there is no heating issue in the s4,it only become warm after heavy use as every high end phone,u will still be able to hold the phone comfortably.

the gs4 was chosen to be the most advanced android phone in the market by consumer report,and it can't get this title if it has any hardware or software issues.


i ran all the advanced feature and sensors in the same time,and still the phone is fast with no lag or restart with excellent battery performance.

i have so many issues about this phone that i have to disable a lot of features and reduce brightness just to make it smooth and last longer.. This is ridiculous! It's true that this phobe overheat that i have to shut it down to keep this phone from overheating! I barely enjoy the features due to screen freezing, overheating and it is extremely laggy! Damn, i returned it to the store where i bought it and didn't asked for a replacement cause this is not supposed to be happening to a brand new phone! Silly..

I spent a quite amount and it isn't worth the price. I'm back to my iphone5 and good thing i had my money back!

Actually GS4 have Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 in one device. It made GS4 Octocore (2 Quad-core processor in one device).

And S4 running on Octa-core cpu is not a TRUE octa-core cpu, It is a LITTLE.big architecture in which only 4 cores are running at a time. for heavy duty uses like gaming ang video transcribing all A-15 cpus are crank up while if your on simple task like messaging, browsing A7 cpus are turn on. You see, S4 win both power saving and performance level.

But still even quad core 1.9 GHz still surpass other outstanding phones to date yet, but still octa core will be the most powerful among it no matter what. So, Cheers!

mentioning gs4 does not come with pre installed document editor is like saying the gs4 has no opera mini,angry birds or yahoo messenger pre installed.

Samsung Galaxy S4 have 2 versions GT-i9500 and GT-i9505. i9500 have 2 different CPU's in one phone. 4 Cortex A15 Cores clocked at 1.6GHZ and 4 Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1.2GHZ and i9500 have 3GPU's clocked at 533 or 500MHZ and it uses IT's PowerVR SGX 544 MP3 GPU which supports Microsofts Direct X 9.3! Where as your I9505 version uses 4 Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 CPU's Clocked at 1.9GHZ and Single core Qualcomm made GPU. So you better watch who you are talking to you dont know nothing about S4
