The cure for the common phone...

I was one of the people who blew off the S4 as an unimaginative incremental upgrade that would sell like hotcakes to fanboys. Words I find ironic now holding the S4 in my hand. I think the turning point for me came when I was watching a Netflix movie on my HTC one. It was a dark room and the light from my One was entirely too bright so I tapped the screen and pulled down the notification bar to quickly change the brightness...No brightness adjustment. Just a check-box to activate Power Save Mode. So to adjust the brightness I hit the setting button, went into display, and made the change. Reopening the Netflix app, I re-clicked on the movie, it buffered and continued where I left off. Now it was a little too dark...Rinse and repeat. This was about as unintuitive as it gets. I realized at this point I was missing some pretty fundamental options I had grown accustomed to coming from the Galaxy S3. Quick settings aside, the lack of a menu button was becoming more and more of an issue as well. With larger screens it is an annoyance to continually have to reach to the top of a screen to pull down the notification shade and then tap settings in the far upper right, or when in an app to have a quarter inch of my nice 1080p HD display go missing so I can see three small dots indicating click here for Menu. I did my best to enjoy the time I had left with my trophy wife of a phone. But, upon receiving the S4 I was pleasantly surprised, I actually loved the design. It just feels good in the hand. I can honestly say at the end of the day I prefer Samsung's understated design over that of the HTC One. The build feels seamless and is light and thin. The S4 for all it's cheapness in material was a solidly built uniform device. Armed with Quick access to all of of my settings AND a Menu button I finally feel at home. I love the S4. For me it's like not having to give up the S3 I loved while gaining a boost in performance and screen.
In the end this is more of a comparative review between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but since that is the question most android buyers will be facing until the next great phone is announced - Here's my $.02 worth.

I can't even begin to tell you how great the S4 is. You really need to hold one in your hand and try it out! But I'm going to try anyways!

I'm sitting here using it to write this and it's flawlessly letting me do it without a single quirk! lol! Just wow!
If you have ever wanted a Smart Phone with a kick, or one with powerful and useful features, grab one today and get going! I love it!!
I can download and upload like nothing! Share HD pictures and work without needing something else. It's fast and dependable, responsive and really attractive.
This is the best smart phone Samsung makes and the best phone on the market and you can take that to the bank!

This phone is great, I switched from a galaxy s2 skyrocket and I could not be happier with my speed increase. This is my 3rd samsung phone and I'm proud to say it won't be the last. The Quad core is fast, The 1080p screen is crisp and a beauty. It sure beats all the competition at it's price point, contract or not.
Pros: Inexpensive, great amoled screen

Cons: little spendy

I have to say Samsung out done themsleves on this phone. I love all the functions on it, I am on the phone more than my home PC or laptop becuase it is fast. The best part it it that how light it is and I don't need to buy an extended battery either.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

This is why I say to get this phone, other phones when you look at them yeah they look nice, yeah they look cool, but it doesn't have what people want, they only care about the money and looks, and this phone has the looks, software, hardware, camera, has everything in one, and best of all is not that expensive as i though it was going to be.
Samsung you've done it again
