S4 Five Stars

I recently switched from an iPhone to an S4 and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The hardest part of the transition was moving my contacts from the iPhone to the S4. I chose to use Google Contacts to store all of my contacts in so this would not be an issue going forward and manually entered the few contacts that were not already stored in the Google cloud. The apps I used on my old iPhone were all available on Android so that part of the transition was easy. Turning on encryption was relatively easy. And, once you use the S4 for a bit, the navigation piece becomes quite intuitive.
This product was great in it's day but is now out of date. It would have been nice had it made updates faster, had emojis built in, and apps ran faster.
Phone normally works well, with only losing it's network identity (requiring a reboot) about once a month or so. The apps work well and have good stability. The most problematic part of the phone is the battery usage. I've seen the phone go from 100% to 15% in 4 or 5 hours of normal use. short phone calls and minimal web surfing. I've update the back cover to use Qi wireless charging pads and that makes it easier to keep it charged when at work or while sleeping. The best part of the phone is the camera quality.
Pros: Bright display, camera quality
Cons: battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A good phone

I had my Galaxy S4 for several years now, since it originally came out. I recently bought a Galaxy S7, but my phone adopted my S4. It was a great phone and it had a lot of power compared to other phones when it originally came out. It is still running really well after all of these years. My wife is really enjoying it even though it isn't as powerful as newer phones on the market today. My only real complaint about the phone is the camera was never as good as I thought it should be. I'd often get blurry pictures even though I'm a fairly experience photographer since it is part of what I went to college to study. Despite that flaw, I still really liked the S4.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: camera not that great
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is literally indestructable

This was my old phone and I'll tell you what, I miss it. It was indestructable I dropped it with a broke life proof case and it survived. It just doesn't know when it's charging.
Its a little smaller then the LG Stylo I had but some of the features the S4 has make up for it. I've had no problems so far and have already recommended it to a few people already
Pros: Realistic color, Durable
Cons: a liitle small
I would recommend this to a friend!
