Not worth the trouble I have to go through
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, junk
I have not learned much about this phone because it doesn't receive a 4G signal, in my area. Everybody else in the house gets 4G, on their phones and devices, but not me. The phone displays 4G -- until I pick it up to use it, then it switches immediately to 3G. Our Verizon Jetpack always receives a strong, stable, 4G signal. Two different people at Verizon have independently volunteered that Verizon is aware of poor signal-reception in Galaxy phones, but their only suggestion at this time is to purchase a different model.
While I love the phone and its features, unfortunately my device has failed four times in four months, requiring multiple factory resets and a week without a phone while it was with Samsung for warranty service repair.
Switched to the S4 from an IPhone5. Night and day difference. Absolutely love the Galaxy. It does lag a bit sometimes, but nothing like the IPhone did.
was a long time moto user and finally had enough of there worthless devices so decided to give the s4 a try. love everything about the phone. im on the unlimited plan through verizon and im not worried about having to change my contract to get a new phone anytime soon. keep it up samsung!
I have been an Android user for quite some time now. I stuck with one brand in particular (I won't state which) through thick and thin. Over the years, and many upgrades to their newer smart phone, I realized nothing really changed. The camera was glitchy and many times unresponsive, the batteries would warp, app and program speeds were slow, and the OS would lock up, freeze or just shut down. I had enough and decided to make a change. That change was to Samsung, and I have yet to regret it. When people ask my why I love my new companion I always respond "because it does everything I need it to". The S4 is reliable. I have waited to write a review. Waited for time to unveil a serious con for this phone. But the S4 has delivered on every level. The screen is absolutely stunning. It blows away any other smart phone on the crispness and quality. The OS is easy to work with and has many extra features. One of these extra features is the IR-Blaster. The IR allows you to control your TV by turning your phone into a remote. You always have your phone on you which is good because the remote is usually hidden in a couch cushion somewhere. Also its fun to set it to a friends TV and prank them by changing the channel or cranking up the volume. The camera works like magic. It will seriously make you feel like a professional photographer with the way it delivers brilliant pictures consecutively. I haven't had any problems with the phone over heating, freezing, screen lock, or with the phone restarting on its own. I love that Samsung has also left the door open on the micro SD card. Having this option available allows the end user to expand the basic 16gb that is standard on most phones. I love the I would recommend this phone to everyone I know and everyone I don't.
