The note 2 is extremely much smaller then a nexus 7...I dont know why people think they are even close to the same size.

Yea I went from an s2 to a Note 2 and I thought size would be an issue but I love this thing. s3feels feels small now in my hand and iPhone well that shyt feels like a flip phone. plus the battery life!

Yep, the battery life is the main reason why I didn't jump on the S4. Oh so close, but I got use to the godly battery life.

Either they will or Google Music will be merged with Drive or some shyt :smugstern:

Based on the Hangouts fukkkery and Reader being shut down, I can only assume that this is how it will turn out

Im really disgusted with my s4 purchase and I had it to long for me to return it because I rather use my note. And to be honest half of the special features dont seem to work or be of use.

Jay-Z possibly taking his marketing talents to Samsung with a deal upwards of 20 Million?

Page Six from the New York Post is reporting that Jay-Z is close to signing an 8 figure deal with Samsung that could pay the rapper/entrepreneur upwards of $20 million. The speculation is that Jay-Z will use this deal to “to develop some kind of new music-streaming service to promote his acts and music on mobile devices,” but he might just be making some commercials and doing some product placements.

It seems more likely that Jay-Z will be bringing his marketing prowess to Samsung who has been mounting a serious marketing push in recent years. In fact, Samsung marketing expenditures even beat out Apple’s in 2012, $401 million to Apple’s $333 million, according to ad research and consulting firm Kantar Media. This deal is coming hot on the heels of the release of Samsung’s new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4.

Galaxy S4 helped Samsung outsell Apple for the first time since iPhone 5 debut

It is estimated that Samsung spent a combined $9.3 billion on marketing, advertising and other promotional activities in 2012, and roughly $2.5 billion on sales and marketing in the first quarter of 2013. Walkley believes that the company’s marketing efforts have paid off.

“We believe dominant sales of the S4 versus other Android smartphones was driven by Samsung’s extremely strong Galaxy consumer brand and well-executed marketing campaign, as our surveys indicated store representatives often recommended the HTC One ahead of the Galaxy S4,” the analyst wrote in a recent research note picked up by Business Insider.

Walkley added that despite positive reviews of the HTC One, Samsung’s closest Android competitor doesn’t have “the brand, distribution, and marketing budget to drive even stronger sales.”

According to recent data from research firm comScore, Apple was the top-selling smartphone vendor in the U.S. at the end of April. The company was found to have a 39.2% share of the market, ahead of Samsung’s 22% share. It should be noted, however, that this data was gathered before the launch of the Galaxy S4.
