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

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)
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy S4 is easily the most anticipated Android smartphone till date and Samsung must have felt the pressure to bring out a handset that will continue the Galaxy S legacy. It is not going to be easy to be the king of smartphones with expectations...

The S4 is a very good phone, but there are very few compelling reasons to buy it over the HTC One. Lets list them.You Should Buy the S4 Over the HTC One IF. 1. Youre on Verizon. Unfortunately, Verizon is the only major carrier who wont be carrying th...
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,
The Galaxy S4 is priced at Rs.41500 which is slightly below the HTC One and also below the BlackBerry Z10 and Apple iPhone 5. The Galaxy S4 does provide tons of features, powerful internals along with an excellent display in a compact plasticky form fa...
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is without any doubt a phone which has power packed features and muscles to keep it running. The display is of top notch quality and the camera is amazing.Having said that, I was not impressed by sensor-based motion and air gestures ...
Finally to conclude the overall comparison, I would like to say that the photos taken with S4 and iPhone were good in terms on fine details but color reproduction seems better on Lumia 720 which is much cheaper than both iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 in ...

The S4 offers a gorgeous screen, superb camera, and great multimedia performance. On the other hand, it has a done-to-death design. The build quality leaves a lot to be desired. The UI is cluttered, and despite having an extremely powerful octa-core CPU,...
Too much of a good thing can be a problem, and Samsung's attempt to cram the S4 with so many features could have a negative side as well. It even defies the 80:20 rule, which we think, holds true for smartphones too.It's a bit like an all-you-can-eat buff...
It is very quick, Gestures work well, 5inch screen is super
Looks could have been better, Price is a little steep, Macro shots are not the best
All in all we feel the phone could have done better in the looks department, but the hardware makes up for it. The price also seems to be a bit on the higher side as well. You can also look at the HTC One for Rs 42,900 and Sony Xperia Z available for Rs 3...

Lacks that premium feel, Too many features can confuse
The fight is on. It is really on now. HTC played the first stroke, with that gorgeous HTC One. Samsung responded with the Galaxy S4. Fair amount of criticism has been showed S4's way for the plastic build. The aluminum unibody on the HTC One has taken the...
