New droid.. What a disappointment……
But the S4 does Not come in 32/64 gb versions though Samsung advertise it
32gb GS4 is $299 leveling the pricing playing field. Obviously the Maxx has a huge advantage in the battery dept. We’ll just have to wait until the Maxx is in reviewers’ hands to see what the 8 core moto is really capable of. If 4 of those cores are really gpu driven this may be the ultimate gaming Droid. All in all, benreason, I wouldn’t say a disappointment. If it can catch up to the GS4 strengths, I’d buy it just to get Moto’s superior radios.
