I bought this after lot of brain storming. Wanted to buy the HTC one or the Sony Xperia Z, simply because I thought Samsung mobile have a bad build quality. Checked the Xperia Z and was it disappointing, screen is good but not up to the mark, sharp edges and some small niggles. The HTC one was as good as the S4, but the things that let me choose the S4 were the horrible After sales service and the non removable battery and non expandable memory. So I ordered the S4 and got it in good time from Flipkart.nnNow how do I feel about the S4, n1. The UI is not as god as the Sense from HTC, but it is still easy to use. n2. The screen is just awesome, you really got to see it to know what I am saying.n3. Battery life is decent, gives about 10 hrs of usage.n4. Sound is good, the stock headphones are decent, but using a better set of ear plugs helps.n5. The phone has so many features that I had to read the manual for the first time in my life.n6. Build quality is not cheap, yes its plastic, but looks good and feels good.n7. The phones is so light you forget its in your pocket.n8. The camera is just brilliant, haven't done extensive testing, but the initial pics were just gorgeous. nnAll in all very happy with the S4. I previously had 2 HTC phones, so coming from the HTC to a Samsung I have to agree " I have moved to the Dark Side!!!"[for good].nnPS: All the negative reviews are from Samsung haters, and most are not even certified buyers, so just ignore them. Go to a store check the phone and then buy.
I bought an S4 in Aug and in Oct my Phone started bulging and switching off because the battery inside is swelling and pushing my screen out.... My Samsung S4 has this problem... and after raising a complaint with Samsung India on 30302828... They say that they are not aware of this issue... please search S4 Battery issues in Google and you would know the intensity of this... Buy some thing else... Iphone or nexus or some thing else.... at least they are more customer oriented than this CHEAP PATHETIC SAMSUNG.... nnThink about it: A 30% failure rate on a smartphone like Galaxy S4 is huge considering that Samsung has sold approximately 12 million since June. That's about 4 million failures and 4 million unhappy customers. It took 4 million angry customers to make Samsung react. That's not exactly a sign of leadership.nnThey have not reacted in INDIA YET.... nnI am 1 among this 4 million users.... LUCKY Meeeee
