I really enjoy the Galaxy line of phones. The S4 is an upgrade from my S3 and it is a good phone. While I like 90% of the features I am unimpressed with my phones picture taking. The quality is not as good as my S3 was, even though it has a higher pixel count. I continue to adjust the settings but most my photos are unclear or distorted.
This product provides a perfect amount of control functions. The most useful is the smart pause, when I'm on the go and have a movie playing and something distracts me for a few seconds it gets frustrating to scrub the movie back to where I was before the distraction. Smart pause completely eliminates that by pausing the media you are watching when you look away and instantly resumes when you look back to your screen.
Another function I want to direct my attention to is Multitask. This allows you to have two app windows open on the product's screen. For instance I use it most when I am texting, I have the messaging app open to a smaller window and above that I have the internet or YouTube open. I like to kill time while waiting for a reply and it helps when I need access to two things at once. Another good combination is messaging and the map app.
Lastly this product is incredibly durable. I've dropped it twice and each time my heart stopped as I would hesitantly pick the product up to reveal the damage. I was sure it was done for but to discover that the only damage done was my ego from everyone who witnessed my crime. The other cosmetic damage I was ready to accept was when my 2 year old black lab stepped on the product while it was face down. I found a mark on it, which turned out to be a smudge of mud from her but there was nothing on the product, front or back. It was truly immaculate! This product has been in my possession since it's first release date and several of my friends have been improved by this piece of creative technology. For the price I was satisfied and proud with my decision to purchase this product.
whats not to love.....it has a great look...great features....13mp pictures camera awesome pictures great details and clear (I have a family so super important to me).....SUPER QUICK TIME CHARGE in less than 30 min. with their samsung cord and very good battery life as well, the battery does not get HOT like some other phones do....I LOVE my Galaxy S4....I made a smart choice with this one.....Thank You Samsung!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, super quick charging cord
Cons: it does need a small speaker on the fron of the ph
This is by far, the beat phone I have ever owned. I never get dropped calls, the phone is crystal clear on both sides of all conversations. I use it to go online also, I haven't used my lap top in a very long time.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color
I purchased the Galaxy S4 because it has a good form factor that is large enough to be readable and small enough to carry easily. I like the processing power, screen resolution and brightness.
I absolutely love this phone!! The screen is big enough to see everything from pictures to reading books on it. The apps are great and the phone is easy to use.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, great touch response
I've owned my S4 for almost a year now and I have found it to be useful in my everyday life. I use it to keep track and schedule my appointments. I use it for taking pictures it has a great camera. I enjoy a lot of the features, I use Allshare to link with my TV all the time. I found a lot of fun and useful ways to use my S4. My only complaint is that the back is too smooth. It makes it hard to grip properly when texting. But for the most part Great Phone!!!
