    Great phone, little too big.

    The phone is everything it's advertised to be - including big. It's fast, has a great screen. pics, etc. It is a little too big, but my fear that it would be too bulky to handle was unfounded. I can manage it with 1 hand at times. Cases/chargers/etc are easily available. I travel abroad, and although it IS unlocked (out of the box) for use internationally with a foreign carrier's SIM (I don't think you could use it on another US carrier though) - it took a while to figure out how to configure it. BUT, it is almost impossible to remove the sim card from the slot: you have to take out the battery, then use a pin or paper clip to push it out of the slot. And removing the micro SD card is even harder. Most people wont have those issues - once in, they will never remove the sim or memory cards. Bottom line: Great phone for Android lovers!

    This is my first smartphone. I love being able to use the web when I am out and about. I love having my weather - temperature and precipitation -information on the home screen. I love the camera on the phone and not having to carry around another piece of equipment. My pictures are always with me too. I can easily show off pictures of my grand kids. The goggle map app is great for getting around. I never have to carry around books to read while waiting for an appointment, they are on my phone. I can download podcasts and listen to them too. I have not put ITunes on it yet, but I will.i love the mobile hot spot feature too, very easy to set up. Only a couple of drawbacks one the phone is a bit large it does not really fit in my pocket. Two, most of my friends and family have iPhones so the sBeam feature is not useful to me.

    Phone takes really good pictures. It is really easy to use. I like the Android operating system. There are lots of neat features that I haven't even began to use, but I'm sure I will. I would recommend this phone to all my friends and family.

    The phone is great to use with nice features like S beam which makes it easy to transfer files. The screen is great looking very crisp picture and fine detail. Size is right on just big enough to operate in one hand and fits in my front pocket very well. If you own a Samsung WIFI Then it is a big with allshare .

    You simply cannot beat the Samsung smartphones for ease of use, versatility, compatibility, and fast processing. Anyone using an iPhone 5s that has not yet tried a Samsung smartphone is simply living in the dark ages - no comparison....

    I debated and did a lot of research before deciding on which phone I wanted to commit to for the next two years. I am very happy so far with the Samsung Galaxy S 4. The camera takes really great pictures, the speed while browsing on the internet is really fast, and the clarity of the screen and things viewed on it are amazing. The only thing I don't care for is the actual size of the phone. It doesn't fit in pockets very well, but atleast it will fit in my purse. But you need to have the bigger screen size to have a better viewing picture.

    It's the best phone I've purchased. It does so much. And the camera and sharing features is excellent. And to my surprise easy to use. Almost everyone at work has switched over to S4 from Apple. And we are learning to uise it together.

    All around it's a pretty good phone. Very fast and light weight. I suggest you be careful when putting it in your pocket and trying out new furniture. Lost it in a reclining love seat and spent 4 hours checking all furniture in the store!

    The phone was purchased for business purposes and connected easily to our Office365 system. Had a Droid Charge previously and this phone is a significant step up in speed, signal quality, and is lighter. Would definitely recommend.

    I love this phone more then any other phone on the market. I've tried everything from iPhone any generation to sever versions of the HTC One. They all sucked horribly. The S4 is exactly what I needed and the price of $1 plus a $100 Best Buy giftcard made the decision easier. I had originally wanted the Note 3 but I was told by the Best Buy team how bad it was. I messed with a display model and it's bulky and very very slow so the S4 was recommended. Every app has worked that I have tried and it's the fastest phone I've ever had. Even the s5 can't compete with the S4. Not to much of a difference but the S4 is faster. My only complaint is that the battery life is short but with how powerful this phone is it is to be expected so I am fine with it.

    Comparing to the S3 that I had for a year and a half prior to this, the S4 is so much better! The battery actually lasts the whole day! I would have to charge the S3 at least once, usually twice a day. It has taken a while to trust that the battery will last. It does. The screen resolution is another positive change with the S4. I use multiple email programs - for work and personal use. Best overall phone on the market today! BUY IT!!

    I upgraded from the Droid Bionic and the Samsung 4S is a way better phone. The screen is crisp and clear and the processor speed is fast. Boot time is quick and the Wi-Fi antenna picks up networks and doesn't drop them.

    Great phone and a great upgrade from the GS3. Camera is great and it's all very easy to use. There is a little lag when you touch buttons like Phone or Camera from the Home Screen, but other than that, it's awesome.
