Michael, thank you for being honest in this review and not just saying how great and usefull all of those bloatware is but honestly telling your opinion on what really is usefull and not just a gimmick.
Comes with the app ChatON loaded, just like S3, and the app is available to any Android on Play. ChatON has video call, and it looks up your contacts numbers to tell you who among them have ChatON installed.
Question from pocket now. ... will we be able to use either both of the processor power at once if we root our phone or only the A15 chip rather then the A7 for even normal daily use
I am interested in buying a GS4 but now google has announced to introduce a stock android GS4. Shall I buy the phone now or wait for the stock android version? Is it worth waiting?
Does the SG3 have any features the SG4 hasnt? I want to upgrade from SG3 to SG4 but I hate when a predecessor has better features than a newer model . Thanks
Hey one question, do i have to make the first update that samsung offers? i keep pressing later cause i heard some people had problems afte rthe update? what should i do¿?
excellent video, Is there any discussion out there about an extended life battery for the SGS4 Active. The back cover is different so the cover is not compatible with the regular S4 extended battery products. then there is the water proofing of an oem extended battery and cover.
Does anyone know how he changed the colour of the text messages? I've been fooling around with my phone for the last half an hour trying to figure it out but have had no such luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have a question, does the Galaxy S4 have video calls? because it doesn't appear the option when I do a call to other phone number, I have to download bieber or Skype to do them or WTF do I have to do?
Your apology is accepted & understood. Many reviewers took one look at the lousy design of the phone, and started criticizing all the aspects of it. Please, for the sake of your viewers, study the phone thoroughly, then give us your take on it. I guess a high end phone with plethora of features would be difficult to cover in one video, but even just an after-thought, would be greatly appreciated.
All these "Gimmicky" feature comments that I read people complain about with Samsung and their flagship phones are ridiculous....I'm coming from an HTC Evo and Evo 3D. Samsung has dominated HTC for the past couple of years. I now own a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 now and these "features" have become essential with everyday use and gives me a unique experience like no other phone out there!!!
screen capture is not working properly. due to highly sensitive screen it moves when u swipe. i hope there's a third party application in the play store. any suggestion?
Call it what you want but these "gimmicks" make Samsung completely stand out. You have to admire Samsung because they're the #1 innovative smartphone company that we have today.....Samsung is the reason why every other smartphone manufacturer is pushing out phones with bigger screens nowadays. They're always looking for the next big thing that'll revolutionize the smartphone experience. Kudos!
lets say u save a contact to thee chip or wutever its referred to, and u would rather save it to your device, how can u delete thee one saved to that aforementioned "chip" and replace to the "device"?
Loved the video... and the humour interludes. But seriously, the phone does appear to bring in a lot of new technology to us all... obviously, a lot of things and features will evolve with future versions.
We "experienced the phone" for seven days before posting our review, just like many others. Sometimes mistakes happen. We admitted it. We're over it. Let's move on. ^MF
I have a Galaxy S4 and about two months ago an update came. Ever since I got my phone I had the pattern screen lock and I was happy. After the update I decided to change to password to see how that would be and when I wanted to ho back the option is off!!!! It says "disabled by Admissions, encryption policy or credential storage." I have no idea what its talking about! I just want my old pattern screen lock back. Please let me know if you know what's wrong! :/ I would even go as far as factory resetting the whole thing if its necessary! Please help
I don't have smart scroll but the s pen can do the same thing basically and my phone does have group play I just never really used it, I didn't know it could do all of that I just use NFC. Don't get me wrong I'm not downing the phone I have a galaxy my self, I love gs4 it looks like a monster!! But I'm just confused on why they didn't go over these functions when the note 2 came out because it really does have most of those features weather you like it or not!
This video is so full of sarcasm. I thought this would be some kind of paid advertisement that helped Pocketnows wallet, but it seems you guys remain unbiased! Awesome :)
Theres an APP in the Google play store that brings the air call accept feature from the s4 to the s3 and many other Android devices its called "air touch service " and its for free
Speed. Fastest android. Beats HTC one on most speed test. Camera is amazing. Its plastic so I won't get pissed if I scratch the back since I can replace it. Battery is strong and has expandable memory. Plus I have a galaxy s2 so I'm comfortable with Samsung.
We used group paly feature in college time to make dolby effect by paling same song same time on 6 phone placing them like speakers ..but samsung stop giving group play feature...
Its the stock lockscreen background when you use that wave feature. It only appears then; so even if you have a lockscreen wallpaper of two naked chicks, when you have the phone on a flat surface and use the wave feature, that screen will display
did you know you can also take snap shots of the screen by swiping the side of your hand left to right or right to left over the phone? don't use your palm, use side of hand... do it quite quickly too....
you don't need it believe me especially if you have an International s3 which is quadcore... no need to upgrade to 8 cores, the s3 still new and can run every single app without a problem :)
Just Got my S4 now ...i start playing and familiarizing the features but I find it also nice but still i love my old S2 that is not working because of water damage..i would happy if my S2 work:)

My note 2 has more than half of these motion/gestures functions already pre-installed so why are these being introduced as new functions?
Great job guys! Very helping me to choice this one

How do I get that light theme in my messages and dialer apps. Yours is white mine is dark blue

does the galaxy s4 have a notepad, reminder, and alarm
You see Pocket Now? Reading the manual never hurt :)

Thanks michael !! Amazing as always
We "experienced the phone" for seven days before posting our review, just like many others. Sometimes mistakes happen. We admitted it. We're over it. Let's move on. ^MF
In fact there is a thing you forgot. The Pokedex on the wall. It deserves a review ! :)

I have the Galaxy S4 & I love it!!! Its amazing!!! :")
Great video! Can't wait to pick my GS4 up soon:)
They are glasses (Gunnars) made to reduce eye strain and damage from long period uses of a computer/ screens.
There is an option to increase the screen sensitivity to allow for use with thicker gloves.
I have a Galaxy S4 and about two months ago an update came. Ever since I got my phone I had the pattern screen lock and I was happy. After the update I decided to change to password to see how that would be and when I wanted to ho back the option is off!!!!
It says "disabled by Admissions, encryption policy or credential storage."

Theres an APP in the Google play store that brings the air call accept feature from the s4 to the s3 and many other Android devices its called "air touch service " and its for free

Speed. Fastest android. Beats HTC one on most speed test. Camera is amazing. Its plastic so I won't get pissed if I scratch the back since I can replace it. Battery is strong and has expandable memory. Plus I have a galaxy s2 so I'm comfortable with Samsung.
