Be prepared to spend lots of time learning the ropes.

I would definitely recommend these phones, but I would follow that with sage advice. Can you afford the time?
We purchased 2 GS4 phones December 2013. It is now August 2014 and we are still struggling to understand and coordinate all the features of these phones with our Windows PC. We have spent hundreds of hours on the phone with tech support, online looking for software, and loading, testing and unloading apps.
The file system assumes the only reason you would want to save a file is if it is pictures or video. I use mine for DATA. Data columns are meant to display recordings.
Google controls everything. The system assumes you are in love with Google. If you are - great!
This is not a slam against Samsung. It is a generic warning to newcomers to Android smartphones (like us). Be prepared and willing to devote an enormous amount of time to setting up your phones to do get it to do what you are dreaming of. Without this effort, the phones can text, make calls, and take pictures. Even these features take time to learn. Beyond that requires you to work at setting it up - even with tech support.
On the other hand, if you are a veteran to Android phones you know what you are getting into.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speaker is on the back - i am on the front?, designed for music and video not data, hard to figure out how to use features., long list of accounts., long list of calendars, difficult to avoid paying extra for data., no way to remove built in apps., no wireless sync of calendar built in., no built in app for secure password storage., too many hours on phone with tech support.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone!

This is my first smart phone & I really love it. I was torn between this one & the newest Iphone. But the Samsung Galaxy seemed to have so many cool features with more vibrant graphics. Occasionally the internet will run a bit slow with WiFi, but overall it works very well. I still have not figured out setting up voice mail, there are no clear instructions anywhere, so I'll have to contact verizon, I think its their issue.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: slow interrnet on wifi sometimes

This is the best phone I have ever had. It's so easy to use and intuitive. My only issue was the plastic back cover which can get slippery so I bought a case to cover it.
