  Working currently for Vodafone and got the chance to handle the new Samsung and I have to say that it is pretty impressive with a really nice clear screen and a very quick OS .
  The automatic scroll that it does when your eyes get to the bottom of the screen is not only impressive but really a good thing making the use of it for forums and other sites like facve book a much better experience .

  im really looking forward to the release of this phone i think it will rock the smartphone market just like the s3 did. apple havent made a better phone that the s3 in my opinion i dont rate the iphone 5 in anyway shape or form. its gonna be nice to see i think a hex core processor in the phone so it should run very smoothly and would also like to see the eye scroll feature. i love my s3 so i would love to see all the good feature the s4 will bring to the table

  On paper and looking at some pictures it looks like it's an amazing handset, though I'll have to test it hands-on because I think the new features are a bit too 'gimmicky'. If they work really good then that's amazing, but I'm not sure if it will.
  
  Bencat, how well did the eye scrolling work, was their lagg and was it totally accurate? Also did you test anything else out?
  
  Cheers

  Sorry this reply is a little late work some really long and awkward shifts now and o not get time to get on here asmuch as i want to. The eye scrolling was really very impressive and felt very natural for speed just pushing the page up as you got to the last line. As there was a good few others at the demo it was hard to get too much of a test of the handset . May be having a full training session on it next week if i do will get my thoughts down on here .

  It's going to be a great piece of hardware, but to people that have the S3 or a current gen phone ask yourself do you really need it? I mean it's got 8 cores which is great but it's a phone at the end of the day and if you have an s3 that should be fast enough, I've never had a problem with mine and don't see the point of upgrading. Unless of course you're upgrading from a blackberry/nokia :D

  That's interesting, I read up on how the eight cores work and its basically two quad processors. On daily use like texting, playing music and web browsing only one quad core is active, but with more demanding use like gaming, both processors become active. Seems to be a good concept, and will be good for your battery life too I guess.
  
  On the topic of whether more cores are needed, at this stage.. No. However I think they need to introduce more memory (RAM) to smartphones! With newer features, apps and tools are continuously running in the background, so they need alot of memory to keep running efficiently. For instance on my HTC One X (Quad core and 1GB memory) there is always constantly 850MB memory taken up with no applications running. So the operating system is taking up nearly all of the memory constantly with causes my phone to lagg alot.
  
  Stuck between the HTC One and this for an upgrade!

  I totally agree on that, 8 cores let alone 4 cores is not needed on a phone at this time, I mean how much power does a phone really need? What ground breaking software will the release that needs to use that much power. I use my phone for messaging, casual browsing and calling. I rarely play games even if I do I don't play high end games, that's why I have a PC/console.
  
  So personally I don't see the point of having an over powered phone and people paying over 400 pounds for it.

  I see the presentation of this phone and i see live from one of my friend that have it.. It is a very beautiful phone with 5 inches of screen(0.2 more of Galaxy s3) with sensor that allow you of slide a page with only the movement of your eyes and all the comforts of the last Galaxy s3.. I recommend it for all that like Samsung Galaxy phones!! ;)

  The S5 is out in a few months, people would be better off waiting for that
