A blinding number of features; Incredibly fast; Spectacular call quality

Plastic body; Low-light photo performance could be better; Expensive; up front

The phone has an awesome screen Comes with too much bloatware(does take some time to clean it up) The battery life is about as long as you would expect from a 5" display phone this thin(1 day if you don't use it too much)

Comparing to Galaxy S3 it has better camera but battery drains faster and price is higher. Also had some connectivity issues when turning airplane mode on and off. It shows that airplane mode is off and shows full antenna bar however I couldn't make any calls and there was no internet.

Best phone.

You'd think Samsung's gameplan for this year would be pretty simple after shifting more than 50 million Galaxy S3s . Make last year's stonkingly successful phone slightly bigger and slightly better, sell bucketloads, then kick back and blow raspberries at the competition until 2014 rolls around.

Gutsy and powerful; Lush screen

Underwhelming design; New gestures a bit gimmicky

Android is in a strange place right now. Taken as a whole, it dominates the smartphone market. But as Apple CEO Tim Cook couldn't help but point out earlier this month , the majority of those devices are running a version of the operating system created in 2010.

People!! STOP complaining about battery life on t hess phones! What do you expect? Smartphones do more and more with each new phone so its only obvious that your batteries will be used up faster.

As the flagship in Samsung's Galaxy smartphone lineup, the S4 is a leader in its bracket. With a 5-inch 1080p display, a 13-megapixel camera and a powerful Snapdragon chipset, the phone has the features and power to handle most anything mobile device users might ask for.
