Surprised not to see a post on here about this. What do people think?
The phone will have an 8 core chip although apparently not in the US, not sure why. A lot think this will be overkill and I do wonder if it will effect the battery life although I know the battery has been improved for the phone.
A lot of talk has been on the phones new eye tracking feature that allows content to scroll down automatically - e.g. reading text the page would scroll down with you. Also looking away from a video would pause it. It's an interesting idea but I wonder if it will be tricky to use as while reading something you may easily glance down making it scroll. The good thing is that the feature can be turned off.
It has NFC and I believe will support wireless charging.
A lot of people think the phone looks too similar to the S3, with simply the screen made larger, the S4'S being 5 inch, too big for a lot of people (which will mean we will get a s4 mini). This does make me wonder though as the iPhones always look similar each new model and yet seem to get praised design wise by the fans.
I'm not sure if It's a phone I will get. I am still on the s2 at the moment as I got a good contract deal from Tesco as I work there along with the phone for free. I may try the phone out and see how it is to hold and use size wise, as I'm not sure if 5 inch would be too big for me. I may even upgrade to the s3 when my contract ends near the end of this year.
