The editors didn't like

  • Plastic backing may feel cheap to some
  • Not a huge upgrade from the GS3
  • Big surprise to nobody
  • The software is not up to snuff. Let's ignore for a moment that all of the "innovative" banner "features" mentioned above are at best useless and at worst annoying. The rest of the UI ain't much better. For example
  • There's a "feat
  • Whew! Like I said lots going on with this phone's software. A few final odds and ends to close things out
  • Polycarbonate body creates a slippery grip
  • Hardware design and materials aren't the nicest out there
  • Some new features like Smart Pause / Smart Scroll and Air Gesture / Air View can be frustrating to use
  • The touchscreen wasn't responsive to gloves for
  • Unpleasant
  • Cheap design
  • Sheer number of features can be overwhelming
  • Performance can suffer in odd places
  • Rubberised sides would improve feel and grip
  • Some of the extra camera settings are too novel
  • Battery could have been bigger for the 1080p screen (but to be fair
  • Samsung's software seems to be more energy efficient)
  • Performance comes in second place
  • Extra app store and S Voice feel like an attemp
  • Lots of extra software that you may or may not use
  • Very expensive without a contract
  • Plastic cover
  • Confusing features
  • Lack of standout features that are truly practical
  • Looks Nearly Identical To The S III
  • Relatively Pricey
  • Google's Galaxy S4 variant strips away a lot of Samsung's neat software and photo features
  • And it comes with a steep price tag
  • TouchWiz feels dated
  • Plastic aesthetics
  • Certain features just don't work
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Screen hard to read in direct sunlight
  • Plastic design
  • Below-average battery life

  • Dysfunctional features
  • Glossy plastic construction
  • Heavy interface
  • Occasional UI stutter
  • Mediocre low-light camera
  • Too big
  • Difficult to use with one hand
  • Much of the proprietary software is forgettable
  • Noninnovative design and familiar performance
  • Poor battery life while numerous sensors are activated
  • Poorly realized Air Gestures function
  • Does not offer a different feeling than Galaxy S III when being used
  • Subpar camera quality – did not perform well in low lighting
  • Its screen is dimmer than competitors'
  • Its plastic design gives it a cheaper look than its rivals
  • And we found the Galaxy S4's power button turned on at undesirable times. Not all camera modes work as promised
  • And a long list of software features can q
  • Feature overload
  • Only 9 gigs of internal storage on 16 gig model
  • Still slippery
  • Limited storage on 16GB model. Low-light camera performance could be better
  • Poor battery life
  • Touchwiz is full of bloatware
  • Samsung's software is big bag of “why?” Construction is cheap
  • And there's nothing exotic or inspiring about the hardware design. Camera software is kludgy
  • And lowlight shots get noisy quickly. Pricing varies widely (see above) but leans toward expensive
  • TouchWiz has cartoony design
  • Some features only work with proprietary apps
  • The build and materials feel cheap
  • Low-light camera performance is poor
  • Call quality could be better
  • Intermittent lag and hesitation
  • Lots of Samsung and AT&T bloatware
  • Uninspiring aesthetics
  • Dated UI which stutters and hesitates occasionally
  • Many Samsung features are more gimmick than useful addition
  • Conclusion
  • As with the other versions of this phone
  • The Galaxy S 4 for Verizon is an amazing piece of hardware. It'

  • Multitude of ways to control the phone can be overwhelming
  • Many features only work in specific apps
  • Pre-installed bloatware
  • Speakers could sound better
  • Several new features are impractical and half-baked
  • Boring overall design without premium look or feel
  • Plastic design is not for everyone
  • Particularly on a flagship phone. HTC One delivers tough competition.

  • Abstract:  갤럭시S4로 보는 AMOLED의 진화. 이번에는 과연 어떤 변화가 있을까?조금 민감한 이야기를 해야 할 듯 합니다. 바로 갤럭시 시리즈의 디스플레이에 대한 이야기 입니다. 조금 더 자세히 이야기 하면 가장 최근 출시된 갤럭시노트2와 갤럭시S4로 말하는 AMOLED에 대한 이야기 입니다.[OLED는 R(레드), G(그린), B(블루) 유기물 소자 하나하나가 스스로 빛을 내는 디스플레입니다. 별도 광원(백라이트)이 필요한 LCD와 비교해서 1,000배 이상...

  • Abstract:  갤럭시S4에는 카메라 관련 신기능들이 많이 생겼습니다. 갤럭시 카메라를 만들면서 디지털이미징 사업부와 협력을 했더니 노하우가 생긴걸까요? 그 신기능들 중 가장 두번째 기능은 사운드샷 기능입니다.사운드샷 기능은 사진을 촬영하면서 동시에 녹음을 해서 다음에 사진을 감상할때 사진을 찍었던 당시의 상황에 들려오던 소리까지 들을수 있는 기능입니다.갤럭시S3나 갤럭시노트2 등을 사용하고 계신 사용자분들은 사운드샷 같이 하드웨어에 제약을 받지 않는 신기능들이 자기들...

  • Abstract:  갤럭시S4 공개를 보고 해외 언론사들은 "앞으로 수년간은 하드웨어 경쟁이 무의미해질것이다. 갤럭시S4에서부터 이미 더 이상의 발전은 무의미할 정도로 하드웨어를 발전시켜, 이제 스마트폰으로써의 스펙을 완성하였기 때문이다"라고 분석했습니다. 해상도를 올려봤자 사람의 눈으로는 구분을 하지 못 할 수준에 달했으며 더 이상 빠른 프로세서나 용량이 큰 램을 사용해봤자 그것을 사용할 어플리케이션이 개발되지 않았으니 앞선 분석이 논리적이라 할 수 있죠. 라이프 컴패니...
