It's over three years old now and still going strong. The glass is cracked and the plastic edges are chipped up. The battery does ok. It still sounds clear and it tough as nails. I've dropped it a lot. It's had a tough life and keeps kicking.
This is a good and reliable phone. It has great features and good quality screen.
Pros: Inexpensive, hover
I would recommend this to a friend!

An old time technologist finally goes wireless phone

I have been involved in computing since IBM mainframe days, way before the PC. It was a beautiful field to be in, very exciting, highly stimulating and obviously full of potential. I first saw that potential while researching at Bell Labs (Holmdel, NJ), and the potential I saw was in the computer as a communication device. But that was more than 43 years ago, and since I spent my days in front of computing machinery, while walking I definitely did not wish to be reminded of work. My family, and all my friends all took up smartphones lang ago, but I considered the devices mere gadgets. The Samsung S4 changed that. I first reviewed the specs, and then followed the technical news. It was only after testing and enjoying this device that I am now convinced that Samsung is revolutionizing our (computing) industry - the inter-connectedness, the seamless experience, and the confluence of our civilization's business threads will make any purchaser of the Galaxy S4 be proud to be in the forefront of a revolution.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

The S4 has exceeded my expectations. The screen is beautiful, takes great pictures without a noticeable lag after taking the picture. Lot's of new settings to adjust everything about the phone. Smooth processing for all of the apps I have used so far. Love this phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, lightning fast
