For me the GS4 is a perfect phone. It is fairly easy to learn even for the Samsung specific goodies it packs. It has pretty average battery usage I usually get between 8 to 10 hours of use depending on how I am using it.
I have loved my Galaxy S4 since I took it out of the box. I have had it for over a year and it is still holding up well. It fits well in my hand and I have small hands.
The only issue I have is the apps that are forced out. I don't use them but haven't been able to get rid of them without rooting my phone and I have heard too many bad things about going that way. So go with a good sized memory card and you should be fine.
This phone still works as good as the day I got it. I have had zero problems with the device and its performance. Even with a vase this phone isn't too big or heavy. The screen is bright and perfectly sensitive. The phone rarely slows down. The features Samsung added like multi window are amazing. I love the ir blaster
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, ir blaster
Hardware great design and build, only issue is it is delicate (get a good case). Sync is the best I have seen, battery life good, features, more than I can use. Overall 4.5 out of 5 and that is the best I have given!
Love the S4, quick response to input, plenty of features, great all around phone.
I do wish the quality of the camera was a little better, the focal length of the lens is a little to zoomed in for my taste, a little lacking in low-light.
Native voice control is pretty bad, I try to avoid, I would like to change what the double press of the home button does, I would like it to bring up my active apps instead of having to use a long press. That change would make a for an easier navigation experience for this phone.
Dispite a few quirks here and there, I don't see myself needing to change this phone for quite some time.
I love my Samsung galaxy S4. It really is your life companion. I love the briefing app and the calendar, together they keep my days straight. I continue to be amazed at the color and clarity of the screen while watching movies. Everyone comments about this feature. This truly is a great phone and simple to use.
