I can totally agree with you on Samsung they are becoming another Apple their lineup of phones are extremely overhpyed. I chose the Nexus 4 because I looked into it and of course I didn't feel like spending an arm and a leg on good phone. So I came across this phone I knew this was the phone for me. I saw it had the latest Version of Android, snappy quad core S4 Pro,768p screen. And all of that for $300 the phone even made the iPod touch look like a joke. And that resulted in Mr becoming an a Android fan
