"For the Galaxy S 4 16GB model, approximately 6.85GB occupies [the] system part of internal memory, which is 1GB bigger than that of the Galaxy S3, in order to provide high resolution display and more powerful features to our consumers. To offer the ultimate mobile experience to our users, Samsung provides [a] microSD slot on Galaxy S 4 for extension of memory."

Which is useless unless what you want to store is media.

Thanks for giving us less than we pay for, Samsung.  Very kind of you.

Where are the Samsung fanbois who rip into Apple for their “lack of innovation?”

I was horrified watching this ad (before they pulled it).  I can’t believe someone at Samsung okayed this one before it was released.  It made me feel bad, sad, and I wanted to just hug my cats.
What idiot thought this was a good ad?  Put cute sad faces on the computers, then torture them!?!
What a tone deaf bunch of schmucks.

T-Mobile Announces The Galaxy S Relay 4G, QWERTY Keyboard And All | | TmoNewsTmoNews

The “Galaxy S Relay 4G.”

Sorry, but whomever is naming these things needs to be shot.  It’s like they have to get the 4G, Product Line, and a catchy corny name into every product name.

No wonder they copy Apple; they have no idea what simple and elegant mean.
