Am i the first one to state the obvious: who cares what the device is made of!!! The vast majority of samsung and iphone users have cases on there phones, and done rally notice the material its made of. Were talking about de oces that cost over half a grand without rebates (well over that in the case of the iphone 5). Youd be stupid not to put a case on it. It doesnt matter how resilient the device is, they break. I was horrified to watch my new iphone 4 fall from my gym locker just weeks after it was released (thankfully apple replaced the screen for $100). After that ill never keep a phone without a case. In general i never see people with bare iphone of s3s. So why does anyo e really care what there phone is made of. Unless you really want to admit your phone isnt about functionality, but i jst a status symbol.
If focusing on services means integrating more or less useless apps into OS, then they have not disappointed me: they remained good old Samsung...
What amazes me is how Apple allows them to place series of product lines without any clue of whatsoever, when Apple should be game changer and product line introduces. It is a great shame for Apple that they lure customers out with such vain company like Samsung, loosing long-term market share over it...

I don't consider myself stupid, and indeed have dropped my 5 (bought without subscription, paid $1170) yet don't put it in a case. I think they all are made of plastic or leather. Besides, what's the point of a thin phone if you're going to put it in a case where it becomes thicker?

Sorry , but you are very wrong here. I work in a team of developers, not small, where only 2 phones are represented: iPhone and Galaxy. ALL EXCEPT ONE Galaxy don't have original screen glass that is not broken. Samsung owners are not exclusively prone to drop their phones on hard surfaces. THeir phones break in pockets as well, where iPhones doesn't.
If you pay a great deal of money on portable device, physical quality DOES matter..

Cases on iPhone give protection agains scratching and other physical damage by dropping. They don't need protection against bending. Plastic phones do, but there is no acceptable size rigid protective case that can beat iPhone unibody design. iPhone glass will not break by bending. iPhone are of unprecedented physical quality.
I'll say! I dropped it, 3 feet onto a marble floor. It has a little dent on the top, right, back, only noticeable if I show it to someone. The phone is a brick, and I mean that in a good way! And how I love the headphone jack at the bottom; I don't need to flip over the phone when I take it out of my running shirt during a bicycle ride.
Function should always dictate form and in the case (quite literally) of Samsung's Galaxy series of devices, the use of Polycarbonate allows for devices that are lightweight, impact resistant, durable and more efficient to manufacture.
I guess you missed the dropping test video compared the durability of iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII, by the guys from Android blog nonetheless. It's a shame that your spin is just fall flat on the face.

IPad, 1st Gen.
Dropped three foot off a table dresser onto this TV stand.
Left a gouge in the wood about 4mm deep.
And the iPad?
Not a damn scratch.
A slam-dunk device, for sure ¡

Pathetic declarations, which indeed do not deserve site coverage ...
But at second thought, somewhat funny to see what Apple competitors can invent to justify their poor design choices.
In that respect, I look forward to Ballmer's statements about Microsoft Surface future ....
You are soul, Dennis Miloseski you ARE SOUL, Samsung has plenty like you.

btw, here is a picture of a Sony Xperia Z taking a picture of your post, a phone that is every bit as good as the Samsung Galaxy S4.
5" 1920x1080 screen - check
12 Megapixel camera - check
Quad core & LTE - check
Eleventy Billion in marketing - doh!
It's in my hand now and I can sell them now.
No lump at the back where the camera is.
Dropping it in water won't kill it.
Wow. Sony phone taking a picture of a Microsoft product, displayed on a Samsung screen. Quality post ¡

It's not a fork, it's a "hub".

...only if you don't want LTE.
Remember when LTE was the reason Android phones were better than iPhones?
And don't forget that you can only ever use 4 of the cores at any on time.

Rename the site if this is what it's changing to.
There is such a possibility of not visiting a site you don't like, rather than demanding a change.
