As a user of the Galaxy S5 the Galaxy S4 is mediocre when compared to the S5. My mom owns the S4. It is a great phone which lead me to buy my Galaxy S5. The camera is better on her phone then mine for selfies and pictures at night but the touch screen seems glossier and the buttons don't stick out as much. The Galaxy S5's battery and charging abilities(optional dual-charging setup) help to shorter it's time on the plug and it's increased battery storage are worth the extra money you may have to pay for it in retail.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, sd card compatability, short battery life, charging
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've owned my Galaxy S4 for about 7 months now and would recommend it as a great smartphone with plenty of features. Many great apps and good performance already built in, good battery life,could be better. Android > Apple
The Samsung s4 is still one of the best smart phones I have ever used, I before had 2 IPhone 5s and 1 4s and I prefer the S4 above all of them all. For being 2 generations behind its still an amazing phone especially for the price point.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is very easy to use. It was my first smartphone and by the end of the day I was able to use all the functions with no problem. I love the camera. It takes great pictures and has lots of editing options. I also love the size of the screen. That was the first reason I started looking at the Galaxy. I wanted to get a phone with a big screen.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, large screen
