Great phone, near perfect
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.Read full review...

Great phone for the money, with exception of Mfg defect/Sim card error
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.Read full review...

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!Read full review...

Galaxy S4 great phone
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.

beginner smart phone user
I like the idea that I can make a purchase with this 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 didRead full review...

Cannot turn off
I don't use the phone much except for talk and text. For that it works very well. It is a nice size and easy to carry in pocket. Battery life probably average as I charge it every other day even though not used a lot. The problem I have is that I cannot turn it off. The screen turns off, but not the phone. It will reboot itself as soon as I turn it off. I have tried several suggestions found online, but no answer. Called T-Mobile and Samsung support. Took it to a Samsung rep at Best Buy and she thought it was a hardware problem. Would be a nice phone without that problem.Read full review...

Great value
I bought this phone for a friend who had a super cheap phone. I was tired of watching her struggle trying to use that piece of junk. She is so happy with the phone and I am pleased that she now has an easy to use Smartphone.Read full review...

Great phone
Great little phone still today in 2017. For only $80 it's a steal. And you can still get new batteries for cheap. There is also a huge mod community for these things so you can get newer or custom Android operating systems. Would recommend if anyone wants a good phone on a budget.Read full review...

Outstanding value.
Although outdated by the S6 & S7, it is still an excellent phone at a price that can't be beat. It has a performance profile that nearly matches the iPhone 6a except for the feeling of quality build. Wireless charging can be added to the S4 and the replaceable batteries make keeping a fully charged phone quite easy.Read full review...

Phone works, but I don't believe it was a store demo
This phone is functional and works as I had hoped. But it is listed as a store demo and I have a hard time believing that. Under the battery cover there was black shirt and grease as if it belonged to a car mechanic. So far so good though.Read full review...
