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)

You are free to believe the hype. As smartphones go, the Galaxy S4 is among the best examples this year. It's fast, has an amazing screen and is feature-packed (though some may argue it is more gimmick-packed). The camera is top-notch -- though probably n...
Abstract: My 2-cents on the new Samsung GALAXY S4 – Michael Aulia has already published his Samsung GALAXY S4 review some time ago here at Craving Tech but here is my personal opinion about the phone. HardwareCompared to Samsung GALAXY S3, Samsung GALAXY S4 has sub...
Abstract: This video is about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Octa Core vs the Samsung Galaxy S4 Quad Core. There are two versions of this CPU and is mainly due to the Qualcomm Quad-Core Snapdragon 600 1.9 GHz having 4G while the Exynos 5 CPU has only 3G capabilities. The di...

The Galaxy S4 presents me with a quandary. On the one hand, the underlying hardware is excellent. It's fast, it's responsive, it has a great screen and a good camera. It should represent a home run for Samsung on that basis alone.On the other hand, the S4...

The screen – the beautiful, beautiful screen, Light and thin, but much sturdier than the Galaxy S III, LTE, Infra-red blaster, Camera, Battery life
TouchWiz, Weird button layout, Some performance issues
So, did I like the Galaxy S 4? Yes, a lot more than I first thought I would, and definitely more than I thought I would when I first started using it. Touchwiz is largely horrible, and I have certainly given it a beating in this review, but Samsung have d...
Excellent battery life, Impressive screen, Outstanding camera
Too many gimmicks, UI can be overwhelming, Slippery, plastic build
The Samsung Galaxy S4 looks almost identical to its predecessor but includes a better display, an improved camera and a huge amount of software features and functions, many of which are gimmicks. This is an excellent and overall outstanding smartphone, bu...

Samsung GALAXY S4 Samsung GALAXY S4 is definitely the best Samsung phone at the moment, thanks to the gorgeous display, snappy performance, best camera quality, and tons of features that you may or may not use. Thankfully, these individual features can b...
Very fast performer; Two days battery life possible from a 4G phone is excellent; Fast virtual keyboard; Works as a remote control;
Unique camera modes aren't easy to use; Finger-less touch modes need a lot of work; Still a very plastic phone; Can't change the bottom icon dock;
Even without the eight cores, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a force to be reckoned with, and anyone looking for a smartphone to take them through this year and into the next will be delighted to see just what it can do.Sensors and the camera work to track your...

That question really depends on how much you love Samsung.If you're a massive fan and love everything the gadget giant does, then the S4 is for you. You'll be happier in the Samsung ecosystem with your S-everything than you will adjusting to something els...
First looks are deceiving, it is not till one feels this device in the hand and you have switched on the display that one starts to get the impression that this device is a tad different. Then the speed kicks in suddenly you realise that you are the owner
The biggest issue I had with this device was the battery which chewed through power when I had several apps running. Properly managed this issue can be controlled and when you are travelling and don't have access to a desktop top up make sure that you are
