Expectations were sky high when Samsung announced the Galaxy S4
Since the South Korean giant had to better its very own offering
The Galaxy S III
Which not only ruled the Android world
But also went on to become one of the best selling smartphones of
It is very quick
Gestures work well
5inch screen is super

Deceptively light
Plastic materials
Overwhelming amount of software features could be difficult to use for some users
Only 8.9 GB of user accessible memory
Big surprise to nobody
The software is not up to snuff. Let's ignore for a moment that all of the ""innovative"" banner ""features"" mentioned above are at best useless and at worst annoying. The rest of the UI ain't much better. For example

Comparison
The range of features could get confusing
Mixed success with some features such as Air Glance and Air callaccept
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
Air View have occasional hiccups
Meager onboard memory out of 16GB storage only 8GB is available
Lacks that premium feel
Too many features can confuse
Old design
No FM radio
Call drop
Same old design that doesn't feel premium
Camera is not good at taking low-light shots
Major portion of internal storage taken up by Samsung apps (read bloat-ware)
Most powerful Android device we've ever tested; Full HD resolution; Extremely bold screen; Good camera; Some helpful software features
Plastic build feels cheap; Design is almost identical to the older S3; Interface can be confusing; Battery life isn't great; 16GB model has limited space for apps
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most powerful phone we've ever tested and its bold, Full HD screen is the best in the business. Its plastic construction is a drawback and some of you might find it complicated to use, but there's no question that it's a se...

A brilliant phone in almost every way, subtly better design than SGS3, loads of new gesture and eye-tracking features, powerful
A bit complex now, incredibly expensive, not a huge leap from the SGS3, battery life is still bad
As we type this we have the SGS3 and the SGS4 on our desk. While, superficially, there's really not a lot of difference between the two, to hold, they couldn't feel more different. We really like the new, more square-feeling SGS4. At the back, we pr...

Slim and light, terrific screen, powerful processor, very good camera, loads of features
Possibly too many features, mono (not stereo) speaker, no HDMI port
You might ask just how many features you actually need on a smartphone, and in the case of the Galaxy S4 you get pretty much all of them. Yes, there are likely to be many more features than you'll ever need, and some of them, like Air View and Smart Scr...

Gutsy and powerful, Lush screen
Underwhelming design, New gestures a bit gimmicky
verdict The Galaxy S4 isn't just a phone, it's a device that wants to track and train you into becoming a Gadgeteer 2.0. Your eyes, your steps, your surroundings, your swipes: it seems that the S4 is always ready and patting at you to turn on features, st...

Abstract: The Korean giant is certainly throwing everything at it: the S4 is so packed full of new features that some have said it forms an incoherent mass rather than a unified product. There's a 13MP camera and a 5” screen packed into a smaller, lighter, thinn...
