So, there is a consensus that the only problem with the Galaxy S4 is its paltry 16GB of NAND and 8GB of available space? The partitions are the same for Samsung and HTC? But HTC's cheapest flagship comes with 32GB of NAND whereas Samsung's only has 16GB?
This isn't a problem for everyone though. Certainly not most people here since we're all geeks anyway.
For example, with my Android phones I only intend to run AOSP based ROMs like CyanogenMod...That means all the TouchWiz and Sense bloat and gimmick features are stripped out regardless of which phone I get from
any manufacturer.
And I already have MicroSD cards from previous phone and digital cameras.
If you plan to run Samsung TouchWiz stock with all the bloats and gimmicks installed
and also don't have a MicroSD card sitting somewhere or don't have enough money to buy a $20 MicroSD(people paid $200-800 for the phone so an extra $20 shouldn't be an issue), then I suppose it may be a problem.
If Samsung sacrificed 16GB of NAND storage for this new AMOLED screen, I'm okay with it since it's a massive upgrade from their previous AMOLED screens.
