Great display, fast, some useful software additions
Poor build quality, Touchwiz is full of bloatware, battery could be better
The Galaxy S4 showcases the best and worst of Samsung, featuring a great display, speedy processor and number of useful productivity apps that are let down by poor build quality, battery life and a bloatware-infested Touchwiz user interface....
Stunning display, reams of innovations, lots of grunt and a great camera.
Some features are gimmicky, it's very big and a bit plasticky
Samsung's flagship looks similar to last year's S3 but is a solid upgrade in every way. There are innovations you may not like or need but there are enough standout features to make it well worth considering....
I had plenty of fun using the Galaxy S4 and, as a Samsung owner myself, I very quickly became accustomed to its UI and new features were easy to master. While I can clearly see the practical uses of new apps like S Translate and S Health, as well as some...
Abstract: Can the Galaxy S4 survive a double scratch test involving keys?So earlier today we were at the Galaxy S4 launch at Samsung's store in Westfield, Stratford City near the London 2012 Olympic site. The Galaxy S4 features Gorilla Glass 3 protection which shou...
A blinding number of features, Incredibly fast, Ships with Android 4.2.2, Relatively small for its display size
Plastic body, Low light photo performance isn't so hot
The simple truth is that the Galaxy S4 and high-end rivals the HTC One and iPhone 5 are all excellent, highly recommended phones. The One and iPhone 5 have stronger design points of view with focused, flagship features. The HTC One is about Blinkfeed, Wa...
Most powerful Android device we've ever tested; Full HD resolution; Extremely bold screen; Good camera; Some helpful software features
Plastic build feels cheap; Design is almost identical to the older S3; Interface can be confusing; Battery life isn't great; 16GB model has limited space for apps
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most powerful phone we've ever tested and its bold, Full HD screen is the best in the business. Its plastic construction is a drawback and some of you might find it complicated to use, but there's no question that it's a se...

A brilliant phone in almost every way, subtly better design than SGS3, loads of new gesture and eye-tracking features, powerful
A bit complex now, incredibly expensive, not a huge leap from the SGS3, battery life is still bad
As we type this we have the SGS3 and the SGS4 on our desk. While, superficially, there's really not a lot of difference between the two, to hold, they couldn't feel more different. We really like the new, more square-feeling SGS4. At the back, we pr...

Slim and light, terrific screen, powerful processor, very good camera, loads of features
Possibly too many features, mono (not stereo) speaker, no HDMI port
You might ask just how many features you actually need on a smartphone, and in the case of the Galaxy S4 you get pretty much all of them. Yes, there are likely to be many more features than you'll ever need, and some of them, like Air View and Smart Scr...

Gutsy and powerful, Lush screen
Underwhelming design, New gestures a bit gimmicky
verdict The Galaxy S4 isn't just a phone, it's a device that wants to track and train you into becoming a Gadgeteer 2.0. Your eyes, your steps, your surroundings, your swipes: it seems that the S4 is always ready and patting at you to turn on features, st...

Abstract: The Korean giant is certainly throwing everything at it: the S4 is so packed full of new features that some have said it forms an incoherent mass rather than a unified product. There's a 13MP camera and a 5” screen packed into a smaller, lighter, thinn...
