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
It is very quick
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)

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...
Brilliant display, great performance from the octa-core CPU, runs on the latest edition of Android, IR blaster functionality is handy, excellent snapper with plethora of camera plus video features, and good battery
Plastic build doesn't match the premium feel of rivals like the HTC One and iPhone 5, low-light photo quality is no match for rivals such as the Nokia Lumia 920, capacitive buttons cannot be seen in direct sunlight on the white S4, and not much else
Abstract: Recently, it came to light that Samsung and other mobile manufacturers were cheating current mobile benchmarks by upping processor performance each time these benchmarks were run on their devices. While this isn't something new in the tech industry, quite...

Abstract: The new Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A packs in Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 800 chipset which among others includes a 2.3Ghz Quad-core processor and Adreno 330 Graphics. There are two other earlier versions with the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 powered by Samsung's ...
Some handy features like “Air View” and bountiful “Camera” modes for great pictures every time, Maintains a good size that fits nicely in your hands, even with a 5″ screen, Cheaper than the HTC One (with very attractive telco plans / outright purchase)
Buggy phone with some features, functions and app not working the way its supposed to, Way too many features that tends to be buried and hard to find; also making it bloated and slows down the phone, Plastic!
I know a lot of you are considering between the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the HTC One as both are really impressive and high profile Android flagship smartphones. I get asked that a lot.Without sounding like a broken record and repeating myself on the points i...
