Samsung Galaxy S4 - great phone, mediocre battery performance

This is the second time I've purchased and owned a Galaxy S4 new. The performance and features and function of the phone is again, excellent. This explains why I bought one new despite them being so old after so many years. However, there is one missing / problematic feature - the battery life. Even from the 1st week of owning it, the battery will not last a full day if it is used much and especially for anything besides really basic phone use. If you decide to use GPS for even one trip (albeit a short trip 20-30 min, you will have to recharge the battery that day. Great phone, but this model needed a little work on the battery itself or the phone's conservation of the battery. Otherwise, hightly recommended!!
Samsung hit this one out of the park! This phone is so advanced with its split window screen and voice commands. The camera is out of this world and the screen casting feature is the real deal. The slim design allows easy in and out of all my pants pockets. Plus the battery life is unbelievable.
Every samsung product is great I enjoy the familiar technology. Samsung makes it easy to love them with their high quality products. They stand by a great brand.
Some bugs: Back camera often doesn't work, even with factory reset and safe mode activated. Gets hot sometimes, killing the battery life and performance. Overall great product
I upgraded to the S7 and I regret it. This was the best Galaxy series. I wish I had known that I would lose several apps would be lost with the upgrade. I miss the cartoon editor feature (had to download one with the S7) & I miss the feature that animated pics I took. Moral of the story: not all upgrades make a product better.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, built in cartoon editing apps, built in app that animates you ics
