TheVerge - Years ago, people either bought an iPhone or “a Droid." Verizon’s marketing power, those insane robot ads, and maybe that just-close-enough naming convention made the carrier's Android phones virtually synonymous with their operating system.
The Samsung settlement is for just under $14 million dollars, but only $2.8 million is actually going to consumers.
The Galaxy S4, in its day, was a pretty capable smartphone. However, with its fourth birthday fast approaching, its update period has long since passed.
It was everything we ever wanted – a high-end smartphone from one of the world’s biggest Android OEMs, without the crapware known as the younger version of TouchWiz. At Google I/O in 2013, Google announced the first two models in the Google Play Edition lineup of devices, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition.
Not a bad score,.... Compared to the IGN's.
The IGN score makes more sense. Anyone angry over it should be deemed a fanboy.
I hate the constant complaints about the plastic and the reviewers idea of what premium is. If you don't like it then there are other phones but me and many others absolutely love it. It makes the phone sooo much lighter, its still very durable and it allows for easy swappable batteries.
I don't get the point of an S4 tbh. Just upgrade to a Note 2. Screen is .5" bigger, u get a bigger battery, and a optional stylus pen to use. Otherwise exact same phone.
Am I missing something here?
