Upgraded from the Samsung Stratosphere, which was a nice phone for my needs. What a difference -- the speed and clarity, as well as the features are all above expectations.
Was reluctant to change my Galaxy Nexus, thought it had everything but the battery life was horrible...Boy, am I glad I did though.
This device is fantastic..the battery lasts well into the evening with pretty heavy use...Some of the gimmicky features I could do without, but the only real con is that I don't like the fact that text messages don't announce who they're from which is strange...but that's the only negative so far...blows iphone away...my wife wants to dump her iphone !
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, battery life
i love my s4 and very disappointed in the materials used.The display is supposed to be the latest and greatest . unfortunately not the case. The picture quality is one of the best but the display durability is very poor. I dropped my 4 week old S4 on the carpet once and a broken display. My S3 has been dropped many many times with out a scratch. Whats up Samsung??? I would like to know if Samsung is planning any updates or recalls on this problem. up to this point i was a total fan of your products....
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor quality display
I have now had this phone for 2 weeks. I had been a huge fan of Samsung products in the past, but wanted to try a new OS and switched to Iphone. Frustrated with the lack of fun/cool apps for the Iphone, and loving the features I decided to give the Galaxy S4, and Android a try again, and boy am I glad I did. This phone has awesome features, and speed. My wife has the Iphone 4, and my daughter the Iphone 5. My phone blows theirs out of the water. It has turned into a running joke that when they say that the phones they have will not do something, I pull out my Samsung Galaxy S4 and show them that mine will. LOL
2 months since Verizon shipped the S4, I now have not one, but TWO cracked displays!!! Not cracked glass, but cracked display behind the glass. I didn't drop the phone, I used a case, I used a screen protector. Both times I put the phone in my pocket, went about my business for an hour or so, pulled the phone out and had a cracked display!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! I am a staunch advocate of Samsung devices and I held out a long time to get this phone and I love the features, but it is costing me a fortune to keep replacing it. If I can't put a phone in my pocket and go about my day without breaking it, the phone is worthless.
