I find this was a very interesting announcement. Almost the whole presentation was about software, services and addons. Samsung did not talk much about the hardware, and not once used the term "Android" during the whole presentation. This is how I want smartphone providers to make their android-based devices: Either use just AOSP and focus on supporting that well (updates), or make a very unique and improved experience for your customers. Adding differences "just to be somehow different" will only make your phone worse. I don't care much about the gesture stuff, but what they do with the face detection API that came with Android 4 is very interesting. The idea that the screen will not go black as long as I look at it solves one of the most annoying problems I have when using computers. E.g. you think for a few seconds about what you just read on your smartphone, and when you're back you have to turn on the screen again. So annoying. There are also a lot of little nice touches to the ui, like this one: "Pick up the phone when you've got a missed call or text and it will vibrate gently in your hand in combination with the notification light to let you know you're a popular bunny." Or that you can hold the phone to your ear while you're texting someone and it will call the person you're texting. Or that you can select a person in the camera and the focus will stay on that person. Or that you can burst 10 photos with one shot and then have the phone automatically recommend the best picture to you. The wireless charger and the HDMI dongle are also very nice.
