Samsung Galaxy S4 User Reviews

I got the Samsung Galaxy S4 only 3 weeks ago and it had poor speakers and no sound notifications on messages. I took it to the Samsung repair center and they said the motherboard was defective but said I broke it by trying to access the admin functions which is complete nonsense, and therefore I voided the warranty!! I never touched it, no more Samsung products for me ever again, watch out they sell defective merchandise then pass the blame on you!!

I own an s4 for 2 years now. Its general performance is great, very quick phone. The only problem is the battery life. It lasted only 2 months. Since then I have to charge it 2-3 times a day!! With all the apps closed, screen brightness lowest possible and wi-fi on almost 24/7. I even bought a new battery. Same problem from the beginning.

After using galaxy s4, i will upgrade still to galaxy s4. you can say i have been almost like brainwashed into loving this awesome phone. i came from a galaxy s3 and jumping to s4 i immediately noticed the difference. the screen is indisputably beautiful with full HD recording and playback capabilities. the battery life is above average under normal usage it gets me through the day without charging it and on 3g. my s4 is running kitkatt and i must say i sometimes push it to the limit to make it fail but it always come through. it handles games marvelously. the phone although made of plastic, it feels and looks very classy. this phone completely satisfy my needs and all i expect from a phone.

My galaxy s4 is now two years old and it is still in perfect condition. I use this on a regular basis daily and other than an occasional sluggish feel from the UI, it is a fast and reliable phone. This phone is the perfect choice if you are looking for an affordable all-rounder smartphone, with great features and the freedom of Android OS.

i have samsung galaxy s4 i9500 black gold edition overall all its a good mobile only the problem is battery.its battery timing enough its just gives me 2 to 3 hour of usage and 10 to 12 hour without use

This is my second Galaxy S4. It's a really good phone that you can trust, but if you want a phone that lasts long, it might not be your best choice.

Overall the phone is perfect, but for me, i think i'm an average user, it'll only last (from 100%) about 2,5-3,5hrs which comparing to 2014-15 devices it pretty bad.
All this by using Facebook for a bit, playing 1-2 games for 20-30mins, maybe taking a few pictures, and browsing for 1-2 hours. Calls don't seem to draing the battery, and the brightness is always on low.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S4 Plus Black Edition 16GB (GT-I9506). It cost 2400 NOK ($320), which is very cheap. The phone has a very good display and a very good camera, which makes it enjoyable to take pictures. And you have much photo editing choices. The design I like very well - I have the Black Edition. The front color is real black, not like the S4 grey-black. The backside is fake leather. It's plastic, but it feels just like real leather. People don't like the S4 because of the plastic use, but with the Black Edition the phone looks and feels much more expensive and premium.

I miss this phone a bit. It did a little of everything i asked. None of it great, but all better than average. replaceable battery, sd card slot, easy to fix. Slap a good case on it, and your all set. I should have kept this one, and not gotten the s6.....

A user-friendly phone, with quite a lot of useful features. Recommended to teenagers who likes to look cool. It could be one of the best phones in 2014, but it would be out-dated in 2015 because most of its features are available in other new phones.

I've had this phone for almost 2 years, I use it everyday and it works just as great as the day I bought it! I'm a little rough with the phone too as I've cracked the screen twice when I dropped it on pavement. Both cameras take great quality pictures. The phone is super fast. My husband has the same phone and neither of us ever had 1 problem with it! The only issue I had is I broke the screen and it was expensive to fix (I called around to several places and came to the realization it's just an expensive fix).

Almost two years ago I bought a Galaxy S III. I was happy with it but unfortunately I borke it's display. So I decided to go for a S4 instead of repairing the S III (which would cost quite a bit). I installed Android L on it. For now I'm more thank happy with it!

I was wondering if there is a recall on this phone!! In our family we have two S4s and after using for little more than 1 yr, both of them are not working properly. Wifi portion is all right, but cellular line the phones cannot make or receive any calls. When i started finding more information about this phone in my close friend circle, i found another 2 had the same problem. One of them changed her phone 5 times !! How can i report this to consumer bureau? Edit (in 8 minutes)

One of the best Samsung phones! Removable battery, Micro SD expansion, Super AMOLED Display, Makes it one of the best Samsung Phones in the market. Lollipop update is coming soon so it should make it more stable. I would recommend this to anyone who doesnt care about the build quality.

Well its a really great phone full of a great specs .. i recommend it to everyone wants a hi-end phone with a slim body and a good screen size...
But be aware that you will have to use a thick cover to protect that tiny monster :D

Really good device .
I have it for almost 2 years now and so far so good
The camera is just perfect and quality is perfect.
But it's sometimes laggy but overal it can run all the heavy games that is on the play store

No regrets in the last one year for choosing it over others. Nice specs and display. The camera is just excellent. 2GB of RAM makes the performance be very smooth. Waiting for Lollypop update. I wish the device will be much more smoother with it

Unfortunately the screen has crashed on the first month of use, but it is still working.
The camera takes good photos in strong light, provided you have the object on focus and steady hands.
I am very upset with the lag user interface and the poor life of the battery.

I have s4 for more than year and half . First I was having a problem with the battery on jellybean 4.2.2 and I changed it twice but now it's not bad after kitkat . And it was heat also on 4.2.2 but after the last update this phone changed but I really hate the build quality and the interface ( because of lagging of course )

I prefer ( G2_Z1_Z2_S5_Nexus 5 )

Overall, I can only say good of S4, as my analysis suggests, it works very well at all, does well what it promises, the only thing you should take into metal rim and not plastic, and the battery may be a bit of power, and must bring radio.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a great all-around phone for use as a daily driver. Battery life for me is good, I typically get a full day's usage without having to reach for the charger. Call quality is good. There are a lot of features (Smart Pause, Smart Stay, Smart Scroll) that I have yet to use. Simply put, this phone is loaded. The size is perfect for people not wanting a phablet but wanting something a little larger than the iPhone 5S.

I got my Galaxy S4 the day it came out for Verizon. I have fully enjoyed it ever since. I had it rooted for a while and this was the only time I ever had any trouble with it. Swype was laggy, apps would crash and all sorts of other issues. But once KitKat was pushed out to the devices, everything was gravy again. I would recommend this phone to everyone I know! I especially like the IR blaster. I use it all the time.

The S4 was one of the most popular phones of 2013. I switched from iOS to the S4 and I really liked it. Samsung's TouchWiz user interface really slowed the whole phone down, and was pretty ugly. Some Samsung apps like the phone app had a white theme while apps like the settings were black. The Air Gestures and Smart features worked, but they were complete gimmicks, and I never used them. The S4 looked pretty good, and I liked the physical home button, but the build quality wasn't that good. The phone would make this really bad creaking noise if it was slightly bent at all. The phone played games well and the camera was good, but in the end there was just too much Samsung bloat. The nice things about this phone is micro SD card expansion, Replaceable battery, and 1080p Super Amoled Screen. The camera was really sharp, and good. The speaker wasn't great. The phone had some cool non-gimmick features like 2 apps on the screen at once waving your hand over the screen while its locked to see the time. Over all this phone convinced me never to go back to Apple, but it didn't convince me that Samsung was the right android manufacturer. I ended up selling my S4 for a LG G3. The S4 was a pretty good device, with some cool features, but eventually TouchWiz just pushed me away.

still better i am enjoin this phone gaming watching movie any thing we
Really love it camera still better brilliant Super amoled display Great viewing angle
still running latest kitkat galaxy s4 will get android l tooo

a good phone, but way too expensive for what it offers. should try finding a cheaper and thus better alternative out there. i think no flagship it's worth the money.
the iphone has a battery that sucks, etc
