Samsung's Galaxy S series has been considered by many to be the best thing that ever happened to Android. But does the S4, live up to the heritage of the SII and SIII? Looks: Isn't that the SIII?

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.

Beautiful display; Enhanced touch inputs; Great camera; Removable battery; Great performance

Plasticky feel; Slippery case; Questionable TouchWiz interface; Boring hardware design

The Samsung galaxy while packed with tons of features, unfortunately experiences lag due to the touch wiz interface. It also feels cheap due to its plastic build.

H alfway through 2010, Samsung introduced the innovative Galaxy S smartphone to the market. Since then, the enormous hype surrounding the Galaxy S phones has only increased, the S2 improved considerably and became enormously popular. Samsung outdid themselves with the Galaxy S3 .

was a fan of the s3 so when the s4 came out i figured go big or go home. Majority of the features i don't use because its faster using the old fashion way. But its nice to know they are there when i do want to use them.

Samsung's flagship phone is very much a Galaxy phone with a familiar and cheap-feeling plastic build. The layout is virtually identical to the S III and Samsung's thrown a ton of software at it which when married to its quad-core 1.9GHz processor makes it a bit of a beast.

Insanely fast lots of installed apps

Limited onboard storage many embedded apps are useless cheap plastic build

This phone is okay. I had the S3 and dropped it and had to go back to my old smart phone. Got the S4 cause of the features and I remembered when I got it that I didnt much care for the S3 and do not know quire why I got the S4. The features are great but not perfected.

Clear Sound; Durable; Lots of features

freezes

The phone is very good. The software is great, the hardware much better. The phone's memory obviously has a lot of space taken up by the software, however I inserted my memory card from my old desire s and it's fine. I don't have many storage sucking apps. Great phone! Easily beats iPhone 5.

Hardware; software

Quite a lot of bloatware

The phone is very responsive and rarely lags in performing tasks. The display is beautifully vibrant and clear and the features are very good. The only downside is the phone's size, which means one-handed operation is a bit tricky compared to my iphone but, this seems a fair trade off for a better...

The phone is easy to use for the typical stuff, like calling, texting, web browsing, taking pictures and using the calendar. The worst thing about this phone is all of the options with it and all of the different things you can do with it.

Easy to get started

It has a lot of stuff; I have just scratched the surface of what it can do
