Samsung Galaxy S4 is a top quality Android phone launched some years ago, in 2013, which counts with a quite big 5-inches capacitive touch-screen, a great 1.9 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, and 2 cameras, a 13 MP back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's just the introduction of this in-depth review.

This cellphone is powered by an extremely fast Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.9 gigahertz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T system chip and a big 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic rendering often uses lots of processing power, so the S4 uses an additional Adreno 320 graphic processing unit running at 400 MHz to unload the CPU. The S4 comes with a huge 64 GB internal memory and an SD extension slot, which allows the user to install tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without even thinking about running out of space at all.

This phone is a very compact cellphone, considering it has a 5" screen and it's only 5.38" long and 2.75" wide. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is extremely thin and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone of this size.

This phone is equipped with a spectacular 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 5 inches screen, which makes all images and videos look absolutely great. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. Even though it's 13 mega-pixels might appear amazing the back facing camera has a small 0.326797 inches sensor it takes less detailed pictures than you would expect. It also captures videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. In addition, this device's camera also has a high number of amazing characteristics like flash, digital image stabilization, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone has a 2600 mAh inmense Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. This phone has an estimated 571 hours stand by time and a 17 hours talk time according to Samsung.

This cellphone features Wi-Fi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance connection type and also HSPA+ data connection, a lower speed 4G type and fast 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device uses a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone is an incredibly powerful phone that costs around $ 140, quite close to other similar devices.
