First and foremost i need to know if always online is a requirement to play games. If yes than i wont buy it no matter if it can cook for me. Until MS answer this simple question i cant really take in the other news. This factor simply kills everything else. I truly hate to be dependent on internet for playing my games and i hope everyone else do the same to send over the message that we dont want to be MS slaves. I already pre-order my PS4 but i will wait for my xbox pre-order until this is clear.
Some of the features people call gimmick is actually very useful, also some reviewed ehum on verge are lousy when it comes to testing. I just tested the air gesture for page up and down in the browser, it works flawless! You shouldnt flap your arm like a bird, i used my finger in a natural position and boy it was eye opener to see how small things like that can make a huge difference.
Same with the smart wake when you pull your hand over the phone and it shows you the time. There are lots of things like that which i find very useful. And why do people complain over features? its not like HTC where they force you to use the features (their newsfeed that take over your homescreen). You can always turn them off.
The extra features together with the quick software update is what makes me love the Galaxy really. Ok the design + SD is also awesome i think. I like being able to change the back cover.

I got to say your video and review pretty sucks. Your obsessed with aluminum and you complain about to many features? You dont need to use them so why had them in the bad stuff category?
Also you dont use the right, dont bloody wave your hand like a moron and say it dont work well! I used it for browsing page up/down with my finger and its flawless.
And most people dont want aluminum that dents and scratches super easy. S4 has a great quality feel to it. No its not made of a metal for a reason! You get SD/removable battery and its super light. I dont want aluminum in S4. It sells 10 time more than HTC One so i’m guessing most people agree with that.
