I got this phone because I didn't want to spend another $300 for the s5. They are so similar its hard to tell the difference. Good battery life, beautiful screen, and fast. They have updated these to android 4.4.2 so its the same op system as the S5.

I've had Sprint for almost 2 years. My first phone was a Motorola Photon 4G and it was awful! I tried to return it but they convinced me to keep it. I couldn't wait to upgrade. I use my phone for calling, texting, emailing, gaming, internet use, making notes to remember things (with or without reminders), as a password keeper, as a calendar, as an mp3 player, as a camera, as an alarm, as a flashlight, to check the weather and to get direction and traffic info. (That's all I can come up with for right now.) The Samsung so far has been much better than the Motorola Photon. The battery life is better, the email actually works, I don't have to download a ton of apps just to make it work the way I want to, the cell service has better, and it's faster. It doesn't take forever to open games or apps like my last phone or to switch from one thing to another. I like the picture gallery app it has and the camera is pretty cool. I ended up getting it for $50 so I really think it was worth it. The only issue I've had was that Samsung did some update and it reverted back to the way it was when it was new and all my customization was gone. But I figured it out and all was good. It has a lot of options for customizing as well, which I love. I'm still getting used to the keyboard as it's pretty different than what I'm accustomed to but it's fine. I liked my "user dictionary" on my old phone and this one doesn't seem to have one which is a minuscule negative. Oh and the phone being large is a negative and positive! It's great to look at and whatnot but not very pocket, purse or single handed use friendly since it's so large. (If you have larger hands it's probably fine.) I bought an Otter Box case and it's been in it since I bought it. The screens crack people so protect your phone. Overall, I like this phone immensely more than my last phone and I would totally recommend it.

Technology has finally caught up with my expectations with the Samsung Galaxy S4. This is the phone I thought I was going to get many years ago with the Instinct. Great size 5 inch diagonal screen. Not too big, not too small. I liked the Note II size even more for viewing movies, but realistically wouldn't be comfortable in my pocket. Getting the right protect case was important. I ended up with the Speck case (was $10 on clearance) - it added some depth to the phone like it is better protected (felt too skinny with the rocket fish case and that one didn't fit right either). Has great features - check them out online. It's fast. 4G LTE is fast and WAP is as well. 4G LTE is available where I live - check out Sprint site for availability (Sprint needs to add more areas quicker). Sprint has unlimited everything - main reason with them instead of Verizon or AT&T. Takes good pictures. Fast Internet. Fast Quad core processor. Bigger battery that previous models - finally lasts all day without running out of battery! Came with 16GB - which is what I had made my other one using SD card.
