I gladly selected the s4 as my first Samsung device. The design and feature set is what attracted me over the competition. I've enjoying being able to customize my experience on just about every level. Being able to stream youtube and do other things through spilt screen oddly seems to be a point of jealously from iPhone users.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
Cons: poor speaker quality, not able to customize calling options
I got my samsumg 5 month a go and can not tell you how much I love it.. it so easy my 2 year old can get to his app with no problems which has been the biggest problem but just got a kids save app and let him go to town... In order to get my phone back I got him (my 2 year old) samsung tablet for his learning app now
I've had the GS4 for a little over a year now. I absolutely love it! I wouldn't imagine having another phone. Some of the things it does compared to other devices that came out at the same time are outstanding. The camera is much much better than an iPhone, the operating system is much faster than other phones, display is amazing, and it is easy to use. I would recommend any Samsung product (I have a phone, laptop, and a tablet) over any other manufacturer on the market to anybody.
Being in the military I go through a lot of phones. It's not that I don't take care of it, it's just I'm constantly in the field sleeping outside for days and working in 110 degree weather, pulling 24 duty or getting down into the nitty gritty. Because of this my electronics take a beating. My phone has done great with all the punishment I've put it through and it'd be awesome to have another one of your products that I'm sure can withstand the Army life.
I loved the phone when I first got it but as time has passed it has had the same problems as all smart phones. When you start to get updates for the apps you've downloaded the phone continues to get slow and almost laggy and this continues down to the basic functions of the devise ie calling someone the screen freaks out and will start to flicker and won't stay on.
