In Germany they have a similar Price as the G3. I got my Z2 on a contract, so in 24 months it will cost me 390 Euros in total. 

 

 

Your turn samsung the S4 better get it, or else.

 

I had a bad experience with Samsung Update, that is why I don't like them anymore.

KitKat was supposed to make a big deal about low-end phones with small amount of RAM,right?(~500MB right?)

 

Well...Samsung decided not to bring any update to my S3.Not because it's lifetime is over,but because "It doesn't have enough RAM".HOW THE HECK ARE 2GBs NOT ENOUGH!!Phones with 500MB of RAM are supposed to handle it and here Samsung says that 2GBs isn't enough...jeez.

 

Same thing happened to my old S Plus.They didn't bring ICS because it "didn't have enough RAM".

"Update the S4, or the bunny gets it"

Good to know HTC aren't dropping the M8 yet. However I'm a bit sad that the One X and One X+ aren't in the list. Those should be powerful enough.

That is not sure yet, so I didn't post it. There is still a chance.

I guess I'll be stuck with 4.1.2 then (Using Galaxy S2. Not upgrading anytime soon, as I switched from XCover 2 to S2 due to Samsung purposely handicapping it by not allowing USB connection with a PC, and by not allowing to install apps on an external SD card).

 

Maybe I should try out CyanogenMod someday...

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.
