    I love this smartphone, but with all the preinstalled apps (that I will never use), it drains the battery faster than it should. After disabling many of those apps, my battery life is average. The camera produces superb photos and I like the fact that I can take a picture just by saying the word "shoot". I also enjoy the greater flexibility in customizing this phone, as compared to an iPhone. Overall, it's a great value.

    I switched from an Iphone to the Galaxy 4 and am very satisfied. I am still in the process of figuring out everything the phone can do, but so far it surpasses my previous phone. The 13 mp camera takes great photos. I like the Android operating system a lot better. The processor on this is very fast. The only thing I don't like is the spell check when texting, but getting used to it.

    Decent phone, good sized screen and great camera. Only problem I find is the glare from any light source when you take a picture, but that seems to be normal for every smart phone I've had. Upgraded from an S3, but haven't really seen much different except battery life.

    This is by far the best of all Samsung Phones. This is very light weight and looks sleek, professional, and classy. It has an unbelievable long lasting battery life regardless of using browser or multiple long phone calls. The price is great whether it may seem expensive to some, it is definitely well worth every cent and will be completely satisfied with their purchase.

    Coming from an iPhone 4, there was a certain learning curve with the Android OS that took longer than expected, but overall I've been very pleased. The screen is just outstanding with its color and sharpness. I was amazed with how fast it is and its smoothness between apps. The camera is great also, both in daylight and in low light. Makes it easier to leave the compact camera home when you have this phone.

    I really like this phone, it is definitely an improvement over previous years phone styles. It has great memory on board and great battery life. Only issue I have is the size of buttons on bottom of screen for any one with larger hand you sometimes don't get the back button to work properly.

    I upgraded from an Iphone 4 to the Galaxy S4. I enjoy the screen quality and size. It takes a bit getting used to the change from IOS to Android. I wish there was a way to remove the ATT and Samsung apps that I'm not going to use. I haven't found a way to sync my desktop Outlook with the Android, without paying a $30+ fee. So I'm still working on a calendar sync app.

    I traded in my Iphone after getting sick of the problems of the new IOs. I really like the Samsung. Alot more features and customization with the Samsung. I was worry that the phone would be too big but it is actually perfect. Easy to see and use. Touch accuracy is higher than the iphone. I live on the edge of tower service and it seems like this phone has a lower signal capability than the iphone. In normal coverage areas it is just fine. Considering getting a Microcell receiver from Cisco to deal with that problem. The voice recognition (speech to text) is much better on the Samsung than the iphone. The type by drawing lines (swiftkey) is also awesome. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

    This is my wife's first android. Coming from a broken Lumia 1020, she found it very easy to operate and set up. The camera takes great pictures. Expandable memory is great. Having it on At&t is a plus with free cloud storage and super fast data speed. The battery is better than the Lumia 1020 for sure, but not as good as my LG G2. The price at Best Buy was unbeatable and we got a free Galaxy Tab3!

    If a new Galaxy device comes out and there are STILL new things to learn, then this is the device to have always. Great size, better battery, new cooler options, there are so many awesome things to say about an epic device. Have fun turning off other peoples televisions. Gotta love the advertising from Samsung. So much support and multiple accessories to play with

    Best phone on the planet right now

    I jumped ship after having the iPhone 3g and 4. I got sick of their phones slowly breaking down. Battery life was rapidly diminishing, and the antenna always started to die after about 18 months. Had enough. Decided to go with the Galaxy S4, and have not regretted the move. The Galaxy S4 has a much larger screen and better graphics, bar none. I haven't had any problems with my phone, thus far, with the exception that the battery life is starting to show it's age. Perhaps I am having so much fun on my phone that I just end up draining a strong battery? I don't know. But, I am having to put it on the charger before bedtime on a daily basis now. Android system took some getting used to after having an iPhone all these years. However, I picked up on it rather easily. Love the features that are included on this phone, but neglected on the iPhone, such as speech to text available any time the keyboard is accessed. The one minor problem with that is that you can't have any background noise or the recognition program inserts unintended words. This phone will make it very difficult for me to go "off grid" someday! My only regret is that I didn't wait long enough for the waterproof version to come out. Makes me want to trade, already!

    Great phone with lots of features. It takes a while to get to learn all the functions but definitely worth it. The camera is freaking awesome and love the bigger screen. My only issue is the keypad drives me nuts . I didnt have that issue with my IPhone but then again the voice recognition is better than Siri. Battery life could be a little better.

    Good improvement over S3

    The S4 is a good improvement over the S3. The improved battery life and faster processor are the most obvious improvements and most appreciated. Increased resolution on camera is also nice but I find setting the flash on and off to be a pain. Also when listening to music via Bluetooth in my car the volume just goes up on it's own, hopefully a fix will be included in the next update.

    This is a great phone. Some people might find it a bit too large, but for me it is easy to use and I can see what's on the screen without any problems. It is easy to navigate through the apps and the picture quality is the best. The camera on the phone is as good as a stand along digital camera and it has some cool editing features.

    Awesome phone overall. Took me about a week to get used to it after being a long time iPhone user and I was concerned about transferring my music and contacts. Best buy was able to do it in the store. Having a back button comes in very handy. I have never seen a phone take such great photos. Love how easy it is to customize.
