Excellent battery life
Impressive screen
Outstanding camera
First looks are deceiving
It is not till one feels this device in the hand and you have switched on the display that one starts to get the impression that this device is a tad different. Then the speed kicks in suddenly you realise that you are the owner
Stunning screen
Superfast processor
Great camera
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has Android 4.2.2

TouchWiz
Weird button layout
Some performance issues
Too many gimmicks
UI can be overwhelming
Slippery
Plastic build
The biggest issue I had with this device was the battery which chewed through power when I had several apps running. Properly managed this issue can be controlled and when you are travelling and don't have access to a desktop top up make sure that you are
Feels cheaper than similarpriced phones
'Innovation' makes things too complex
Slight UI issues
Its screen is dimmer than competitors'
Its plastic design gives it a cheaper look than its rivals
And we found the Galaxy S4's power button turned on at undesirable times. Not all camera modes work as promised

Gorgeous 5-inch display, Slim, small chassis, Great camera performance in well-lit scenes, The rear speaker is sufficiently loud, A bevy of software features for the taking, Battery life that usually lasts most the day
The build and materials feel cheap, Low-light camera performance is poor, Call quality could be better, Intermittent lag and hesitation, Lots of Samsung and AT&T bloatware,
