This is my third Samsung Android smartphone and it's definitely the best one I've owned. I love the huge screen, great HD quality, sharp images and very good color. This phone is fast! The performance is much better than any other phone I've had or played with by far; great on wi-fi and LTE. Picture images are very good quality, especially in good lighting. The phone despite having a 5" screen is comfortable to hold and play with and it's light. You can't go wrong with this phone.
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.
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!

This is by far the greatest phone I have ever had. The display and features make it almost virtually unnecessary to turn on my laptop. I use it for business and personal use and it has never let me down. Kudos to Samsung!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to navigate through the settings, features no other phone offers
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my second Galaxy in the S series. This S5 is fantastic. The Camera and Video are outstanding, 4k recording is out of this world. My friends are simply amaze at the quality of Image's that just "POP" off the screen. This great when my grand kids are actually being serious.
This phone has a great screen for display. The camera also takes great pictures. It is a very fast phone and does all I need. I would highly recommend this phone.
