I've been using this phone as my daily driver for almost 4 years now. Here are my pros and cons after using it for such a long time: 1. The screen is awesome (deep blacks, lots of details & the colour really pops which is great for watching movies). Although I'd have to admit that it's a little over saturated and the whites are a bit yellowish. But the screen is darn STRONG. I've been using it without any case till now and dropped it hundreds of times yet there's only minor cracks and scratches. 2. Lots of future-proof features such as NFC, air view & gesture, smart stay/pause/scroll. These features sometimes are really handy and you could really show it off to ur friends! Despite all that lots of people aren't even aware of these features = bloatwares. 3. The camera is very good especially for videos! The details are awesome and I don't know why but this phone produce more accurate colors when recording videos instead of taking photos. Also when recording videos we could really hear the clear and bassy stereo audio quality. What I love about the camera is its front shooter, it's very consistent and I think it's better than iPhone 5s's front cam. You could get crisp selfies and there's also a night mode.The main camera is also really high in terms of detail and faster + less shakier than S5's camera. Well, the downside in this department is its main camera color accuracy, white balance, auto focus and HDR. The colors are sometimes too washed out and people's faces tend to be darker despite of using the HDR. Also the auto focus isn't that fast and it couldn't focus on objects about 10cm away. 4. When we're talking about the S4's storage it only comes in with 16GB. But we could add a micro SD card which is really practical. I'm currently using a 32GB Samsung Class 10 micro sd card I could easily tell that it's damn fast. It's even faster for moving files compared to the internal storage! In terms of storage my only complaint is that it only comes in with 16GB of storage yet the bloatwares are taking half of it already fresh out of the box. 5. Now lets talk about the software. I could easily confirm that the kitkat version in the S4 is the most stable software yet. The problem with lollipop is that the battery would drain much faster because it's not taking advantage of the amoled screen (shutting down individual pixels if the screen is black) because the kitkat version is more themed towards black and the lollipop version looks bright & white. Although I'd have to admit that the lollipop looks more pleasing in the eyes with better animations, but what's the point of that when opening the notifications panel lags? The next problem with the software is its Wi-Fi. The connection strength and range really degrades through time which makes me really think of buying other phones. 6. Battery. Yes, smarthpone's no. 1 problem. Honestly the S4's battery is good compared to the iPhone 5s or 6/6s or even the S6. But when we compare it with the note 2-5 or even the iPhone 6+/6s+ it DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE. On moderate use like browsing, listening to music and messaging, this phone could go from 7am till 4pm and that's it. When gaming expect around 2.5 hours of battery. But the interesting part here is that although this phone does not support fast charging, when ur using a fast charger it could charge REALLY FAST but makes the phone hot. And yes this phone gets hot really easily. 7. Last but not least is the hardware. Let me just be straight forward: The S4 looks and feels cheap on our eyes and hands. The back plastic just scratch easily and the plastic chrome bezels just peels off too easily. Also the button aren't that tactile at all and the volume button could easily disfunction (it's happening ti my phone). To sum it up, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a really AWESOME phone that could be used even until today. But for today there are better options out there that is a lot snappier, looks better and with less problems.

I agree. This is a great solution that I have done as well. Plus, you get more features that are very useful, like extra screens and being able to scroll the bottom dock icons left and right and it pretty much makes the lag disappear! I also very much recommend that you go to settings, developer options, and under "window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale", change these to .5x. This speeds everything up nicely!

I've been using the S4 without a case or bumper since it arrived to Romania and the slim bezel around the screen is starting to change shape almost. Any small drop and it twists and bends like mad. That bezel, sadly, only comes with the screen so it's yet another thing I will have to cope with, in addition to poor call quality and occasional juddering. Still a solid choice that I will never regret though.

If the iphone had a larger display I may prefer its lack of the wiz hiccups. But..the screen is a too small..you should not have to move a phone closer or zoom for content...I have 20/20 so its not my eyes. I would replace it with a g2 though. I like their kitchen sink better. Would u?

The software features are just created for marketing. A lot of reviewers like to say the usefulness of the features may vary from one to another but the primary problem is that users have to keep remembering that the features are there. Even if they find certain features useful, they are very unlikely to use them naturally on a regular basis.

Great review Jaime. You brought out both the positive and the negative accurately.

This is the story of Samsung in all areas. They provide EVERYTHING from removable battery to expandable storage to a great camera to the most software options. They throw everything at you thats better to have than not. This is why they get my $.

It's like most other reviewers hated on this phone as soon as they took it out of the box. They complained about frivolous nonsense that hasn't bothered me in the least. Honestly though, for $600, I want to see some bells and whistles and as a nice quality phone with great features that I actually use, this phone delivers.
