Its a very good phone, I dont even read those posts saying oh its overheating or somethin, ppl stop playing games on it and it wont overheat. Obviously everything overheats if it is being used. haha. No problems with it what so ever.

Galaxy S4 is a Winner!

Phone owned for less than a month

So, I had originally purchased the HTC One with it's beautiful aluminium body and HTC Sense 5.0 interface. It was an amazing phone, but when I finally got my hands on the Samsung S4, it was a no brainer. The Samsung UI has a much more up to date feel. The HTC UI is good, but feels very boxy to me and has not changed too much over the past 4 years. The camera was also a big player in my decision. The HTC was very good, but low light picture taking situations were near impossible. With the S4, the 13mp camera really shines and takes good quality pics in a variety of conditions. There are also more camera options on the S4. The one thing I do not like about the S4 is the platic build of the body. This has been a long time dislike of mine when it comes to Samsungs devices. However, I have had the S3, Note, and Note 2. All of which used the same plastic builds and they all held up fairly well. Especially in a decent case with a screen protector. Overall, it's a great phone. By far the best on the market right now. I would certainly recomend the S4 to anyone looking for a high powered smartphone jam packed with options for all kinds of users.

Awsome device, Galaxy S4 king

Phone owned for less than a month

For me is just simply the best android smartphone out there, its blazzing fast processor, great deal of useful sensors, very nice camera, All in all it really worths the upgrade from the S3, the only negatives i find is actually the build quality which could be better and the touchwiz interface which lacks some optimization but for sure this will be adressed via software.

Great Replacement for my SIII

Phone owned for less than a month

Although it has only been a little under a week since I received the phone, I am extremely excited about the upgrade from my galaxy SIII. I don't know what all the talk about the build quality is really about. I keep my phone in a case and this phone feels just as good as the HTC One when I held them both in the store. Aluminum sounds good, but I don't know if it really makes that much difference. I didn't try out the One's speakers but GS4 sounds good enough for how I will be using the phone. I really like the improvements to the camera, mail and messaging apps and the screen is Amazing. This will definitely last me until next year!

It is better than expected.

Phone owned for less than a month

It is better than I and other freinds expected. I was using GS2. In my region there is no LTE (or 4G) network but there is 43 Mbit 3G conection (dual carrier) and this phone dual carrier compatible. It is plastic but I want to say something about this. I do not like using extra protective accessories like cover or pouch or even screen protector and when you use the phone naked like I do it is better to be plastic or policarbonish something. I did not touch HTC One but iPhone 5 is very slippery if you have no cover or protective something not slippery. In this stuation plastic is the better choice for me.

Really well put together!

Phone owned for less than a month

I love the IR features, the Camera takes crisp Photos and Video. Gaming apps are smooth and vibrant, streaming video on it is fast to buffer and smooth to watch. Bluetooth works with my Uconnect in my car quite well. I love the Wifi direct, I can send stuff to my friends much faster than Bluetooth and NFC if they are large files.
The phone is very easy to customize, I spent all day moving stuff from my phone, reinstalling my apps, setting up ringtones and backgrounds and I didn't find any hangups, everything seems to be set up for ease of use without restricting advanced controls. I wish the screen got brighter during the day but ti goes low enough at night for ease of viewing.

Nice and good but not revolutionary

Phone owned for less than a month

Overall, very good and if they wanted to break the sales record they should'nt have lied to us by telling that exynosversion didnt support 4g, the price is also too high - just like apple.
If they dont change their path to another alternative than apple's, they will lose a lot of customers
