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

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

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)

Huge display in a not so huge phone, excellent camera, removable battery, entertaining new features
Feature overload, only 9 gigs of internal storage on 16 gig model, still slippery
The Samsung Galaxy line of smartphones is a juggernaut; like the iPhone, the next generation will sell well based simply on brand loyalty, trust and familiarity. Even so, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a lot to offer, and though I wasn't overwhelmed with l...

Samsung is the reigning king of Android and although I don't think the Galaxy S 4 is the best smartphone available, it doesn't matter because it's got enough to keep their brand loyalty. It's faster, thinner, smaller, and has more features than any other...

there are other smartphone displays that will also blow you away (take the HTC One , for example). But I can't imagine anyone being remotely disappointed with the GS4's screen. Performance optimized The Galaxy S4 is as fast as you would possibly need...

Thin and light; sharplooking 1080p display; solid battery life; removable battery; SD card support; good camera; interesting software features; support for glovecovered touchscreen use
Whew! Like I said lots going on with this phone's software. A few final odds and ends to close things out:
The Galaxy S4 is a phone I would be happy to call my own. Is it the best Android smartphone this year? I think that's tough to call. It's also a personal choice. HTC deserves a lot of credit for the tremendous amount of work that went into overhauling ...
