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!
I tried following apps and they just worked awesome.

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.
