Excellent battery life

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

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

Large, highres display, Great camera features, Compact for its size, Decent battery life
Plastic construction, Generic design, Cluttered interface, Dysfunctional features

Huge display in a not so huge phone, excellent camera, removable battery, entertaining new features
Feature overload, only 9 gigs of internal storage on 16 gig model, still slippery
The Samsung Galaxy line of smartphones is a juggernaut; like the iPhone, the next generation will sell well based simply on brand loyalty, trust and familiarity. Even so, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a lot to offer, and though I wasn't overwhelmed with l...

Samsung is the reigning king of Android and although I don't think the Galaxy S 4 is the best smartphone available, it doesn't matter because it's got enough to keep their brand loyalty. It's faster, thinner, smaller, and has more features than any other...
