The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a tech fiend’s dream phone. While it may lack the metal body and design panache of the HTC One

And feels like it can take a tumble or two - thoug

Design - Samsung Galaxy S4
Upon picking up the Galaxy S4 I had a sense of nostalgia
I felt as though I had held this device before. This was down to the fact that
You’d be hard pressed to call the Samsung Galaxy S4 original. It looks identical to a Samsung Galaxy S3 - in fact
The only noticeable differences are the chrome trim around the sizes and ever so slightly larger display. That also means it inherits its foibles
Including a cheap and flimsy plastic back panel

Poor build quality
Touchwiz is full of bloatware
Battery could be better
Poor sound quality
Picture is on the warm side
Rivals have greater detail and contrast levels
Intermittent lag when multitasking
Gesture and eye-tracking features won't suit everyone
Plasticky build quality
TouchWiz can be laggy
Almost too many features and some like Smart Scroll don't work all that well
No way near enough onboard memory (16GB gets you just over 8GB)
Almost too many features and some like Smart Scroll don't work all that well
Feels cheaper than similar
Priced phones
'Innovation' makes things too complex
Slight UI issues
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
Too many gimmicks
Too big for some
Design lacks class
There are so many options they can be overwhelming

Some handy features like “Air View” and bountiful “Camera” modes for great pictures every time, Maintains a good size that fits nicely in your hands, even with a 5″ screen, Cheaper than the HTC One (with very attractive telco plans / outright purchase)
Buggy phone with some features, functions and app not working the way its supposed to, Way too many features that tends to be buried and hard to find; also making it bloated and slows down the phone, Plastic!
