I've been using the S4 i9500 since the day it was launched inIndia I.e. 27th April and I absolutely love this phone.
Here's my take on it:
1. Display: Simply fantastic and super sharp.
2. Speed: Handles everything you throw at it with ease.
3. Overheating issues: It is normal for a smartphone to heat up considerably when charging or using heavy duty apps. There is no need to worry about it.
I've used the Galaxy Nexus & the Nexus S prior to this and both phones used to heat up as much as the S4 does! Remember, this phone has 4 powerful processors so it's natural for them to generate heat! Have you ever noticed how hot a laptop can get with extended usage?
4. Bloatware: This was a major concern initially considering you only had 8gb of available storage, however, with the latest software update it is now possible to move almost all apps to external sd storage freeing up precious internal storage space.
To sum it up I would say that the S4 is one of the best Android phones, if not the best available today and you can go for it without much thought!

hi everyone I need ur help alot!!!! does s4 has lots of bugs and lags??? im really worried about it!!! and then answer me,,,HTC ONE OR GALAXY S4?
why does it heat up so much ?
Who say Samsung has no design philosophy..?
Ans- galaxy s2 best designed phone
But it is copied from apple iPhone
If Samsung got new design language that their r&d department devloped there is some court notice coming from Nokia,apple ,HTC ,Sony because one company in worldwide know better how to implement other idea with its own s logo
it's super fragile... anybody who is considering buying this should really weigh a 100 times... except only if money is not an issue on the part of the buyer....
mine got a broken lcd when it fell for about 2 feet from the ground... there were no signs of impact in the external case...

ok so ive got the phone a while now ryt...
& last night was the 1st time i experienced this...
was charging the phone while it was doing its updates...
it was placed next to the heater but still cant be that...
it got so heated up that i could'nt use the damn phone properly!

Anonymous, 17 May 2013I have been using s4 for like a month major drawbacks are first overheating which all are talk... moreAll phones with Krait CPUs overheat. They are not water-cooled. Only that some use glass backs while others use plastic covers. That is all.
Samsung has got it wrong in the trade offs and is focusing too much on specifications. Phone A is 8.8 mm thick while its competitor is 8.9 mm and so phone A is better. To achieve the 0.1 mm difference Samsung had to use the flimsy plastics....WTF! Customers like me dont care a heck about that 0.1 mm difference (which anyways cannot be measured unless you are carrying a vernier around) as long as 8.8 mm doesnt become 13.8 mm which is stupid. If Samsung can use better materials at the cost of a few microns more in terms of the dimensions, it would be appreciated. Are you Samsung designers listening? Cut out the crappy materials and give us something that looks beautiful but rugged like a Swiss watch.
Do S4 support video calling over d network?????M not talking about the video chat thru skype or other application.
Overheating is the biggest issue! 5 mins of call temp goes as high 51 , hope this will fix in short time
