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)
It's certainly the most powerful handset around, then, but with the Samsung Galaxy S4 coming in at a significantly higher price than the HTC One, it is tough to justify handing it top honours this time. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is still good enough for a re...

There is no doubt that the Galaxy S4 is one of the best Android handsets on the market today. While we may not like some of the inbuilt Samsung software, which at times feels more like bloatware than truly useful additions to the Android experience, the h...
Hardware specs; performs pretty well with quadcore processor; the 13megapixel camera
The camera in lowlight/night situations; TouchWiz is still horrible as ever; the design doesn't reflect the price
A great update to the Galaxy S3, but needs some improvementsSamsung has a lot of expectations to meet with the Galaxy S4. It has to keep the faithful satisfied and its rivals afraid. And by reading the spec sheet, it does make that impression. It's filled...
