I picked this up as a refurbished phone to replace... an older Samsung model. It's so light it feels like one of those empty demo units you often see at the phone kiosks. It is quite a little powerhouse though and doesn't seem to get hung up on any popular apps including video or productivity. I don't play games on my phone so I don't have an opinion on that. Pro's: Light, stylish, pretty powerful, tons of accessories available for it, quick for everyday apps and productivity apps, bright screen with great resolution, great primary camera, LTE speeds if the network you're on supports the bands the version of phone you have has. Con's: - Battery life - I'm not a power user and the battery burns out really quick (5 am to 6 pm) with light to medium internet use for e-mail and research and texting and I'm at 25% by then. - Gets really hot near the camera when being used heavily. Heat is never good for electronics and that heat is coming from directly below the SIM and SD card slots. Back your data up just in case it burns the SIM/SD readers or your cards out. - Phone by itself is a fingerprint magnet and very slippery. Don't even think about using this phone without a case. It will slip/go flying out of your hand very easily. The surfaces are very smooth hard plastic and aluminum. Looks really nice but the aesthetics come at the price of utility. This is the second one of these I've purchased. The first one was for my daughter. It's been very reliable (3 months so far) and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Love... this phone, no complaints with seller. Phone works great when it works, however it has a major Mfg flaw that Samsung is well aware of. An error message will pop up saying 'no Sim card detected, please restart' It can happen 10 times a day, other days once, but it's quite annoying. Replacing Sim card doesn't fix it. It's a flaw within the phone. I found out by googling that there are hundreds of people with the S4 who have this problem. Phone is awesome when it works, and sucks when the Sim card error repeatedly pops up. Just a heads up for those considering buying the S4...do some research first.

Everything is great except the sound output (headphones, aux output). I cannot connect to an external device to play music. This was a huge disappointment, but the phone itself has a great sound so I'm living with it. Everything else is excellent!

Excellent phone, very responsive and nice screen. It's... very light for it's size and and thin as well. Battery seems to drain 50% throughout the day even with just light use.

I like the idea that I can make a purchase with th...is phone going down the road at 60 mph. I can play music over my truck stereo using bluetooth. I can even navigate just like the Rand McNally GPS. I keep in touch with my dispatch with this phone parred to my hearing aids check that out. bluetooth hearing aids with my phone parred to them. I can go hands free like all of those people that have the bluetooth devices in their ears HA HA! I like all those apps I am still learning how to use them. Yes I love the S-4 it has a longer battery life than the S2 Galaxy did
