This is a great phone! I love how fast the processor is!! Very quick and no lag at all. The screen is amazing and I came from an Apple IPhone 5S. Would never go to an IPhone! Love It.
This is my first really smart phone so my first experience and expectations. I would give it overall 4 stars. Battery consumption seems high; too easy to accidentally change audio levels without a downloaded locking app; storage of phone contacts is confusing to me but it may just be my inexperience. Still I like the phone and would probably buy its' replacement down the line.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, easy to accidentally change volume levels.
Maybe it's not the best or fanciest smartphones but it does what I want it to without issues. There are plenty of apps to install if you want them and the capacity is good. It doesn't slow down too much, and I've had other smartphones that couldn't handle too many apps. The only thing I don't like are the preinstalled apps that you can't install The camera is good and takes nice pictures. I personally don't use the many available gestures but they're there if you want them.
I have had this phone for almost two years now and I still love it. It runs smoothly. I havent experience any slowness or delay in the phone itself. Unfortunately I dropped it couple weeks ago, but it still does its job. Waiting to upgrade to the s5.
Phone is perfect to see videos, quality is great! Very easy to use. I have had some technical issues but they were fixed and it is working great now. Sound could be better, very low, ringtones also!
The S4 is a slick looking phone on the outset. The large screen and good resolution puts it above many of ts competitors in the smart phone market. The gesture and air commands are a nice touch, but they don't honestly add much to the usefulness of the phone. I found I was more likely to accidentally flip pages than actually use the air gesture to deliberately change the page. The widgets are a superb feature that allow for staying up to date through several different social media and news sources at the same time. The battery life is a slight drawback. It isn't what I would prefer, but it can be optimized for improved performance. The google play store is solid as well. All in all it is a very good phone, and a very good value.
This phone has an excellent clear screen- I'd say it's almost a hybrid of a phone and a small tablet. The only thing I would change is the power button. Because it is opposite the volume toggle, sometimes I accidentally push the power off when trying to adjust the volume when holding my phone. Putting the power button on the top of the phone would help. Also, having a home button that doesn't require pressure would be easier too. Sometimes I have to adjust my hand position in order to use the home button.
Other than the physical quirks (which I'm sure I will get used to after a while), I love this phone! There are so many features that I know it will take me a while to be able to utilize the majority of them. I really enjoy using it.
