Another review (comparing to the HTC Google device)....found this between screen refreshes of the Google Play Store.

damn no color choices.

 

[spridell]

interestingly enough all of the sensors are still included.

I wonder how they will be used.

I don't see it either when I go on play store. Use the link on Engadget to get to the page.

One of the footnotes says "MicroSD card only compatible with select third party applications. Not compatible with Google services." Does that mean you can't make the phone use the SD card for taking photos/video?

Can someone confirm the S4 GE will work with T-mobile if your not in their LTE or farmed out areas?

Google Play edition HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 now on sale! | Android Central

used that link and it worked. I was sure I was going to get the s4, but the early reviews already state the one is faster

Expected to ship July 9th....lol

 

[mlbc]

What the......?????
Google Plays status is 'SHIPS SOON'....'soon' in Google-time means 'Ships by July 9, 2013'

 

[frageelay]

Got mine! Hope it's worth the stress of dealing with Google playing retailer...

 

[kgbkny]

Ordered. Hopefully, it'll ship before July 9.

 

[kjnangre]

Ordered mine too

 

[mattopotamus]

I am surprised by the late ship date. Hopefully they are over-estimating to be on the safe side.

So I got the impression in watching the dev. conference that there would be two options at the Play store, an ATT version and a T-Mobile version....then you'd click on the one you wanted based on your carrier. I'm assuming the lack of this option means this phone is fully compatible with BOTH carriers AWS bands? Called to confirm this but the Play store rep didn't really seem to know for certain. Cause if that full compatibility isn't there, data speeds won't be what they should be.

yes, they work on both GSM carries (att and tmobile)

I noticed that the CPU listed for the Galaxy S4 Google Edition is the Qualcomm Snapdragon? S4 Pro. The HTC One GE lists the CPU as Qualcomm? Snapdragon? 600. Has the GE GS4 received a CPU downgrade? I wasn't aware of a GS4 with a S4 Pro CPU. The S4 pro is the same CPU in the Nexus 4. Is it just a typo on the webpage? I sure hope so.

*EDIT* Google has updated the page and changed the CPU to the Qualcomm? Snapdragon? 600

Yes they will work with both carriers but will they support the aws band is the question.

If no aws band and your not in a lte zone yet this phone will be pretty much crap with speeds.

We need to have this confirmation

Interesting catch! I'd have to hope that's merely someone missing that edit when (likely) carrying over the specs from the Nexus 4, as you mentioned.

The bands each one supports are listed in the tech specs.
