I "almost" purchased the s4 today.. Walked in thinking I was going to purchase but hesitated thinking I'd miss the simplicity of the iphone (4s). I went from a s2 to iphone just because I bought a macbook and everything just worked together so easily. But the problem with the 4S is the small screen and slow as fuck internet. Now I don't know.. I also have a Nexus 7. So I'm not shy to the android way. I just have no damn clue, about what I should do.

S2 to 4s isnt much of an upgrade lol. you could have just bought a 4s cheaper on craigslist or something rather than retail price of a contract or such. should have gotten a note 2, s4, or i5 at least

Sorry I wrote that wrong. I went to an 4s about a year ago now before the 5 was released. Didn't buy anything yesterday. Still trying to decide if I should upgrade to sgs4 or not. The note2 is too big. The i5 isn't enough of an upgrade in my eyes to buy to replace the 4s. Basically wondering if anyone regrets purchasing the s4?

Coming from an iPhone 4, I have no regrets.

No regrets upgrading from s3 the biggest concern was the battery life and the s4 is great in that department where 5 hours ago my buddy was at 30 % battery for the day I'm just getting there now after texting emailing browsing all day and a few phone calls

yes u should upgrade..
I had iphone 3gs.. 4.. 4s.. 5..
and the samsung galaxy s4 is the fastest phone I ever had..
both my iPhone 5 and gs4 have LTE.. but the gs4 is A LOT faster when I'm browsing websites..
iphone 5 definitely feels and looks more like a premium product though..
Here's my speedtest on the gs4..  Posted via RS Mobile | |

yea epic speeds too on that note. What I don't like is the CPU speed can actually be faster than what stock is offered. Waiting on bootloader unlock and roots coming out soon then I can see the full potential of this device

Keep seeing commercials about the s4..... Sort of what one now but feel like I should wait to see what apple offers next. My 4s isn't something I can't bare with

Whoa! Google's Selling a Pure Android Samsung Galaxy S 4 on Google Play
YOU GUYS! Google just announced at I/O that it's going to be selling a Samsung Galaxy S 4, unlocked, with stock Android, on Google Play starting June 26. Just to pick out the important words for you: "STOCK" "ANDROID" "GALAXY S 4."
The phone will be unlocked GSM, so it'll run on AT&T or T-Mobile (suck it, Verizon), and be the LTE version. It's the 16GB version (expandable), and is bootloader unlocked, you know, for the nerds. Best of all? It's going to get "prompt" updates for every new version of Android.
The not best part? It's $650.
It's a huge step towards stifling Android fragmentation; too many premium phones have had updates stalled out because of bulky skins put in place by manufacturers. This S IV, though, abandons all of Samsung's TouchWiz bells and whistles for the clean, clear usability of stock Android. Expensive? Sure. But it's a small price to pay for a roadmap of how Google might make sure that when you're buying and Android phone, you're also buying all the latest and greatest improvements that come with it.
