I thought this was a great phone. It tended to freeze up a bit often, and I had to take the battery out to get it restarted, which scares me about my new S6, but loved the phone in general. It could have been faster, but hey, I bought it two years ago. For general use I would recommend it highly. I just had too many things going on at once. In many ways I think it had a better design than my S6. I liked having the menu key in the lower left corner for all the programs and aps. The S6 is new and I will get more accustomed to it, but it seems more helter skelter. The battery also seemed to last longer than the S6. Dropped it off the roof of a three story building. Landed on a sidewalk, and it did not break anything. Good camera, but slow. Great photos, and I am picky. Just don't expect to push the button and get an instant shot. People will often move before the photo is taken. That is where the S6 shines. What a camera.
I do not like the overall performance of the galaxy s4.I this is my second one. The first one kept shutting down on when I would be in a conversation. Now this one is doing the same thing. It gets hot and shuts down. Really irritating.
After having the phone for almost 2 years I have found it has its ups and downs. It does get hot if you use it for to long but that's not a big deal. I have dropped my phone multiple times without a case on it and I have never gotten a Crack in the screen. The battery lasts all day long even when I use it alot. So I would recommend this phone to my friends.
