Customer Ratings & Reviews

I waited for this phone to be free with a contract renewal and found it at Best Buy over Thanksgiving. I have had a number of Samsung phones including a Captivate and this S 4 is by far the best. I highly recommend it. I am not going to write a long review because there are many, many great detailed reviews on the web.

I have just upgraded from the Samsung Fascinate and is awesome for the speed from 3G to 4G plus all the new features. The S4 has so many gadgets that I have not applied them all yet but on my way. The features are not fun but smart i.e. looking at the screen and it recognizing when I look away and shuts off, excellent!

It was good for the time that I had it, but I upgraded to the S6 and gave this to my wife. It still going.

Galaxy S4 is a great budget phone with decent camera quality and overall performance. Not recommended for low light photos.

LOVE IT ... LOVE IT ... LOVE IT The picture quality is awesome and the battery life is very long....I am so happy with this phone !! I have had an iphone and was really happy with it. I was going to upgrade to another iphone, but heard so much about this Samsung Galaxy 4, that I wanted to try it. So glad I did.

This is a great phone with lots of new features. Especially compared to my old Samsung infuse. Haven't had the chance to try everything but so far I like all the new features. Was to big on scrolling email and web pages by tilting your head, but you can change it to tilt the phone to scroll, what I use, or turn the option off. Both cameras take realy good pictures. Still working with all the new options but so far so good. The sound quality is excellent. Phone calls and music are crystal clear especially after you set up the Adapt Sound. Just had 2 issues with the phone. One it seems to drain battery quicker some days, but just keep an eye on your running apps and wifi/blue tooth if your not using them turn them off. Two, phone with its plastic caseing seems a little fragile. My kid broke the screen on mines a week after I bought it. Luckily got the Best Buy insurance up front this time and they got me a replacement within 2 days. A case is highly recommended, I went with an Otter Box Defender. Takes away from the slimness of the phone but well worth it.

This phone has an excellent quality of video. you can install any APPS. The processor is super fast.

I upgraded to the S4 awhile back and so far, I have no significant complaints. SPEED: Samsung has come a long way with their TouchWiz interface and I really like the UI they've packaged on this phone. PHYSICAL: Thin and sleek. The phone itself has a solid feel to it, much less "cheap" feeling than previous Galaxy devices. It is trimmed with a metal band and has a solid feel in your hand. CAMERA: I love the camera on this phone. The photos come out crisp and clear with the automatic settings and there are a variety of built in editing options and a flash. It also takes good HD video. SPECIAL FEATURES: The S4 comes with some really cool features. I would recommend looking them up for more information. SOUND: Sound is decent. You can listen to music loud and fairly clear via the devices built in speaker without earphones. CONS: The plastic feel to the case, and battery life is decent, but not great. Using the device regularly with calls and text, and listening to music and watching videos the battery can usually get me through full day.

Ive been an iPhone person for yrs.... I decided to use my upgrade and purchase the Galaxy S4. The transition was smooth and easy. I enjoy the size of the screen, love the camera, and apps are great. This phone had a lot of options. Would I choose a Galaxy over the iPhone again? Yes! I love my Galaxy.

This phone is the best I have ever owned really simple to use and super fast with everything that I do with my phone. I would recommend this phone to everyone :) 22 hours of battery life and bright detailed screen and no lagging or force closing of apps. All I can say is wow. This phone is a great one!

This phone is greater than what I expected. The battery lasts for almost two days on a full charge and I use this phone frequently throughout the day. Also the sound of my music is of great quality. I couldnt have picked a better phone for price and quality of product. I highly recommend it.

Great highly advanced technology. Takes the most brilliant lifelike pictures. It's just like a real life portrait only more brilliant colored. Can voice text while driving without looking down. Fits easily in my shirt pocket. I would recommend and have recommended this phone to many friends.

Larger than my iPhone 5 and I love it. The larger screen size adds just that little extra to make you feel like you're holding a tablet, yet the phone is still so slim, sleek and easy to handle. The touch screen is easy to use and the apps are terrific. I love everything about this phone!

The phone works great and the features are easy enough for my mother to operate the phone.

I like that this phone is larger than the iPhone. The operating system and all its features are a breath of fresh air seeing as apple seems to have fallen behind. I like that it has expandable memory and I don't have to worry about not having enough space. All around a great phone.

I'm a software engineer leading a team developing a mobile application. I find the Galaxy S4 (and the Android OS behind it) to be far superior to the iPhone. Our project is pushing the envelope on the use of HTML5, including client-side storage, off-line web applications (indexedDB, Appcache, web workers, etc.) The technologies available on iPhone/iPads are close to 5 years out of date. I test our app on the S4, Nexus7, Asus 10" tablets, iPads, and IPhones. The S4 is extremely effective at helping do my job. And, it's also a nice phone. (I don't talk on the phone that much, but, it seems to work well for that as well.)

This phone is not to bad. It is fast, great camera, and display. There are some glitches I have experienced. The one that I noticed the most is when I am surfing the web most of the pictures it displays are blue. I haven't had the chance to have it looked at yet. I think its software and to have it fixed soon.

this phone made a great music player storage abd social media device love the phone

The Galaxy S4 is great. I like android phones over iPhones for their ease of use. The great thing about the S4 is that it is organized like other android phones. The air gestures and other features are easy to use and give the S4 an original feel. The only thing that is not so great is how sleek and thin the phone is. The S4 pretty big, a plus for me. I thought this was a plus on the phone until I carried it around for a while. Within a week, it slipped out of my hand (I have never dropped a phone before). Even with this 'downfall' I think the phone is great. I bought a couple of protective cases for some style but they also fix the slippery issue. (The S4 is popular so cases are easy to find). Overall, the phone gets 5 stars.

Nice phone, picture quality is fantastic, battery life is pretty good so far. Could improve the speakers but hey it is a phone. Overall, recommended buy to upgrade.
