I think I must be one of the few that doesn't find it a big deal. I do agree that Android phones that run in the spot light need 32gb minimum OR be able to install apps to SD card from the off.

I don't think the issue is primarily with Samsung, but the issue is one that falls at Google's door. They need to allow apps, all apps, to be installed to memory card. Even Symbian can do that.

It's the same on Windows phone but luckily Nokia even on budget phones makes them with at least 8 gig internal memory. Nokia though has made it possible too now to keep map data onto SD cards,again something Microsoft hasn't done

They all do it. I have friends with iPhones who cannot install games or apps, take picture or videos simply because their memory is full. Moreso with the ones who have 8gb or 16gb variants.

The problem lies with modern day operating systems not allowing the user to install to external memory. Where Apple is concerned, having external memory at all is even a bigger issue.

On Symbian you could always install to SD card. I never had storage issues with Symbian, only RAM issues with handsets that had low RAM.

Nexus sales have always been poor by comparison. Google don't make the Nexus products anyway so I don't think its any skin off their nose. The first few Nexus phones were all Samsung, then LG. The 10 is a Samsung slate, the 7 is made by Asus and the 4 is by LG.

Google don't make the hardware. They will just want their software running vanilla on at least one major flagship rather than a phone with year old technology.

It won't affect the sales, didn't you hear the crowd become silent as the price was announced?

10million sold: http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]sold-new-colors-coming_id43304

Incredible, Samsung gave Sony, HTC and LG a head start in terms of releasing a phone and updating it, yet neither could fully capitalize or update their phones to 4.2.2 within the time it took Samsung to unveil and release the GS4, some of these competitors have been around since late February even still nothing, and within a month the GS4 rips them all apart, selling in just a month more than some have sold in their entire time in the market.
