Completes Collection
Customer Rating
4.0
The 1st Expendables is still the best but this completes the collection. The extras gives good insight in the direction of story line and why certain actors were chosen to be in part 3.

What's great about it: Alot of built in camera features and fliters without downloading a photo app, removable battery
What's not so great: battery life should be better in stand by mode (could be inherent of CDMA network)
Over all size of the phone is great for calls (although I use Bluetooth 95% of the time) and internet browsing (less fatigue on the eyes). With the advancement in software and apps, it is hard to see a speed difference with a quad core processor compared to a single core phone purchased 3 years ago. But the same applies to the PC as well. If you could create a web page with the basics of the 90's and access with a current quad core PC, page load would be instantaneous before you could blink. I have used this phone side by side with a Note II (on T Mobile) and battery run down is even during use with both screens set on full brightness. The difference comes during stand by mode and you will notice a major difference in battery run down with the S4. The Sprint technician conclusion was a bad battery, which was not the case. New battery discharges just as fast in stand by mode. Mind you I have have all of the new Galaxy features turned off. 2nd issue with power consumption is with the recharge speed with the standard issued charger. While in use, the phone is still discharging instead of recharging while connected to the standard charger. Luckily, I had Nokia Rapid Chargers (home and auto) that charges the phone while in use (3 hours max recharge time from 2% charge left on battery). The same issue exist as well if you try to charge via USB from a laptop or desktop. At times, this is a major frustration with the S4. The 1080p screen is excellent for You Tube and Vevo use (and most likely Netflix...I do not use that app). The phone does vibrate for some reason on intial pick up of the phone from a resting position. That is extra power used for no reason. Cannot find the feature to turn off that is activating the gyro on pick up. Camera is excellent for day time use aloing with a icon for swicthing between front and rear cameras. Night time shots, the "auto" flash seems to have a mind of its own and does not always flash requiring me to change the setting to" flash on" and retaking the picture.
This product is... Good video quality, removable battery
About me... Use for phone calls only, Heavy texter, Heavy apps user, photo taker, video recorder, internet browsing/reading

can i use this phone in india
I believe there is a 60 or 90 day waiting period and Sprint will activate the GSM transceiver in the mobile. But you are restricted to a SIM provided by Sprint and their roaming rates (if I am not mistaken).

Battery Life
Is there a difference in the batteries sold here at Best Buy versus those sold at Sprint? The battery life on Sprint's website is 15 hours of talk time, but Best Buy only lists 8. Thanks.
Best Buy is listing a more realistic battery time for the S4 on Sprint or Verizon. at&t and T Mobile versions can get closer to the 15 hour time. Talk time is also dictated by distance of mobile to tower. Longer the distance, the shorter the talk time because the phone is being told to increase it's power to maintain RSSI (signal strength). Increased power...more battery drain.

Is the phone unlock?
Only phones based on GSM/UMTS networks (at&t and T Mobile) can be made by OEM as "unlocked" or later unlocked by the carrier it was sold by (unless you know a hacker or a person that works at the OEM company). CDMA (IS-95) carrier (Verizon and Sprint) phones are all locked to the carrier and they go one step further by having a product code listing within their network. If the carrier did not buy the phone it will not work from another carrier although it is a CDMA phone.

Why does the Spring and Verizon phone only have up 8 hours of talk time?
Why does the Spring and Verizon phone only have up 8 hours of talk time while the Unlocked version has up to 23 Hours of talk time? If i get the unlocked version then connect it to sprint will it still have up to 23 hours of talk time?
In short, the unlocked phones are GSM/UMTS based. So, they will not work on Sprint or Verizon's CDMA (IS-95) networks. CDMA networks (Sprint and Verizon) cause a greater battery drain on a mobile. In CDMA, it would operate best if cell coverage areas can overlap one another. But that is impossible because of buildings, highways, or just zoning that will not allow this to happen. This triggers the rake receiver (multiple fingers locking on to multiple cells..normally 3 will lock while one is searching for next best signal) in the phone to work harder to maintain proper RSSI (signal strength). Performance is slightly better on W-CDMA (used by at&t and T Mobile) because of the guidelines set forth by 3GPP.org. Talk time is slightly better depending on distance of tower (cells) but some features are based off of GSM standards and maintaining battery life of the mobile is a priority. Hopefully this helped without getting into the full theory of CDMA vs W-CDMA
