I've had this phone for over a month now. I use this phone a lot for keeping in touch with my roller derby team. I've got the Asana and Gmail apps on this phone which allow me to manage tasks and keep on top of people for putting together a derby bout. The phone is fast and takes great pictures. I got the 16gb version thinking I might be in trouble because I love downloading apps, music and taking pictures, but with a 32gb SD card I have no problem. The software upgrade that now allows you to save apps to your SD card was a huuuuuge improvement. Me and my girlfriend both got this phone and the ability to share pictures, music, files, etc. by tapping the phones together is awesome! Also, I watched a CNET.com durability test video and this phone can withstand A LOT! They dropped the phone around 10 times from 10ft and the phone still worked; They soaked it in water for a minute or two before it died, so they stuck it in rice for a day and the phone booted up fine the next day (the iPhone wasn't even close to being that durable: iPhone dropped once, done, soaked in water for under a minute, never turned back on.) The bloatware isn't that bad either, some of them are actually useful to use. I haven't had any problems with my phone either. My girlfriend had a problem where her gallery would freeze, but we deleted the folder in the gallery that was giving us trouble and then it worked fine. The picture files must have just become corrupted somehow, but the files were backed up in Google so we didn't lose the pictures, and they weren't corrupted . Besides that minor issue we resolved pretty quickly, it's a great phone!

Love this phone. The battery lasts all day. Pictures are crystal clear. Pretty large so if you have small hands it takes some getting used to.

I had an S-III and traded it for an S-IV. Both were great phones but the S-IV is faster and slightly larger. The camera is much better.

The phone is super fast when it comes to internet use. The battery life last longer than expected. The phone screen is large enough to be able to read and small enough to fit comfortably in my shirt or pants pocket.
The only thing I do not like is that I can only use the text message alert sounds that are on the phone. So do not bother downloading tones for your text messaging because you won't be able to use it.

I bought this on sale for $49. A great buy. I have 5 phones on my account and all are Samsung. The camera on the phone is excellent and takes nice low light photos with no flash.

I bought this a month ago. So far I have found the phone to be very fast and the camera to be very good. I haven't had any problems with aps hanging or crashing.
I can connect to wifi hotspots when I am way further away from them than with my old phone which is good since my data service is now restricted.
The only problem I have seen with it so far is that it struggles to connect to the mobile network sometimes. I had to turn off the WIFI yesterday to get it connect to the mobile network so I could make a call. This really doesn't make sense to me. Also, if I use it a lot, the battery doesn't last. I am considering upgrading the battery .

The Samsung Galaxy S-4 is easier than my Samsung Galaxy S-3 that was still in perfect working condition ( which has no value ?? ) ... it is slightly bigger in the screen and higher megapixels on the camera.

The S4 is an amazing phone. Very good apps, that are easy to use. The camera features are comparable to a high quality name brand cameras and video quality is outstanding. Overall I'm very happy with the phone.

This phone is truly a great phone. After searching I chose the Samsung Galaxy S4. It works fine all around. Sound is great, call quality is great, and operation is easy to use especially for those who are already familiar with Samsung devices like myself. Power down and start up are relatively quick and the device charges relatively quickly as well. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this phone as my brother had gotten 1 shortly before I got mine & he loved it. It took a little getting used to but am coming around pretty well with it, & I am not the smartest with all this new technical stuff. I wish it were a little smaller, the battery would stay charged a little longer. But for the most part I really like the phone. It takes good pictures, playing the games is very nice just the right size for that. I haven't used the music or recorded anything yet.

This is my 3rd android phone (Droid 1 & Rezound before this) & I have to say that this might just be the best phone I ever had. The screen is 5" but the phone is built so that it isn't a big phone & the battery life is phenomenal for it hardware in it. Still learning how to best use the camera, but takes great pictures

I picked this phone because I had a Droid before and I liked the large size of this one. I would of loved to have the Samsung Active but my carrier doesn't offer it yet and I wasn't willing to change to the more expensive AT&T carrier. Phone has a great picture, is easy to read and nice clarity. I am not in love with the new android emotions over the ones on my old Droid X but I might find better yet.

I did not expect that much of an improvement over the S3 but wow! Tis is an exceptional device. And very fast on VZW 4G. So many great features, many useful, will take time to figure them all out. Very impressed by HD video and photo quality. Really like the large screen with amazing clarity. I do wish the battery lasted a little longer, but that could be software related.

I am very happy with my new phone. It was easy to use the basic functions with minimal instruction. The quality of the pictures is great. I like being able to enlarge the font on the screen. I don't think I will ever run out of new functions to try on it!
