Samsung Galaxy S 4
Amazon.com
The Samsung Galaxy S4 delivers an effortless user experience (view larger).
The Galaxy S4 does what you want and what you didn't know was even possible. Erase a photo's background distractions with just a touch, catch every part of your child's somersault, or capture your view of the city skyline. Preview photos and files or read a news article without ever touching the screen. Use one screen to check Facebook as you catch up on email.
Offering a highly crafted design with a larger screen and improved battery life, the sleek and innovative Galaxy S4 is slimmer yet stronger, with less to hold yet more to see.
The Galaxy S4 features a 5-inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED touch-enabled display, a 1.9 GHz quad-core processor, a 13-megapixel rear camera with Full HD 1080p video recording capabilities, 2-megapixel front camera, 16 GB of storage plus microSD memory expansion up to 64 GB (via optional card), 2 GB of RAM for excellent multitasking, a full complement of wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC), and enterprise-ready security features.
Catch Any Moment, Keep Every Memory
Equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, the Galaxy S4 also boasts a Dual Camera function that allows simultaneous use of both front and rear cameras. When capturing moments, you can choose from a variety of frame effects that blend the two pictures naturally and also adjust the size of the small picture inside the big one. You can also select from eight different ways to combine the two photos taken by the front camera and the rear camera.
The camera includes 12 shooting modes, including the Drama shot mode that enables you to see all the action in one continuous time-lapse and Sound & Shot for storing sound and voice together as the picture is taken. Additionally, the Dual Video Call function enables you to make and receive a video call with friends and family while showing what you are looking at during the call.
Your special moments can be automatically stored in a photo album with the Story Album function. Photos are automatically gathered and sorted out according to your timeline, geo-tagging information, or a specific event to create a photo album.
And your photos and videos are showcased on the world's first Full HD Super AMOLED display. Its 5-inch screen has a 441 ppi (pixels per inch) pixel density for stunning viewing quality and Corning's Gorilla Glass 3, making it stronger and more resistant to scratches and cracks than ever before.
Bring People Together
More than just a personal device, the Galaxy S4 makes the most of your relationships and enables you to easily share and experience many of life's pleasures together with family and friends, wherever you are. With the Group Play function, you can enjoy music, photos, documents, and games with those around you without even requiring a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. You'll be able to connect directly to other Galaxy S4 users instantly. For example, the Share Music option enables you to have the same song playing on multiple phones in sync to create the best party atmosphere.

Effortless Experience
The GALAXY S4 ensures that tasks are effortless with innovative features that detect your face, voice, and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation.
- Samsung Smart Pause enables you to control the screen by where you look. When you are watching a video, the video pauses when you look away and then it starts right up again when you are back.
- Samsung Smart Scroll allows you to scroll the browser or emails up and down without touching the screen. It recognizes your face looking at the screen and movement of your wrist, and then it scrolls the pages up or down accordingly.
- Air View enables you to hover with your fingers to preview the content of an email, image gallery, or video without having to open it. You can even see a magnified view on the internet browser, or a phone number saved in the speed dial on the keypad.
- Air Gesture allows you to change the music track, scroll up and down a Web page, or accept a call with a wave of your hand.
- With S Voice Drive, you can activate commands via voice control for optimization when driving. Once connected with a car's Bluetooth connection, the phone automatically turns into driving mode to convert text to speech so you can easily and safely check messages with no need to look at the screen.
- Samsung Optical Reader automatically recognizes text, a business card, or QR code information, providing useful functions such as translation, call, text message, and search.
Take it at Your Own Pace
Offering a number of features for first-time smartphone owners as well as those switching from another operating system, the Galaxy S4 has a streamlined start-up wizard so you can begin using the device faster and learn about its unique features from the start.
Originally introduced with the Galaxy S3, Easy Mode has been enhanced by simplifying the home screen layout, camera, calendar, messaging and the internet browser to make the settings menu easy to navigate. Once you're more comfortable with the Galaxy S4, you can switch back to the standard home screen interface.
The Smart Switch PC application enables you to transfer contacts, messages, photos, music, calendar notifications and more from another phone to the Galaxy S 4. Smart Switch can identify favorite applications and recommend the same or similar applications within Google Play.
A Smartphone That Makes TV Better
With its infrared sensor (the same technology as your remote control), the Galaxy S4's WatchON feature can change the TV channel from your phone. And you get a custom TV guide that shows you what you like to watch. With Samsung Hub, you can watch more music, movies, and games with one app and one sign-in.
Protect Your Information
Not only ideal for personal use, the Galaxy S4 is also a SAFE-designated device, which means it has additional security features to safe-guard sensitive data and communications. The Galaxy S4 is the first Samsung device to include Samsung's KNOX solution, which provides comprehensive mobile security at the hardware level and enhanced personal privacy for individuals at the software level. It delivers industry-leading mobile security for companies with stringent security requirements, and allows IT managers to access and manage the passcode-protected work information without disturbing the content within an individual's personal space (including photos, emails, music files and social network data).

LOLLIPOP, as with all the Android Firmware variants since inception, are a 3-way partnership between: GOOGLE, the Phone Manufacturer, and the Service Provider. In my case, these latter two are Samsung (obviously), and AT&T. The User Interface (UI) on Lollipop is as if you are dealing with an entirely new company on the other side of the planet. There is very little familiarity between Kit Kat (the predecessor) and Lollipop. I have always TURNED OFF a lot of the canned software in all my versions of Android, up through 4.4.4. They became trickier as the newer versions came out. Now, with Lollipop, you can't turn off any of the ones that are important to turn off, if you want to extend your battery life, and especially if you want some measure of SECURITY and PRIVACY. Both AT&T and Samsung, have loaded their two-cents worth of bloat-ware (unnecessary, self serving branded software); but Google has made it mandatory for you to have "Google Play Services" turned on, IF you want access to your contacts!
Google has made a big mistake with Lollipop, and believe it or not, it is already being replaced by "6.0" and a new name (that I forget). The User Interface is everything, and by changing it as drastically as they did, they have alienated many professional people who depend on the familiarity of their calendar settings, contact lists and editing them, and many other things that have now been changed. It is an UGLY, UGLY, monochrome style UI. It is WHITE background with Black (and pale blue accents) text. Photos are little circles now. But worse of all, is all the crap software they've added you don't need, and can't turn off. It is all designed to keep track of YOU, or get you to BUY something, or GIVE something to them -- like more and more of your personal information in order to fully use features of the phone that was once free without taxing you for your personal history and profiles. How you use your phone, who you call, what you surf on the Internet and all your contact information is being absorbed by these corporate monsters for the sole purpose of CONTROLING YOU, today and in the future. Lollipop makes it easier for them to do this.
You can ROOT your phone, and become an IT engineer if you want; but as rich as all these companies have become from consumer patronage, we shouldn't have to give up more and more time, learning new User Interfaces, and surrendering our privacy and habits because they shove software and phones down our throats that we can't control, can't turn off, can't customize for our preferred use. We used to have these perks. But now they are very expensive, or non-existent.
I previously used a Windows phone, Avoiding apple products at all cost. I liked the inter conectivity between the win phone and my computer. But when it died I had to look for a new phone. Samsung is the tops so I knew what i needed. The S4 hasnt let me down yet. Not a fan of the 'bloat ware'" preinstalled, Or the adds on my lock screen from many of the 'free' aps, My windows phone didnt have this. Beyond these and a few other small faults. I am in love, Finally get to use the real versions of some of my favorite apps and its strong enough to game. With the right the headphones the phone is spectacular.
I had to train the battery, At first it couldnt hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours of just being on standby. Letting it run dead and charging it to 100% a few times 'trained' the battery to the point it can last around 14 - 18 hours, Or roughly 9 - 10 hours of listening to music without pause.
One thing I am unpleased with and the only thing to this point, The AI on this phone sucks. With my windows phone, I could press a butten telling it to shuffle my music and it would, playing random song after random song without pause till i told it to. Yet when i tell my galaxy to shuffle music it proceeds to search the internet for the term, Shuffle music.
PROS:
-It sports a 5" screen which is great, and the screen is very vibrant in my opinion.
-Jelly Bean 4.3 has worked terrifically on this phone, and there really isn't any lag.
-Speakerphone works pretty well, and the speakers are loud.
-Attractive design with the metallic looking bezel and form factor makes it fit well in my hand.
-13MP rear camera takes very good pictures, and the HiDef recording is also a plus.
CONS:
-Battery drains very quickly on this phone. (External battery backup is highly recommended for this phone)
-Some games do lag with graphics.
-The phone does crash multiple times even after the latest update.
-Samsung's "Smart Scroll" feature doesn't work half the time, and a lot of those "cool" features only work at least for my device when I am in really bright sunlight.
All in all it is a good phone, but I don't in my opinion think it was worth going from as S3 to an S4. Too bad the S4 didn't have the same mAH battery that is found in the Note 2 which I have used in which the battery could go through the whole day without a charge. I would still recommend this phone to someone who wants an Android phone.
