Awesome
phone, incremental upgrade from SIII
By rpv
Galaxy S4 is
an incredible phone. I have been using this unlocked S4 for past 2 days helping
a friend to migrate from iPhone 4S. My friend has been on iPhone and it also
gave me a unique perspective. I used iPhone for couple of years and been using
Android for past 3+ years.
I have used
Galaxy S3, Note II and for me S4 is more like a S3s :) If you have a Galaxy S3,
it is perfect and there is no need to move to S4. The new features are more
like minor upgrades for me. Just like Detroit rolls out new cars every year,
phone manufacturers have found excellent way to make yearly upgrades.
Battery came
for almost a day. The video playback was crisp and my friend was amazed at the
customization options. It is heaven for a iphone user to come out of shackles
and explores the wonderful world of Android. It sure sounds like it is for
geeks, but Samsung has created lot of ways to simplify and make it less
intimidating. The EASY mode is for one such reason. Samsung's addition of all
those apps (commonly referred as crapware) is not as bad as HTC or LG. Android
experience is classified as pure vanilla in phones like Nexus. Vendors like
Samsung have added a whole lot of extra programs.
5" HD
Super AMOLED 1920 x 1080 display (441 ppi) is just plain gorgeous. 13 MP camera
takes ginormous image sizes. I put a 64 GB microSDXC card SanDisk 64GB Mobile
Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card with SD Adapter - Retail Packaging as my
friend wants to take lot of movies (built-in 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM). No
stuttering, and very smooth playback of videos captured in varying light
conditions (HD Playback; HD Recording). Compatible video types are AVI/DIVX,
WMV/ASF, FLV, MKV, MP4/3GP, WEBM. HDR and Panaromic photos were incredibly
sharp. Compatible audio types are: AAC, AMR, MP3, OGG, WMA/ASF, 3GA/M4A, FLAC,
WAV. Google Music, PlayerPro Music player are producing excellent music.
Audio/Video is one section where S4 has nudged S3. For a normal user, if you
are not into lot of video processing this does not matter.
S4's
infrared sensor is the same technology as TV remote control, so with WatchON
you can change the TV channel from your phone. My friend was shocked to see
this feature. Having used Android for a long time, I explored all new features
one by one. My friend is still getting used to and feels this is too
complicated. I broke down into lot of sub features and told my friend he may
not use 50% of features, but told him to explore one feature at a time and
focus on that.
Games were
very buttery, this phones runs ARM®-based octa-core mobile CPU. This is
apparently world's first! Inside this chip is Imagination Technologies' PowerVR
SGX544MP3 GPU. I tried several car racing games and performance was phenomenal.
People on the XDA-Developers forum report seeing smearing and ghosting when scrolling
on the phone. This especially occurs to people when scrolling among darker
colors, which begin showing up as purple. I tried hard to see if I could on the
S4 I was testing with my friend and I could not see it. I am sure these can be
upgraded with software over due course.
Air View and
Air Gestures - are they worth it? Air view is similar to how the S-pen on the
Galaxy Note 8 works. Simply hover finger a few millimeters above the screen and
in supported apps, you'll see a preview of content. This works with many of
Samsung's built-in apps, including the photo gallery, the dialer, Samsung's
browser and email client. It also works with Flipboard. Air View works by
cranking up the capacitive sensor on the screen. Another new feature is Air
Gestures. This uses the IR sensor on the top of the phone to detect movement by
your palm or finger. One can flip between open tabs in Samsung's browser app,
skip to a new song in the music player and do many other things. I say these
are still in works and sometimes not very efficient.
GPS was spot
on and I tried multiple GPS apps. It was bright outdoors (had to crank the
brightness all the way up). I tried multiple apps to demonstrate to my friend.
In the end, my friend was impressed with what all Android and in particular S4
had to offer. Smooth and Stunning display!

Great
device, beautiful screen **UPDATED**
By BarbZ
I've been
waiting for this phone for months, while also planning on switching carriers at
the same time. Here's what I like about the phone:
Beautiful
screen - for those of us who don't have perfect vision, this screen is very
readable. The fonts are an appropriate size, with good contrast.
Nice speed.
The screen is responsive, and allows multiple windows to be open at once.
Screen size:
For certain apps, I.e. the kindle app, this screen approximates an e-reader
very well (as opposed to reading on a smaller phone screen.)
The
interface is very thoughtfully designed. Great job, Samsung! Unobtrusive,
noninvasive methods of accessing critical apps are available from almost
anyplace on the phone.
Icons/graphics
are adorable, and creatively designed. No boring manila folders on this phone!
Your folders show contents from the outside of the folder... Cute.
Ease of use:
There is a little bit of a learning curve on this phone (I had the Samsung Epic
previously), but I've pretty much figured it out in a few hours. It's going to
be great. Once you get the hang of the graphics, it's really quick to move
things around, personalize, etc.
It really
blurs the boundary between a tablet and a phone, without becoming too huge,
like the Note (which I am now glad I did not buy).
Voice
quality: I'd read reviews in the last few days that state that it is not very
good... I think it's fine. The sound is clear, and volume is fine.
One of my
favorite apps for Android: Out of Milk. Running out of groceries? Scan the bar
code into one of your shopping lists, (or input by voice or typing), and your
shopping list is complete. I keep a running shopping list for Trader Joes, and
my other local market. When I go to the store, I simply move the items I need
to the top of the list, and go for it! No more paper lists!
One heads
up: (carrier, not phone related): check on Visual Voicemail.... I use it all
the time, and really like it. I was surprised to discover that I had to pay for
it as an add on with Verizon.... It was part of my Sprint service previously.
** UPDATE **
I've had the
phone for almost a week, and it's simply a PLEASURE to use! Lots of nice
touches: pop up asking if you'd like to add someone to your contacts after a
call from a non contact, for example.
Camera: is
great. I photographed an entire exhibit in a museum.... No flash, in dark
rooms, and the photos are stunning.
Battery
life: surprisingly good! I used the phone all day yesterday, on and off trains
where it would have been seeking service in tunnels (usually drains battery
quicker), used my Kindle app, made calls, sent texts and emails, and I still
had 60% at the end of a ten hour day.
Battery
recharging: using the charging cord that comes with the phone, it charges in no
time... A couple of hours at most. I've been amazed at the recharge speed,
compared to my previous phone.
Kindle app
is like a baby Kindle... there's just enough on the page to not feel like you
are only reading a few sentences at a time like on some smaller devices.
I'm so
pleased with my choice, I hope you enjoy it, also.
(And in case
this is helpful to anyone: if you are debating about a case, I have the Seidio
holster case... Please see my review.)
*************
Enjoy this
great device! Questions? Drop a note, and I'll get back to you.

Worldwide
distributors sucks!!!!!
By Hernando
The cell
phones is great, but DON'T BUY IT FROM THE THIS SELLER WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTORS!!!
I Bought
from them because I saw all the good rating, but they sold me with a faulty
camera, all the photos taken was out of focus all the time, it seem like a
hardware problem I they gave me a very very hard time trying to refund or
replace it, finally the gonna reimburse to me, but $160 less than the amount of
money I've paid
