Unimpressive design
Poor low light camera shots
No FM
Uninspiring design
Flimsy back cover
Noticeable lag in certain basic tasks
Cluttered UI
Uncomfortable for singlehanded use
Expensive
Feels cheaper than similarpriced phones
'Innovation' makes things too complex
Minor UI issues
Plasticky built does not exude HTC One like premium feel
TouchWiz a bit laggy at times
Features like Smart Scroll

Lacks that premium feel
Too many features can confuse
Old design
No FM radio

Same old design that doesn't feel premium

It's no longer Samsung's latest handset, but there's still an overall feel of quality here. The storage is measly and the mono speaker and lack of FM radio may be a downer for some, but despite these it's still a lot of phone for your money. It still feel...
Samsung is known for adding innovative functionality to its TouchWiz interface. They succeeded once again with the Galaxy S4, but you do need to keep in mind that all these great apps do take up storage space. Out of the 16 GB, you only have access to 8...

Great display, fast, some useful software additions
Poor build quality, Touchwiz is full of bloatware, battery could be better
The Galaxy S4 showcases the best and worst of Samsung, featuring a great display, speedy processor and number of useful productivity apps that are let down by poor build quality, battery life and a bloatware-infested Touchwiz user interface....
Stunning display, reams of innovations, lots of grunt and a great camera.
Some features are gimmicky, it's very big and a bit plasticky
Samsung's flagship looks similar to last year's S3 but is a solid upgrade in every way. There are innovations you may not like or need but there are enough standout features to make it well worth considering....
I had plenty of fun using the Galaxy S4 and, as a Samsung owner myself, I very quickly became accustomed to its UI and new features were easy to master. While I can clearly see the practical uses of new apps like S Translate and S Health, as well as some...

Most powerful Android device we've ever tested; Full HD resolution; Extremely bold screen; Good camera; Some helpful software features
