I first discovered the Galaxy line of products from the Galaxy S2 after migrating from an iPhone, I was blown away from the first moment with the great features, ease of use and simply unlike my iPhone I was bale to connect my device to my PC and without much hassle move my media back and forth without being tied down to using specific pieces of software or modding my device to have features that should come standard. From then on I have been using Samsung device, more specifically the Galaxy line of smart phones.

Weighing in at just 4.59 ounces the Galaxy S4 is quite light weight and easy on the hands.
One of the most impressive features and improvement of the Galaxy S4 is the rear facing 13 Megapixel camera which is capable of shooting content in full HD. The front facing camera for video conferencing is a mare 2 Megapixels and not overly impressive unless you are one for taking selfies.

Cool New features
With the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung did not skip on cool and added a whole new set of features which includes Smart Pause that allows gestures based control with the use of your eyes to control the device when viewing multimedia content such as video, simply start to gaze and your device will notice and save you the trouble of pausing your favorite show.

Personal Impressions
There is one thing that can be said about Samsung device and that is that they are quite the lookers, so right out of the box you will be impressed with the sleek look of the Galaxy S4.

2. Larger display with the latest Gorilla Glass.
3. All new Gestures that provide improved control of your device without needing to touch it.

2. As with all smart device while the screen may be of Gorilla Glass and scratch resistant you may want to Grab a protective case to protect the rest of the device from nicks and dents.
