I've been working in the wireless industry for a while now and I have never a used a phone like this. I've had the iPhone 5, I've had the Droid Razr HD. Nothing is as great as this phone.
It's fast, has a ton of great features, and there are never any hiccups in the interface. I did have big problems with battery life, but I downloaded a task killer (whoever tells you not to do that is wrong. I've had one on every Android phone I've ever had and it helps immensely) and I set it to auto-kill every thirty minutes. My battery lasts about 18-20 hours now, which is just about all I could ask for.
Everything is fast. It never gets slow, no matter what I'm doing with the phone - and I do a lot. There are a lot of great apps that are only the S4, too. S-Health is phenomenal - I use the step-counter every day. And WatchON is a lot of fun to change the channels and control everyone's TV.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fast fast fast!
This phone is amazing. The processor is an absolute beast, and Samsung's added features are great. I've been using it a lot, I just got it, but even during regular use the phone gets very warm, and during extended use uncomfortable hot.
My first day with the Samsung S4 - has not been particularly productive as I have spent most of the time learning about this most amazing piece of technology that I have ever owned. I thought the Samsung Smart TV was incredible, but this smart phone is simply a trip. " Air Gestures" allows you use the phone and not really touch it, - move a hand , move your head, things happen. Great Camera, and on and on. Not only that you can call people and talk with on it. You gotta get one of these.
Had this phone since Tuesday 6/18 and am liking it so far. It does come with a lot of pre-installed apps (bloatware?) I will probably never use and am unable to uninstall; however, you are able to hide apps you don't want to see all the time. Battery life isn't the greatest. Comes with a ton of ringtones and are easily able to set your own music as ringtones. Wish they would have put a cover over the charging port to keep dirt out. I bought the light blue Samsung flip cover which is one piece that totally replaces the original flimsy back cover which is very nice. Still discovering, and expect to keep discovering, new and cool features of this phone since there is so much to discover. Would give 4 1/2 stars for performance if I could
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, selection of ringtones, selection of accessories
The LCD screen cracked spontaneously. The device was not dropped. I pulled it out of my pocket and the LCD screen had a crack in it and did not function anymore. The gorilla glass was not damaged. Buyer Beware
The title says it all. Literally the best of the best. I sold my S3 for this beauty and was worth it. The screen is beautiful, it's super fast and the battery life alone was worth the upgrade. The camera is unbelievable and TouchWiz features are amazing. You cannot go wrong with this phone. You'll love it!
