The Samsung Galaxy S4 reveal will happen on Thursday and we're all totally freaking out. But before Samsung dashes our wild-eyed hopes and dreams (or perhaps validates them), we'd like to share with you our Top 5 Wishlist for the Galaxy S4.
Key Lime Pie or at least Jelly Bean 4.2
For the love of god, nobody likes TouchWiz. It would be enough for us if Samsung agreed to simply ship the Galaxy S4 with a stock version of Jelly Bean 4.2. This is a wishlist though, so we're going big: we want Key Lime Pie and we want it now.
Smarter S-Voice
Google committed a misstep in assuming that users would be willing to suffer the indignity of addressing their smartphones as if they were real people simply to shave a few seconds off the time required to check the weather forecast. If we're to look like schizophrenic tech geeks in the middle of the street, we want more out of the experience than novelty.
At least Apple has the decency to call Siri what it is: a Beta.
Wireless Charging
It's 2013 and we're utterly at a loss to explain why it is still necessary to plug a device into a power adapter to charge it.
Nikola Tesla invented wireless charging more than a hundred years ago. We'd probably be sitting pretty right now had Thomas Edison not indulged his unfortunate penchant for electrocuting elephants.
Give us wireless charging - no ands, ifs or buts.
Better Speakers
If you've ever listened to music or even a ring tone through the Galaxy S3's speakers, you've probably wondered what happened to the low end. The sound is tinny and has nothing resembling bass.
At the very least, Galaxy S4 should have speakers as good as the iPhone, but again, this is a wishlist, so we're demanding at least four miniature speakers placed in strategic locations around the bezel so that "Suit & Tie" can be blasted in JT's full and infinite glory.
More RAM
Although the interwebs have been abuzz with rumors about the alleged octa-core processor to debut with the Galaxy S4, we've heard comparably little about RAM.
If Samsung wants to prove just how meaningless eight cores can be, it need do nothing more than ship the Galaxy S4 with less than 3GB RAM.
