. If you thought the One/S4 thing was bad before, it'll most likely get a lot worse. At least it's entertaining.

At $649.00 its only $20 more than you would pay for the TMO S4 at their new uncarrier pricing ($149.00 down +$20 for 24 months = 480. 480 + 149 = $629)....

Hey guys, quick question... been with apple since the 1st iphone and now making the switch to s4 with verizon.....what the big difference with the Google edition compared to the s4 i have on pre-order?...Will a first android user even be able to tell the difference? Whats the benefits with the Google edition if i just plan on keeping everything stock, maybe use a 3rd party launcher here and there?

They deduct $10/month from $350 for each month you honor the contract.

WHY WASN'T THE ONE CHOSEN!!?!?

IT'S THE ONE!! IT'S MADE FROM ALUMINUM!!!!!!

Or something like that.

Almost verbatim. I'd be curious to see the reaction if it was the One instead of the S4, but such is life.

So now comes the obvious question...who is going to return their new 32GB S4 and wait for the Google 16GB version?

Me, personally I'm sticking with my 32GB and hoping that the image for the google version can be flashed on it

 

[Google4Lifee]

Andoird 4.3... its real. it showed up on server logs. Why not at i/o?

 

[smooth4lyfe]

Does this version have the Snapdragon processor? or the Exynos processor?

 

[STC09]

Awesome idea - if only it were on a network I'd consider using.

 

[scorpiodsu]

I would think it'll have snapdargon given that it's going to be sold for AT&T and T-mobile networks here. That would be just wrong if that put a Exynos octa on it LOL.
