Customer Ratings & Reviews

being an android guy, it was a huge upgrade when we got it and the functioning was easy and solid. only issue is the battery life. sitting all day without using, it drains in a about 4 hours. but at least the battery is replaceable.

This phone has been amazing. Pros: Big beautiful screen! Incredible apps, way more than previously lead to believe. Android system= amazing! Perfect pictures, great cam! My phone became giant jump drive since I don't have to use iTunes. Cons: Apple hijacked my texts for about a month. Really annoying and frankly it's a childish business practice.

The size is a good compromise, large enough to enjoy the hi-res screen but still compact. Camera quality is excellent. Construction is durable but I still purchased an Otter Box cover for further protection against potential mishaps. Connectivity with other devices (tablets, PC, Smart TV, car, etc) is very good. UI is fairly intuitive, with an "Easy" mode for the first-time user (larger icons and just the most-used apps). Use the power-saving mode or you'll be re-charging fairly often. Overall a very good smart phone, feature filled, and durable.

I miss my old qwerky keyboard, but like the speed and screen size of the is new phone. It still amazes me of the things that I can do with it, from faster email searching to faster internet search access. The learning curve is constant and it still needs more apps to compete with the fruitier phone. I like the screen size and everyday, another shortcut is found to make this worth keeping. I would like better zoom lens with the next model

Battery life is typical for smart phones. It takes great pictures, phone quality is clear. The picture on the phone is really good. I just have nothing bad to say about the phone.

Great battery life and speed. Display is very crisp and clear.

I must say that as an entertainment device, the Galaxy 4S is incredible. I upgraded from an IPhone 4 and also have an iPhone 5 for a work phone, so I can make several direct comparisons. First of all, the Galaxy screen is much larger and more vivid appearing than the iPhone indoors. The sound quality is good, but volume control can leave a bit to be desired. The controls and features on the Galaxy are all incredible, including voice recognition, talk to text, and similar features all work seamlessly. I find myself repeating less often on the Galaxy with Google than on the iPhone with Siri. My largest complaints with the Galaxy are all hardware related. I never drop the phone and yet the screen cracked completely across the middle after only two months of usage. Also, the power button seems inconveniently large and positioned on the outside of the phone, causing multiple erroneous shutdowns. And finally, while the Galaxy gives a wide range of screen brightness options, I find the iPhone to be easily read both indoors and out at the same setting. My Galaxy however, needs to be set to an extremely high brightness to be even somewhat visible outdoors, and with that same setting is nearly blinding inside.

I've had this phone for 6 weeks and absolutely love it. The camera is great and has a lot of really great editing options. The eye tracking feature is a little annoying but a pretty good idea, just not quite perfected. I have almost nothing bad to say about the phone. Great screen, great camera, 4-core processor, and lots of features.

Smart phones are still phones, but, seems manufacturers are forgetting that. If I wanted just "non-phone" things to do I would have bought a pad or notebook. That's biggest beef, it's just not a good phone. However, everything else is really topnotch. Picture quality, taking or looking at, is quite stunning. Very clear. Actions are quicker than I have had before, very good. Overall, this is an excellent product...I just wish they would step up to the plate and put some dollars into their R & D on the actual phone capabilities.

Easy to use at a good price. Customer service was very friendly and knowledgeable

The camera on this phone is incredible. It has better sound quality than my phone and it's got some pretty cool bells and whistles - no hands functions are pretty amazing. I got this as a graduation gift for my son and he snickers now when he holds my in his hand. Yes, the Galaxy S4 is a much larger phone and if holding a large phone does not bother you one bit, then it is definitely the phone to get.

As a novice Smartphone user, I picked a great one-Samsung Galaxy S4! Best Buy salespeople were very helpful, especially the Samsung specialist.(I've gone back to ask several questions.) I'm really enjoying the 5" screen and ease of calling and texting. The camera is the best I've owned! Getting a wireless router from Best Buy the following week helps with data usage. Expect to charge almost daily.

I went in to get a smart phone with the intention of buying an I-Phone, and left with the Samsung Galaxy S4. Since I have had an android phone in the past, this phone was very user friendly. I love the big screen& the quality of the pictures. I took some action shots with my grandkids running and they were great, not blurry. This is the first time I have boughten a phone and did not "hate" it within the first month. I use the calendar for the grandkids activities. I use the alarm and like the musical

Bought the phone when it was free with 2 new year activation. Can't get over all the features this phone has as compared to previous phone. The screen is gorgeous, the size is perfect. Access to web and apps is amazing. The camera has been getting a workout and really enjoy the resolution and picture quality.

I purchased this phone for my husband only after I had one myself. He was originally going to have my iPhone 4 as his first smart phone. After comparing the two, he also wanted the bigger screen... which meant that he'd have more room for his fingers to use the keyboard. He's very happy with the sharing features, how easy it is to customize himself. It ended up being a great surprise

It has all the features I have always wanted a cell phone to have plus more. I have enjoyed it thus far and hope to use it for a longtime to come.

I've never bought a phone when it first came out but made an exception for this one and glad I did. The camera is very cool. I've never been really impressed with cameras on phones but this one is good. Web browsing is very easy on the large clear screen and I like the eye scroll and hover features. A lot of my friends are like "that is sooo cool" and "what kind of phone do you have?".

This phone was an up grade from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. the S5 is too big for my tastes but the S4 is just right. What a device! Does all things well.

easy to use, great apps, takes great pictures, not too big

This is by far the best phone I have ever owned. For a smartphone, the battery life is the best of any I have owned. The phone has tons of features, so many in fact, I still don't believe I have seen them all. The eye tracking is the only thing that is so so as far as its operation goes. Otherwise, excellent choice if you are looking for a top notch, flagship smartphone.
