    Finally traded in the iPhone!!

    I have been a huge Apple/iPhone advocate since the first iPhone came out. Apple hasn't done much to address the issues there consumers have with their products. So I finally switched to the S4. I tried the S3 about 4 months ago, didn't like it and took it back but I love the S4. So many more customizable features and a seemingly huge screen but everything looks huge compared to the iPhone screen. If you are considering the switch but are hesitant don't be. You will be thrilled with this amazing phone.

    I'm upgrading from the AT&T galaxy s2 and its well worth the upgrade with the addition of the fast LTE nice display and great software features its all around great phone. I was stuck between this and the HTC One and decided to stick with the galaxy line though I wish the build quality was better the features and software make it worth getting this phone.

    Almost everything about this phone is great. The thirteen megapixel camera is definitely something to consider when buying. Has all kinds of different picture taking modes. Another feature is the "control center". I can turn on wifi and Bluetooth instantly and I can view all notifications and even control the music. I can also customize my home screen in many ways.

    Best phone on the market

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    this phone is phenomenal and can do A LOT. great features in the camera. GREAT sound and it gets very loud and probably the 2nd best speakers next to the htc one. i got use to the size of the phone pretty quick but when compared to iphone it is the big kahuna. i was between this and the iphone and the iphone is cool but it doesnt have as cool features like in camera and lockscreen. BUT there arnt as many cool cases or even otter boxes for the galaxy. so i had to get a 30 buck basic black case.

    I had upgraded my Iphone 4s to the new Iphone 5. But the screen is so much smaller to give you the detail. I couldn't read my text messages. So within my 3 days to change my mind, I returned my new Iphone 5 and got the new Samsung Galaxy s4. I LOVE my new phone. The vibrant colors, all the new options. I am one happy customer and had the BEST service at the Best Buy Mobile store in Woodland Hills Mall, in Tulsa, OK.

    I've always been an iphone user. Thought I would never leave it. However, I felt like I finally wanted a change, even though I was a little scared. I know, weird, but I just didn't know how I would adjust. OH MY GOSH!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER IPHONE!!! I LOVE MY SAMSUNG!!! After my family of Iphone uses checked it out... I think they will be making the switch too. JUST BUY IT!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

    Return Phone Within 4 Hours

    I pick up the phone on May 28th and open the package on 29th. The phone screen is absolutely gorgeous with it's 5 in screen, with it's processor power but the phone came with a speaker defect, there's nothing coming through the speaker which even incoming phone calls doesn't ring up and you don't even know if someone is calling you, the experience with it wasn't that great. I went to the Samsung Professional help and he diagnosis the phone, re-flash OS, then update the OS but nothing had make the speakers to work, and finally he has certified that this phone was a defect. I only have experience my phone for four hours, and this wasn't a good experience with. I still have faith in all Samsung product but if it comes in as a defect, that is just unreasonable because of the price that we pay for this phone.

    Great Smart Phone

    This is my first smartphone so I can't really compare it to other phones of similar specs. I use it for everything. Everything works as expected except for the eye tracking capabilities. Eye tracking is a joke on this device and only works indoors with perfect lighting of the users face. It only works if you hold the phone it the "sweet spot". I've never bothered to use the feature. Everything else about the phone is great. It has 1080p HD display and is great for watching movies.

    I had old htc mytouch phone with prepaid carrier. I couldn't stand it bc the signal was so bad and get disconnected all the time. So I decided to join Verizon, and I found this S4 for $1.00 with 2 yr contract. Me and my husband both got this one and we love it. Now my sister wants to get Verizon phone and she will soon to get S4. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    It's almost the same as Note II but it's .5" smaller. But the features is much better. The IR blaster works great on our home theater and tvs!

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the best smartphone yet. Samsung has been doing a real good job creating amazing products. I am extremely happy I put the iPhone away and got this phone. If you are in the market for buying a phone, this is the best one out there. The GS4 also has so many cool features. Anywhere from smart scroll to air gesture, it works perfectly.
