    Switched over from a GS3 and it is a definite improvement on that. While this phone will have lots of features you will never use, it has many you will. One thing I will note is screen size. The phone is smaller than my GS3 yet the screen is bigger. If you can get your hands on one, play with it for 20 minutes. It quickly becomes comfortable to text and hold. Characters are easy to see and type. Screen is crystal clear. A friend of my recently switch over from a IPhone 5 which he loved. After about a week of anger and regret he now says he loves it. There is a learning curve if you have never used android before so I don't recommend switch during a moment in your life where your phone is indispensable. If you have Android already, more of the same with a heap of "cool guy" stuff you don't.

    So far I have no complaints about this phone. It out performs the iPhone on so many levels. I love how fast it moves from one app to the next and the bigger screen really makes it nice to read emails or Facebook. A huge thumbs up!

    after considerable consideration, I made the jump from an iphone to the new galaxy. lots to like with the new phone, but the user interface is not nearly as intuitive as that of the iphone. the galaxy is big, and that actually make texting will driving extremely difficult (a great thing, not that I would ever do that anyway). most of my "challenges" with the phone are due to the transition from an iphone (finding how to do certain things, having to find new apps for certain functions as there are not exact versions for the galaxy, having to double confirm certain actions, etc.) No regrets for making the change, but still not as comfortable with the phone as I would expect to be after 3 weeks.

    Love this phone. It's light weight, takes great pictures and can do so many things. The sound quality is good and the screen which thought was a bit big at first, is actaully the perfect size. Battery life is quite short depending on what you use it for.

    I have had an iphone my previous three phones. I replaced my 4s with the Samsung S4. There was definitely an adjustment period. The first week I hated it. I couldn't find anything, wasn't used to android, it's seemed overly large. I have had it for two weeks now and I still sometimes have a hard time figuring things out, but the picture is much better when watching movies and the Internet is very fast. I also love that I can control even my uverse box with my phone which is useful when I lose the remotes! I'm overall satisfied with the switch.. but will say the batter life sucks and there is still a few things I cannot figure out. If you are an iphone user and are worried about your music don't be I literally put in sd card into laptop copied all my music into a folder on desktop saved it to sd card and put card in my phone and there was all my music.

    The Galaxy 4S is nothing short of having a literal pocket pc. Extremely fast speeds in relation to Internet 4G and over all device performance. The predictive texting feature is much richer than other devices that I've used in the past. Other features such as facial recognition and hands free scrolling just add the icing to the cake. It's a highly recommend switch from that fruit company if you love to be in control of your technology.

    First off, this smartphone is very responsive to your touch. My old HTC inspire was good while it lasted but towards the end of its life, it required me to swipe the screen several times before it did what I wanted it to. The Galaxy S4 seems to even sense the presence of my finger when it hovers over the screen. I love that it is fast at loading apps and even websites when I'm browsing the web. What I also LOVE about this phone is the camera that it comes with. It is freaking awesome! :-D The quality of the pictures just blow me away! Honestly, try it out for yourself and you won't regret it! :-)

    This phone is great. I was hesitant to switch from an iPhone to an Android phone. But I absolutely love it. This Samsung S4 has a great size screen for viewing. The phone is light weight and slim to fit into pockets.

    Having owned the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, the jump in specs and features has grown tenfold from that phone to the Galaxy S4. Detractors may say that a majority of the features the average person may never use, but that the phone can do all those things tells you how far smartphones have come and how a device can become a big part of your everyday life. The S4 essentially replaces my point-and-shoot camera, camcorder, PDA (yes, I've aged myself by owning one of these), GPS, organizer, calculator, checkbook, MP3 player, video player, office software and more, off the top of my head. I'm more an Android purist, so I'm sometimes at odds with TouchWiz, and the carrier apps ("carrier bloat") is taking up space, but overall, it's a great phone!

    I got this phone as an upgrade, I used to have flip phone and I thought it would be difficult to use the smartphone but I was wrong. This phone is user friendly and easy to use, took me little bit of time to get used to it, but after I used it for several weeks I had no problem. I like it a lot, it has map navigation, easy to access texting and other features. Would recommend to anyone who has flip phone.

    Sound quality is REALLY good when I have my bluetooth in when listening to things other than a phone conversation...ie youtube videos. I really need to experiment more with this phone, but so far so good. The size is perfect.
