    As a long time iPhone user I was really excited about the release of this phone. Over all I'm pleased with it. I love the fact that I can expand the memory and have extra batteries ready to go. The big screen is nice too. I have a slim case for it and it fits in my pocket with no issues. I am disappointed in the lag. For the processor speed I expected faster performance. In the month or so I've owned this device I've performed 3 hard resets due to it "freezing". Overall im pleased with the phone.

    Would recommend this product. Very easy to use & navigate. Screen size is perfect & still capable of being put in your pocket even with an Otter Box protecting it. Screen colors are awesome.

    Bad: There is a lot of bloatware on this phone. There are a lot of google apps, most of which I don't use. (Various Play apps like Books, Magazines, Music etc.) Then, Samsung also added a couple apps that I don't use like the S translate. Finally AT&T put on a bunch of junk like their own navigator, music app, and a few others. You can't get rid of any of them. Luckily, you can hide the apps you don't use in the app drawer. As a result of all this bloatware, out of the 16GB that the phone comes with you are only able to use about 40%. Good: The screen is amazing. This phone is similar in size to my previous Galaxy Nexus, but the screen is much bigger and brighter. To me, the phone is the perfect size. It fits in my pocket and has a screen that I don't mind watching videos or reading websites on. The air gestures are really awesome. I love being able to hover over emails in my email list to take a glance without opening them. I like that I can wave my hand over the screen when it is locked to get a snapshot of my messages and notifications. I also really like being able to wave my hand to scroll sites when I am eating lunch. One thing to note, these features don't work in gmail or chrome, only in the stock apps. I set up my gmail in the stock app just to use this feature. The camera modes are pretty nice too. The one where you can take pictures and remove things that moved is really nice. I used it to take pictures of something that was across a busy street while traffic was moving. I was able to compile a clear shot. The panorama works really smoothly too. SHealth is a really nice app as well. There is a built in pedometer, thermometer, and humidity sensor as well as food/exercise trackers. They have really helped me keep to my fitness goals. And using the thermometer I was able to prove to my boss that the office was well above comfortable temperature a few times. There is also an IR blaster in the phone, which basically lets you control home theater equipment with your phone. I don't use it at home, but I do use it when I go out sometimes. I have changed the channel on tvs in restaurants when I wanted to watch a different game, I also have done it at the gym. I also like that it has a plastic body. I have dropped it from various heights on various materials and so far no major damage, even with just a flip cover rather than a case. As you can tell, I am in love with this phone. It has awesome features. the lack of space doesn't affect me because I have minimal apps and no music on my phone, but others may have issues with it.

    The display gorgeous, really vibrant, and I love the features so far. It's smooth, sleek, very thin. Mini SD card for extra storage!!! So convenient, you have lots of memory space on the palm of your hand.

    Great phone in general. High tech. Its like a slab of screen that can do anything. Best possible specs, incredible screen, 4.2 Jelly Bean, removable back cover with acces to sim and micro-sd. Issues I have run into: plastic build quality, the speakers are not bad but they are not HTC one speakers and battery life is not going to be all day if you use the phone often. I cannot stress to companies that makes phones: STOP LOADING ON YOUR CRAPWEAR. Every company does it but no consumer likes it. Its also important for me to note that my S4 seems to have network issues, pages load very slowly at times. Overall its a great phone though, It focuses everything onto the screen with small bezels and no annoying distractions.

    One thing that is very important to me is the GPS and maps as I travel a lot and use my phone to navigate to different customers. I tried a Samsung phone two years ago and the GPS didn't work so I traded it back in for another phone. I figured when my contract was up I try again and this time the GPS and Maps work great. Sound quality is good and call quality is great when I use the ear buds. It is more my ears than the phone that causes issues but it is usable without the ear buds. Camera works very well and I like the zoom. I have not had any issues with this phone and I have been using it for the past month plus.

    Overall it's a great phone. The big screen is beautiful and it's easy to view web pages, apps, pictures, videos, etc., although the screen kills the battery life. I had to go through and make sure everything that wasn't necessary for my needs was disabled to save battery life. Other complaints are that the rear speaker makes it hard to hear sound when watching videos and I have to cup my hand on the back to help out. Also, it lags sometimes, like when I'm trying to swipe to unlock it does not respond but comes back after a few seconds. I assume it's because of multiple apps running in the background so I have to go terminate them. This may sound bad but I really like the phone.
