I don't see the point in releasing another variant of the S4 with just another minor upgrade in CPU speed. Its not like you'd notice the difference if you owned either phone.
Im all for upgrading specs year on year, but every couple of months ? its not worth it !

Lol, that's Samsung for you. They've been doing this for a while, remember how many variants the Galaxy S2 had?
There was:
I9100 GS2 Exynos-International
I777 GS2 Exynos -US (AT&T)
I9100G GS2 TI OMAP -for some Asian markets
E120S GS2 HD LTE (with 4.6inch HD720P display) -S.Korea
I9210 GS2 LTE
I929 GS2 DUOS
Then there were the US Snapdragon GS2s:
I727 GS2 Skyrocket -US (AT&T)
I757 GS2 Skyrocket HD -US (AT&T)
D710 GS2 EPIC 4G Touch -US (Sprint)
And so on and so forth, ultimately you had quite literally a range of GS2s with varying screen sizes from 4.3inch WVGA to 4.65inch HD720P, with and without LTE, if anything they have narrowed down the amount of variants at this point, but it seems like that's exactly what they do, they make variants for almost every market and want to be on top of every new technology in that market. It's Samsung flex it's muscles as usual and money in the bank as each one of these variants carries many Samsung made parts, even with the Qualcomm based units which actually cost them less to make than the Exynos units.

I want the blue Galaxy S4 so bad.
In this case I don't care that much about the plastic feeling, which I have with my Note II.
Blue colour is just so sexy.

Yeah, the Arctic Blue is quite a looker, the GS4 in general is quite a great looking device. I personally wanted it knowing that it would be the best Android of 2013 in terms of performance, features, update support and ergonomics all in one, but the icing on the cake was when I got to the Samsung shop and was blown away but how good it really looks, especially in the darker colors as they bring a nice contrast to the chrome accents and rim.
Can't wait see the Arctic Blue one in real life.

Guys, is the Galaxy S4 the only Android capable of using its Volume Buttons as a Camera Key? PhoneArena seem to believe this is a feature coming in Android4.3, lol, we've had this feature built-in like many others since day one.

Awesome
How is it that Samsung are the only ones this ahead of the curve even more than Google??? I remember even Samsung's Nature UX in the GS3 on 4.1.2 had some features that the rest only got in 4.2.2.
I'm waiting for the day when Google brings multi view and clipboards to the rest, maybe that will happen in 4.3 as well, or 5.0?
Makes one realise how spoilt we are by ol' Sammy, I honestly thought the customisable Volume Key in camera was standard in Android4.2.2.

Calm down, there were many things in 2.3 Sony firmware which were released in 4.0, and the same again for 4.1. And the tablets too.
Every manufacturer should be ahead of Google if that's what you want to call it. They have to improve on it.
And I've never seen a guy so excited about a clipboard... Ever.
