Not Verizon Pre-Paid Compatible
on July 13, 2013
Posted by: Prepaid123
I purchased a Verizon Samsung S4 to use on a Verizon pre-paid service and found that all Verizon Prepaid services are 3G. Even though the Samsung S4 is also 3G, none of the prepaid services can hand the S4. I had to return the S4 and get another phone. It is too bad, because the prepaid services prices are as low as $30 a month, without a contract, after purchasing the phone myself.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, great capability
Cons: not compatible with verizon prepaid service
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expectations

I would LOVE to say this phone completely exceeded my expectations for it; however, I had EXTREMELY high expectations! The phone itself is outstanding and I love all the features Samsung has come up with to propel this already advanced device into the future even further. I actually don't mind the plastic cover like everyone else, I LOVE that I can take the battery out if I ever need to. I will be purchasing a separate battery and a charging system for that. While just leaving the phone on standby with the usual battery eating features turned off, the battery really holds it's life! I could get 3 days out of it, if I wasn't addicted to checking it every 5 seconds. A fix for that is the Air Gesture where you wave your hand over the sensor at the top, when the display is off, and it shows you all notifications you need. If you need to answer any you do need to wake up the device. Overall The new features are great, the one I use most I would have to say is Air View for looking over a long text message. I wish Air View worked with every app in some way, like Facebook, but I'm still not too disappointed. The screen could be a little brighter when you're outside, but almost every screen has that problem when the sun hits it just right. The battery could last longer, but at least you can change it out. My only real concern with the device is sometimes I "overload" it and it automatically restarts itself. It's a minor inconvenience considering the device is back up and ready to work in 10-15 seconds and running faster than before. This is my first smartphone, I've had iPod Touches before, but this takes the cake as my favorite device. I've followed Samsung since the announcement for the GS3, and ever since then I've been hooked. I may be a little bias when it comes to Samsung products, but only because no other products can match. The only other product on the market that is equal to the GS4 is the HTC1, and the only thing that device has going for it over the GS4, is the speakers in the front instead of in the back. I find that I have to angel my device so the sound bounces off of a surface to get the best quality sound, but it's not that much of a hassle and I'd still pick this phone over any other.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone, bad screen

Everyone knows how most people are hard on phones and you would think that they would made a phone with a screen that could handle it. Well the S4 can't. I didn't have my phone 18 days then i dropped it less than a foot off the ground and it shattered. The repair cost me $176.31. Other than that great features.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, poor screen design
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was using a iPhone 4S before I decided to try out the S4. I must say that I am not at all disappointed. Samsung continues to step up their game in the cell phone department.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, features
Cons: volume in ear piece
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is going to be a long 2 year contract
on July 6, 2013
Posted by: momsih
This phone has no sound volume to speak of....I had the droid bionic prior to this phone which hands down is a far better phone than this GS4. I downloaded the same apps I had on my bionic and soon had to delete every app which wasn't much in order to use this phone. I can't stand the picture gallery constantly having to announce " the check box is checked" for every picture I choose and internet explorer announces "the page is loading" "the page is now loaded"...you can't turn talk back off in some areas. I like the talk back feature in some programs but not all...even when I turned talk back off it still announces in gallery and internet explorer. My droid bionic I had separate volume profiles, no need with this phone!!!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad sound volume, no talk back control
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
