Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 sales strategy :giggle: anyway lots of stable ROMs available no ..m7 my older phone is already showing leaked roms and s4 was released after it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 date of release doesnt matter .. Samsung in the re branding and streamlining the models .. if i am not wrong A series and E series too running on kitkat out of the box , so preference will be given to these ( S5 will get lollipop and few already got it ).. it is very very diff for samsung to port s4 to lollipop becoz of so many variants ...

Kalia_Test Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 You guys are making it look like S4 is some old Nokia N7 :(( It released in India in June/July 2013 and widely available with stable price around Oct 2013 when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Don't listen to him it will get update . It's their main series and if they cannot even update it twice then peole won't trust them S5 already got update in some places so wait for month or so :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Also we are not saying is bad device but Samsung in India did not update to kit Kat but there no excuse with s4 as ram and everything meets requirement and while Samsung has released new models their over all models have decreased ..

velu Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 dont listen to sabby .. try to sell b4 it gets outdated or gift it to someone i am telling this from economics point of view or you yourself can check it in olx official price of new s4 is 21K , might go down by another 2 or 3k when s6 comes out.. i am 100% positive that s4 will be discontinued when s6 comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Even I said sell but it will get update and I can promise you that so do not sell for that reason Seriously man do not spread false rumours or what you think as facts ..I will get update but it will be late by month compared to use model .l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 whatever you hear is rumours or official lies .. you cant blindly believe unless u see.. there were N number demos for S3 kitkat , but not many devices got it.. porting/upgrading is not a simple task esp when samsung has got 1000s of devices to support trust me in this .. many teams are moved out of android and now they started working on Tizen.. i am sure carrier versions will ( at&t , verizon etc ) will get it .. but even god might not be knowing when others will get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Lol s3 got kit kat and in India it did not because of 1 GB ram . Anyway I can assure you it will restbis your wish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalia_Test Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 OK ok..peace..I will wait till Feb end. I need two devices for personal/work so I was planning to use both ( S4 and N4 ) till this year end atleast ( I mentioned elsewhere that I spent a lot of money on phones/laptops/gadgets in last 2-3 years and this year I will not buy anything else except maybe an SSD and some RAM ) Same with my wife who is currently using G3/BB. If she is able to swap the BB with iPhone, no issues and I can go as per plan of continuing till year end. I am a bit attached to S4 as it has not given me any problem ( which even my Nexus gave me once ). It is smooth, plays all heavy games, takes decent photos and gave me 50 GB dropbox space free. I like Lollipop on N4 so really hope S4 gets it. Samsung has no excuse for not providing it to international variant ( the Exynos one ) which are not tied to any carrier too.

Old guy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 it will get lollipop and if i was you i would have used it for one more year too like i was going to with my m7 but it had some issues so i fixed them and sold . keep iphone ..i always think s series of iphone is always not worth buying as you have major change in next year so this should feel new for 2 years ..
