Was looking forward to this, but frankly, am seriously underwhelmed...

S6 will be much better...

[eek]

What exactly were you expecting?

Or put another way what is missing from the S3/S4 that you really need.

Isn't about time they went all retro and released tablet sized phones

These incremental upgrades are getting a bit stale, they're isn't a compelling reason to upgrade till your phone is too slow to run the latest apps

Well, based on the hype and speculation (a premium metal & a non-premium plastic version, as one example of rumours - they seem to have stayed with plastic btw) I was expecting something a bit 'wow' tbh...or is it a case that we're all expecting just too much with each new version, and smartfone technology has reached a ceiling & the 'wow'ing is over?

I haven't upgraded for about 18 months, but having seen a few people with the HTC One and the S4 I prefer the HTC. Looking at previews of the S5 and upcoming HTC it looks like similar differences - Samsung having a bit more technical shizzlewhiz, but the HTC just seeming better somehow.

I think I might go for the HTC One 2 (or M8 or whatever they call it) when it comes out, but I'll wait for the full details.

Goodness I'd be embarrassed to pull that ugly thing out of my pocket at the client's site.

What no 120fps HD movie mode? I'm out...
