Purchased to replace my S4 which I shattered the LCD screen on. This phone has lasted forever! Only downside is the battery is failing and I wish it had more internal storage. Other than that, so easy to use. Not a bad phone to have of you don't want to spend a ton on a new model.

My "new other" phone was probably defective and probably was not what i would call "new other." It had someone else's gmail account in it and required a factory reset to get it cleared out. I sent it back primary due to reception and transmission issues and have purchased an LG G4 (Verizon). I would have probably gotten another S4, but a friend that I was with yesterday has one and said the only thing he didn't like about his was short battery life which I had experienced. The eBay vendor I purchased it from was very helpful in the return. Nobody seems to have the quality of screen that Samsung does. I have owned at least 2 other Samsungs. It was sharp. The camera was very good, much better than the Motorola Droid Maxx that I replaced due to failing call quality. I would have replaced my old phone with another Maxx if I could have found a new one. The reception on this phone was much poorer than the Maxx's that others also use in my house. I liked the home screen button that can be held briefly to clear everything you have been running. The power button was very sensitive and too easy for me to lightly touch and put the screen to sleep. The default Google configuration was too invasive on what I consider "privacy issues" but that was Samsung and Google's issue and could be remedied with just a few basic setup changes.Read full review

Battery was not good upon arrival, had to purchase a charger and new battery. This phone is no longer compatible with the network, the only way you will be able to activate a S4 these days is if your SIM card is already active on your account. Verizon will no longer recognize any Galaxy S4's or prior in their system. Verizon has done away with the CDMA side of their network. Phone constantly freezes, GPS loses signal, apps randomly close. Will be a ok phone for just making phone calls or making a few texts. The phone did arrive in mint condition well taken care of was the only thing I was impressed with.

This is my second S4 because I like the phone so much. All the newer ones don't have removable batteries, so if your battery starts to fail, that's it for the phone. I couldn't decide whether to say "yes" or "no" on long battery life, because that obviously depends on several factors. Happily, you can easily buy a new battery for this phone! It has a really good camera, and every other function I want in a smartphone.

I love the Galaxy S4s they are one of the most durable phones I have ever met along with the OS being incredibly friendly.We are a computer and smartphone repair store we see 90 percent more repairs coming in for Apple i phones compared to Samsung's. The only thing i do not like is it can not be as personalized as i phones such as modifying the different colored screens and housings like you can do with an Apple.They are also easy to repair the LCD's are a little pricey but always fix the problem for the most part along with the charging ports being easy to fix because they have their own charging port board and are not soldered directly to the board.....................................................................................

It's a good smartphone for 1st time owners and others. The one thing I will say about this phone is if your an advanced user demanding root access to branded Samsung Galaxy S4 phones, the only way to surely get over the locked bootloader is by means of "Safestrap". It's a great backup phone too. (for emergencies) Pretty much accepts SIM card from any carrier/service. Hope this information helps. Best of luck to you. (warm smilz)

New enough to perform well all around but old enough to find a bargain. Sure it's more laggy than a newer model but most of the time that's barely noticeable. Camera too will be better on a newer model but it still does a great job and a world better than cheaper phones no matter how new. Very happy I chose this phone. Battery life is my only complaint but that's what you get when you buy a great phone for $50 used.

Realize that this a an older version that has been superseded by the S5, S6, and S7. But hey its also less than half the price of a used S6, and S7's and not a lot of difference with the S5 . I personally like the size , fits better in my pocket than the larger newer ones. Phone is fast and has all the features you would ever need. Including one Important feature missing in the S6 and S7. MHL HDMI output. You can plug this phone into your TV or monitor and with a Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse set back and use it as a computer on the big screen. Cant do that with the S6 and S7. Mines on Verizon and had been factory updated to Android 5.0.1 Run great

I love this phone. I bought one on ebay and got a great deal. I smashed the screen on my original phone and considered getting it fixed by having the screen replaced using Samsung, but I was able to find one on ebay at a great price. It turned out to be a great phone and does pretty much everything I need it to do. I have a much better case now and would suggest to anyone buying this phone to keep it in a protective case to keep it from being damaged. I had my phone in my pocket and inadvertently placed some keys in the same pocket. I sat down and that was the end of that intact screen. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant not scratch and damage proof.
Bought this used, to have as a spare and for my granddkids to use with games and it's like new condition and so far works well. In the rating questions it says "Does this have a small form factor?" and I don't know what that means.. even after I googled i it. It is a small phone, but has a large screen, for it's size. I don't know if this review is for the S4 overall, or the specific one I bought, used on ebay. But, I have had several of them (ended up giving them to someone who needed a phone) and like them, and because they are getting older the price, used, is fairly affordable.
