Uninspiring design

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition offers users the most powerful hardware specs of any Android phone without any carrier bloatware, and with an elegantly simple Jelly Bean UI
Google's Galaxy S4 variant strips away a lot of Samsung's neat software and photo features, and it comes with a steep price tag
Unless you're an Android enthusiast or demand total freedom from carriers, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition isn't worth the hefty price.
