More for Indians..
1. This phone is the fastest till now. you can play games and do other works side-by-side; talking about heavy installation games likes NFS Most wanted types.
2. Display is awesome better than iphone5
3. Plastic cover saves shocks/hits when your phone is dropped so don't worry on that. Anyways you will buy plastic covers/backs for aluminium phones :-)
4. Lot of people say its slow/lags - not true at all.
5. Camera is awesome - the only thing you need to know is to understand the modes there.
6. Gestures/smart eye/smart pause etc awesome features to flaunt - but remember they wont work in dark/very low light and obviously u wont flaunt in dark :-)
7. Yes overheating is a problem but only while charging/playing heavy games for long/calling.. otherwise temp remains bet 35 - 39 C. I hope that can be fixed soon. And you know heavy engines have their own drawbacks :-)
My advice - Go ahead and buy this phone. It has put iphone/htc/sony behind while taking about real smart phone.
Ultimately its your phone and your choice..

I got GS4 (GT-I9500) in Afghanistan, I am satisfied with its speed, battery life, display, nice features and camera but I have to mention that its sound quality is low.

Good points are that its display is awesome dual capture n recording a unique feature n slow motion n fast recording too worth flaunting..I like the design very handy than sharp cuts heavy look of xperia z r htc one design is more abt comfort than in looks plus chrome finish keeps it different from s3..headsets r awesome loud comfartable to ears..gorilla glass 3 dont even screen guard to protect...though with new android update I doubt the performance remains the same

Lots of Chinese phone companies coming up with mega screen multi core devices at half the price point of the S4. And some of the more reputed China brands like ZTE / Huawei have good build quality at that price point. Considering what Samsung is charging for the S4 (In the same league as iPhone or HTC One) I was expecting Samsung design to do much better with the materials. Shame! For 2013 I think The Blackberry Z10 and the HTC One stand out. S4 disappoints. Just feels cheap.

Hey GSM Arena!
Glad to see Octa scores, but these should be a photo comparison too, something yet to be done by any site testing both devices. There are differences expected.

Hello just got s4 here are the review. Its camera is similar to samsung 8 mega pixels. Try to zoom it n see. Its video is worst than s3. Its battery life however is very disappointing far below expectation. However,it display is top.

anyways I already got d sg4 i9500 model here in oman but when I came to see the demo units in the Samsung shops one in Sabco and in qurum city center that the model is i9505 which is the LTE version/snapdragon ... but why they sell the model exynos octa i9500 model instead...is samsung truthful about their products or would just want to earn money? just a thought

What phone can I purchase will work with LTE (or any other form of fast mobile internet) both in the uk and US? If not available now, are there any phones coming out soon with this capability? I plan on undertaking an exchange program in the US and I want to purchase the phone outright so I can then get a monthly contract.
