I am very happy that I bought the Samsung G4. It's a great phone that I have actually never had any problems with. My only complaint, and one that I seem to share with many other G4 owners, is that the battery life stinks. I don't play a ton of games, and yet I have to charge my phone at mid-day almost every day. If that could be fixed, I would be a Samsung buyer for life.
The features are fantastic. The display is very HD. It has been the only phone that works well in buildings in my area that are known for poor reception. I accredit this to the phone not the provider. Overall I think that Samsung and the Galaxy products are the way to go.
After comparing this phone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, to a variety of others and researching consumer reports and ratings from many IT experts, I was able to make an informed decision to select this phone as it, not only met my needs, but far surpassed them. The features, durability, ease of use and visual aesthetic put this phone far above the rest. You won't go wrong with this cell phone especially if you need a cell that can do everything!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, ability to have a spare battery, bigger screen size display area
I love my Samsung Galaxy S4. It really is amazing. I love all the features the phone has and all the capabilities it has. I use my phone for everything and this phone really lets me do everything. My husband just got the new Galaxy S5 and he loves it. I have been thinking about upgrading to the S5 because I love my S4 so much and my husband told me the S5 has some improved features over the S4. I really do love my S4. I love Samsung products. When I look to upgrade my phones, I always get a Samsung. Your products are great dependable and reliable.
(1) Kept dropping calls-- had to have a part replaced
(2) I absolutely hate texting on this phone!! It does what it wants, changes things, etc and the cursor is so frustrating to position when you have to correct something. It's easier to rewrite the whole message than to erase one word!!! I got the new app that is supposed to improve this, but the only difference I see is that it lets you do commas on the alphabet page.
I'm going to take a weird approach at explaining how much I love this phone. I had it for approximately 4 months when the screen cracked. It was my fault, not a weakness of the phone. My carrier didn't have a loaner for me during the time I sent my phone to Samsung for repair, and since I had switched carriers at the time of buying this phone, I didn't have an old one. I borrowed an older 3G smartphone of a different brand from a friend.
My gawd....truthfully the borrowed phone did exactly as it should have....it worked great. However, it was the difference of trying to build a house with one hammer and no other tools vs having a tool trailer of everything you need! You can still build the house, but it's gonna take you YEARS vs months. I am not a techno-geek...these phones are tools, nothing more...thank you, thank you, thank you Samsung for repairing it and returning it within 10 days---at the price you said it would be---in the time frame you said it would take--and being able to talk to a live person during the process. Good stuff!!
