Would have been 5 star all the way except poor design of the charging port. (in my opinion) This is my second S-4. Had to send the first one back. Luckily it was still in warranty and they mailed me a new one in exchange for the defective one. The charge port is very flimsy. You need to be very careful to make sure the plug is aligned and gently inserted into the charging port. Make sure the plug is right side up and do not force it. Sounds like common sense but a replacement or repair out of warranty could be costly. Just a heads up. Everything else is 5 Star!
The phone has great features, I am a little far sighted with the larger text it makes it easier to read. I'm also 1/2 deaf, it has good sound for me to hear. All around best phone I've had so far.
Good basic phone not as complicated as later models.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: not all features work properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verizon Galaxy s4

Posted by: xFuZiion18
the galaxy s4 was everything I thought it would be. It was my daily phone for months until late I upgraded to the Verizon Note 5. The s4 was and still is an amazing phone but when it got the lollipop update it lagged down my phone so I had to download android 4.4.4 back to it so it would run smoothly again.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I tried apples and droids. I finally found my phone. I fell in love with Samsung products. I am hoping to get a s6 or s7
I have had this S5 for 1 1/2 years. i use it as my laptop when I travel and also my camera. The camera is great, in fact other people want me to take pictures then send to them. It takes care of my emails and I book flights from it. It is indispensable when I travel. It is great to be able to put a sim card in from whatever country I am in. Would recommend this phone or the new S7.
