    Took pics at my friend's graduation. My pics were clear and more vibrant than the other people in my group.

    This phone replaced a different brand large smart phone. Had wanted something smaller (old phone with case barely fit in packets) with all the smart phone features. Decided to try a Samsung phone and the best value at the time was the S4, which was a few mm larger overall, but also thinner. Call quality is good and the data speed is good compared to the previous phone. Some of the features are a bonus. Using a hovering hand to check for mail and messages is great. The screen has a crisp image. The camera is better than some point and shoot cameras. The buttons seem to be placed well. Overall it seems to be a great phone. The only negative is the battery could last longer, but with care it can last most of a day. As for the size...it actually fits pockets better than my older smart phone, even with a chunky case.

    I had the Galaxy S2 and upgraded to the S4. This phone is quite a bit bigger than the iPhone, but I like it so much better. You can keep your iPhones - this one is definitely a keeper! Picture quality is great and sound is also. I get my emails on the phone and they are easily read.

    I enjoy this phone. Easy to use. I like the screen because it is bigger as well as the keyboard. The convenience of transferring pictures and videos to another phone is great. My grandson likes using some on the apps for games. I also like the voice command in this phone.

    This S4 works just like a mini tablet would work. It's a lot better than the S2; it doesn't power off randomly neither reboots on its own. I like it and will most likely continue buying these galaxy phones.

    Love this phone! Takes great pictures and has fast shutter speed. Easy to use and navigate. If you buy this from Best Buy get their protection plan, it is way better than the cell carriers' and no deductible!

    Overall, I'm very happy with the phone. I was worried the purple would be too eccentric, but it's a great color. The only problem I have is that the phone occasionally puts the screen back to sleep when I'm clearing my notifications. It's annoying, but if that's the biggest problem, I can deal with it.

    I purchased this phone for my mother. She loves the size (especially the large screen). She also uses it to take photographs and to access the internet. She switched from a Blackberry (this was hard to get her to do) and actually loves this phone.

    This phone is great. Especially since it has Jelly bean 4.3 update available and Kit Kat 4.4 coming soon. I love the screen size and the fact that is 1080p makes my HD videos awesome. I love all the functions, apps, widgets. The usual Samsung touchwiz is one the things I like about Samsung. I love their software. This phone is like a companion, I keep in touch with everything. I like the way it looks and feels on my hand. This is definitely a great phone overall. The only bad thing would be that I should have chose the Blue color instead because it more noticeable. The black color is okay but not glamorous like the blue one. But a cover can easily fix that problem.

    Love this phone, the camera is amazing and I just love how slim it is. The only problem is you do need a case. It is soo slim that it is kind of slippery. I have dropped a few times but with the case on it, there hasn't been an issue.

    I really like the galaxy s4 .... the camera is awesome and easy to use. ..my husband had the galaxy s5 and it's not much different than the s4... it looks like the same phone....so I'll save the money and wait for the galaxy s6.

    Huge jump from flip phone, I like the bigger screen for which it makes it easier to watch videos and tv. Swip feature makes it easier to use the keypad which is huge. As I learn new things I'm really liking the phone more and more.

    I was hesitant to upgrade my phone to a Samsung because of all the reviews on the iPhone 6 were raging heavily. But after carefully comparing both. ..Samsung was my better choice. Less money but the features are just as great!

    Got this phone after trying the HTC 1 for a week. Everything was instantly better. Capabilities are better, screen is bigger, battery lasts longer. Not even close as far as comparison with HTC 1 or iPhone 5c or 5 (never tried 5s).
