Too soon to tell.
Remember Sony Xperia S aosp project?

Google drop out of Xperia S aosp project because some binary coding issue. Now with the Galaxy S4 did they get over those hurdles that they faced in Xperia S project? It seems they did but at a caveat which is not updated immediately like Nexus device is.
After listening to the Google I/0 Edition AC podcast discussing briefly Galaxy S4 and painted picture of skepticism. The reason skepticism is warranted because how vague and short the announcement of this device was. Another issue I have is what is point of this devices and where does Google want take this concept. What does Google have to gain from this?
And how does Google plan to use the S4's extra sensors?

Price tag aside, this is a monster phone. The hardware Samsung brings with the smooth, clean UI of 4.2.2 with updates straight from Google. It covers the complaints from Nexus owners by having removable storage and LTE. It also covers the complaints on the Samsung side because Touchwiz is gone and it should ship with 12-13GB of internal storage available.
On paper, it's peerless. Understandably, though, people might not want to pay that price for it. It's just ridiculous we even get to choose. Kudos to Google and Samsung for that opportunity.
The hardware and the expandablity of the hardware is plus. However how many features and sensors are rendered useless because stock android does not have or use the hardware inside the Galaxy S4. We still don't know if the updates are coming from Google or Samsung regardless the updates are not immediate. This device in some ways may turn out to have same fate as Nexus Q. The Nexus Q touched on already developed idea but could not expanded in more cost effective and practical matter. I feel this Galaxy S4 has been announced today. If the device sells well for Google and Samsung which will be a marginal dismal increase in profit. Google and android is about innovation and not quite seeing picture with the Galaxy S4. In end it to soon to tell but I am hoping a lot more.

Not only that, but does AOSP even support SD card storage anymore? If not, how's that going to work?
And people thought there was going to be an "Official" LTE Nexus 4, I would say the S4 is a good choice.
anyone have a link to the spec sheet? I just want to see if the full T-Mobile and ATT HSPA and LTE frequencies are covered.
The unlocked ATT iPhone5 for example cannot access TMobile's full HSPA+ frequency.
