I saw recent polling that said up to 35% of Samsung users would jump to iPhone if it had a bigger screen. Brushed metal or not, you can't polish a turd.
is thought to bring an all-metal construction.... The metal build seems to be confirmed via high-resolution press shots published by@evleaks, but it is possible that Samsung will merely use a textured plastic to simulate an aluminum finish.
Yeah, texture + paint = cheapo phone that will start flaking chips of metallic paint making the user look like the tightwad s/he is.
But possible that Samsung will merely use a textured plastic to simulate an aluminum finish.?... But possible marble But possible fake marble look But possible carbon But possible fake carbon look But possible diamond But possible fake diamond But possible wood But possible fake wood look
"guard against" in the title seems to suggest a defensive move. A better defensive move would be if they went 64-bit, which I still haven't heard any rumor of (unless you count the vaporware-like reactionary "oh, we'll have that too" statements Samsung and others have been tossing out ever since iPhone 5S was announced).
I'm just not sure changing the material of the case will do that much when it only brings it to parity, rather than differentiating.
It won't stop Samsung buyers from buying iPhones, but it may stop Android users from buying iPhones...

You can't ask them to leave a competitive market and then in the next breath appreciate the competition they bring to that market.
BTW, One Samsung's core competencies IS consumer/business electronics. Semiconductors is just a part of that.
(Their Land Construction and Ship Building are also pretty huge... no one is asking them to just build container ships).
Remove the physical home button, the pulse scanner on the back, and replace TouchWiz with a different launcher and that phone would start looking pretty good. In its current form, I'll pass.
Does this mean that Samsung will have to price this F-line higher than the already premium GS5? I know the GS5 has been out for a few months now, but yikes, nothing like having a phone depreciate quickly.

Why would they call it "Galaxy F" when a name like Galaxy 6 invites comparison with the "iPhone 6?"?
F is the sixth letter of the alphabet
They're not going to call it the Galaxy F, that is the worst name for a phone ever.
They're going to call it the Galaxy 6, the iGalaxy 6, or the iPhone-like Galaxy 6, or the iSamsung 6.

Check out the names of some of their other phones.

I particularly like: Galaxy Fame Lite Duos
Why would they call it "Galaxy F" ...?
That was answered earlier in the comments, by jungmark:
Galaxy Fail?

It's just resting.
No no! They're pining!

Who’s desperate now, Fandroids?
Maybe it will use Android FROYO.
Because lawsuits.

Given Samsungss warnings to 'analysts', & Woz's rejection of their Galaxy Gear watch, I don't think Apple has anything to fear.
Now they care about being sued?
2 billion in the hole with more on the way and some import bans?
...
I personally hope they don’t care, but I just want to see it compound on them.
