I love this phone. The best part is all those features such as Air View, S Beam, and smart scroll. There are too many to list! This phone has been so much fun, and everyone who tried out my phone loved it. I quickly got used to the "big" screen. My Samsung experience has been amazing. Thank you Samsung!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, lots of features
Cons: plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery Life is UNACCEPTABLE

I have used all the power-saving options, dimmed my display so I can barely see it, and TRIED to remove some of the applications that auto-populated (and are annoying) on my screen---especially the "S-Memo" thing, which is huge. Every time I try to disable an app, it gives me a data removal warning! I just want my emails, without bells & whistles notifications, and an occasional Facebook update--no noises with that!
I also text frequently. Another problem I have is that the ringtones lack volume---they're just not loud enough coming from the phone's speaker. With a Bluetooth, they're fine; but maximum volume control on the device is really not loud at all! I wish all these crazy applications would just go away! And I wish there was an extended life battery, or preferably a solar charging case---which this device obviously needs!
Cons: poor battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Another Great Phone from Samsung

I loved my Galaxy S3 and then I moved on to the Note 2 and that was even more amazing. I waited for the S4 to come to Verizon and then waited a little longer hoping for a 32gb version. I finally gave in and bought the 16gb version. I will come back to the storage space. Let me first say that, overall, this phone is a step forward again for the Galaxy series. The features are awesome. I love the camera features and the air view and smart scroll features are more useful than I thought they would be. Some have referred to these as gimmicks. I disagree. I believe that Samsung is innovating. These features will only get better with time.
The Galaxy S4 feels great in the hand. It is so light. It is amazing that there is a 5" screen on this phone. Maybe it is because I was used to the Note 2, but this phone is very comfortable to use with one hand and yet there is this big beautiful screen. And that screen is beautiful. You really appreciate the display when viewing pictures, videos and reading on the internet or just reading a book. Colors are vibrant and and text is clear and easy to read. The sound is also good. It would be great if Samsung could come up with a way to get the speakers on the front of the device without having to make it bigger. It's not a big deal since I use headphones or BT speakers. That is more of a "nice to have" feature.
I only have two issue with the S4. The first is that for some reason there is lag occasionally. I notice it in certain apps and when transitioning from one home screen to the next. It's not a lot and not all the time. I am assuming it will be fixed with an update. The other issue is the internal storage. When you get the phone you only have about 9gb out of the 16gb total to use as you would like. It's not a huge deal as you can put up to a 64gb micro sd card in, but as of now that can only be used for books, pictures, video and music. As long as you don't use a lot of apps or play large games the 16gb's will be plenty. I also understand that there is an update coming that will allow certain apps to be moved to the SD card.
Samsung makes amazing products and the S4 is no different. I do believe that they listen to their customers. I have had a couple questions about the features and the customer service has been excellent. Quick response via email and Twitter. I can certainly recommend the S4 over any smart phone out right now.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great features
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got my new phone 3 days ago and I couldn't be happier! I had the same, horrible phone for 2 years and the performance and speed of the Galaxy blows it completely out of the water!
The features and clarity are amazing...I keep figuring out new things that I can do that I had no idea were possible!

I am in love with this phone. One unexpected safety feature: I cannot text & drive because my thumb doesn't reach the 'a'!
I am learning new things every day. The battery life is better than I expected.
I love having 4G!!

Great device !

Was reluctant to change my Galaxy Nexus, thought it had everything but the battery life was horrible...Boy, am I glad I did though.
This device is fantastic..the battery lasts well into the evening with pretty heavy use...Some of the gimmicky features I could do without, but the only real con is that I don't like the fact that text messages don't announce who they're from which is strange...but that's the only negative so far...blows iphone away...my wife wants to dump her iphone !
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, battery life
