I love my phone! My wife has Phone Envy since my employer sent me the S4. :) My old phone was just that, old and slooooow, but the S4 is smooooooth and fast. It is reponsive even if it is loaded with background apps, and the SCREEN! WOW! AMOLED is AWESOME! I don't think I could improve it unless it was waterproof.
Bought this phone as an upgrade to a Samsung Flip-phone. The difference is night to day. I now know how to send text messages on a useful keyboard. Receiving e-mails is convenient. Having time and weather information is quite useful. Haven't tried many "apps" yet. Still discovering all that a smart phone can do.
It is a very good phone but after one year the screen rotation feature stop working. I tried different things, restored to factory settings and it still does not work. I guess it is sensor.
For what I needed this phone is perfect. Needed a phone to make call, send texts and received my emails, play music. I don't need anything fancy or expensive.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
While this is not a bad phone still as of today 3.26.2015, this phone has a lot of bloatware and unnecessary apps that eat up storage space. OTA updates coming for this device on V Z W are simply pitiful! Extremely slow on pushing out these updates. This was my first Samsung device and probably last. This phone didn't really "WOW" me at all. it's just a good working phone. The sd slot and removable battery are pluses though.
Never had any problems with my S4 throughout the length of my usage, I recommended it to several friends who ultimately bought it as well and they all have had nothing but praise for the device. The only reason I no longer use the phone is due to an upgrade becoming available and I switch to the Note 4. I run Samsung gear whenever possible. I own a Smart tv, Tab 2, S4 and now a Note 4. I plan to Upgrade the tablet in about a week and I can only say that Samsung will forever hold my business and the Tab S looks splendid.
