Conclusion
When inferring conclusions about Samsung
Galaxy S4, we realize an interesting common. While the professional senses
continue to be excited with the thought of many market-leading technical specs
contained in the same chassis, in fact we’re not too happy or excited. The
phone doesn’t feel new, especially compared to HTC One, but we can deny that
it’s an innovation over GS3. In positive sides, it has better battery life, the
same smooth performance and some of the loyal fans will love the inclusion of microSDXC
and removable battery. Considering the software, the new features of Samsung has
a taste of refreshment and cleverness, but most don’t actually solve any UX problem;
they seem not practical and (in some cases) not as convenient as the tried-and-trued
methods we’ve used before.
The
phone doesn’t feel new, especially compared to HTC One, but we can deny that

If you’re considering upgrading from an old
Samsung phone, of course GS4 is the one you’d like to have. The knowledge that
needs to be learnt will be little thanks to the consistent UI of TouchWiz and
besides, in general it’s a great smartphone – the phone itself is the best Samsung
devices we’ve used till now, and of course it will make One stand on fire. In
short, the 2 phones have different strength and weaknesses, so sadly none of
them will be suitable for all. But when we compare it with the eye-catching
design and feelings of One, we can’t stop thinking about a word to describe the
special and premium phone of Samsung: predictable.
