Polished hardware and software. Improves upon winning formula. Powerful quadcore processor. Userreplaceable battery. Great camera. Expandable storage.
Plastic design is not for everyone, particularly on a flagship phone. HTC One delivers tough competition.

Its similarities in form and style to the Galaxy S3 give us pause in recommending it as an upgrade though. Despite the software enhancements, it seems awfully, awfully similar. We do love that, in comparison to the HTC One, it offers a removable battery a...

That the GALAXY S 4 will be a best-seller is pretty much a given at this stage. A combination of cutting-edge hardware, blanket advertising, and no small amount of headline-grabbing sparring with Apple has left the Galaxy series as the de-facto Androi...

It's been a while since we used a Galaxy S3 as our daily driver, and in many ways our Galaxy S4 review process has been a nostalgic experience. The S3 was a device that we greatly enjoyed using, and getting to know this year's version has reminded us why...
