Best Galaxy Yet!
on August 3, 2013

Samsung have out done themselves with the S4! The features are great, and the camera is high quality. I am still disappointed with the plastic build, although it does make the body quite light weight. The gorilla glass does not scratch at all easily. Overall very impressed!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, high mega camera
Cons: plastic build :(
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone with one annoying quirk

I bought this phone back in May when it first came out and have loved it. I have it set up to recognize my places and it automatically adjusts to my work, home and car (which I love that it puts itself into drive mode as soon as I enter my car). My only complaint is that as soon as my phone connects to my car it starts to stream music via the bluetooth connection and this drives me crazy because I have to manually take it out of Drive Mode and then pause the music and then put it back into Drive Mode. I've contacted Samsung support and they tell me there is no fix...to which I'm very confused. You would think a phone as advanced as this would have a setting where I would actually tell it to stream my music via bluetooth instead of it automatically doing it (every time) when I get in my car. Some times I just want to listen to the radio, and then after a while switch to my music. Sometimes I don't want to listen to anything, and just want to hear the revs of my engine. It's a small annoyance, but it drives me crazy. Sorry for the rant. I really do love this phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, ease of use
Cons: super expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am very happy with this phone. I had another brand android before this and it seemed,ok. It wasn't great,but this phone is fast and I already linked pictures to my daughters Galaxy s3,we both smiled on that feature.The phone is fast and I like the idea that I can do the full internet.My other phone gave me hard time with that. I have much more exploring to do on this phone and hope it is long lasting.Thanks for a great phone.While wife was driving I took roadside pics and they turned out phenominal,best I have ever seen from a phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, nice features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi, recently I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Sprint and I have to say that it is a great phone. For now I found an issue with the Samsung Galaxy S4. Yesterday I recorded a video around 26 minutes. When I watch that video I got the video and the audio out of synchronization. Please Samsung verify and fix it
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: expensive, audio and video out of synchronization

The Good and the Bad with the Galaxy S4
on May 2, 2013

After three days with the phone, I am disappointed with two major factors in my purchase. I loved the 16GB and having only 9GB available to me is very disappointing. As a Linux user, I understand that some space is dedicated to OS files. Having approximately 1/2 of the hd space to OS and advertiser programs is really Unacceptable! You should mention this on the BOX or in your ads. (Galaxy III has approximately 12GB of 16 for user).
The other extremely poor experience is with Wi-Fi. Not being able to control WHEN/IF it connects may be a deal breaker on this phone for me. Earlier this month, I purchased 2 Galaxy III phones for my kids and they are able to access the Optimizer and turn off auto connect. I was just told on chat that the ONLY way to get to Optimizer on the S4 is do to a factory reset and decline then. Not sure I want to go this route as I have been customizing the last 4 days! These are two serious issues for me with the phone. I LOVE Samsung products and my home has many. We have PC monitors/hard drives because Samsung is quality and lasts in my home. This is why we chose to change from our current phones (not Samsung). Really need a way to install to SD instead of having to go to my files and move. With only 9GB, need to be able to install/move most of my downloads to my 32GB SD. (YES, storage is an issue for me :0)--NO, don't want phones without SD.
The Good: I Love that I have been able to move some things to my 32GB SD (go to my files and click Move to SD). Hopefully, will be able to move more and move what I choose without problems using from SD. I LOVE the S-Beam and will use it extensively. I love the lightness of the phone and the feel in my hand. Love the SD option (a must for us). Love the white color. Absolutely LOVE the battery life (200% better than previous phones and a BIG deal in our home--4 phones).
Value for the phones is average for a new phone. (We purchased ours at a Club and did get a better deal than through our carrier directly; so, that is a bonus.
This phone would be a 5-Star rating except for the Hard Drive space (8-9 of 16GB) and the Wi-FI (I pay for 4G and would like to use 4G)!
Overall, the phone IS an improvement over my 2 year-old Android phone with only 500MB internal space. Counted on getting close to the 16GB internal storage (12GB would have been acceptable). Still in our first 30 days with our Galaxy phones (Galaxy III and Galaxy 4); so, deciding if I will Love my Galaxy S4 or not! My kids do Love their Galaxy S-III.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color, Lightweight, s-beam rocks!
Cons: Did not meet expectations, 9 gb of 16gb available to user, only way to stop auto wi-fi is at activation
I would recommend this to a friend!
