**My Experience with the Samsung Galaxy S4**

As my primary camera wasn't that impressive, I exclusively used the 13 megapix camera on this Galaxy S4 for the first four days. I was not disappointed with the photographs; in fact, I was worried about how they would turn out. However, the photographs came out to be pretty good, and I was impressed with the display quality of the phone. The actual picture that you see on the screen is very close to what you see on the computer, and it's not like the S3 where it produced over-saturated images and looked pale on the computer.

I also liked the display panel of this S4; it's very close to natural, although not totally natural. I was impressed with how well it displayed colors and textures. In contrast to the S3, which had a tendency to produce overly bright images that looked pale when viewed on the computer, the S4 did a much better job in this regard. Overall, I was pleased with the display quality of this phone.

Another aspect of my experience with the Galaxy S4 was its battery life. I would say it's slightly above average, and if you have used the Galaxy S3, you would know that it's a bit better than what you can get on an S3 on a 3G connection. With medium usage to slightly high usage, I found that I could get around 15 to 16 hours of usage, while with light usage on a 2G connection, I was able to get around 32 hours of battery life. I didn't have any problems with the battery life; it performed well even when I used it extensively.

Regarding stability, I had one issue where the phone did reboot automatically twice during my 7-day testing period, once due to a Samsung app. However, I couldn't reproduce this issue again, and overall, I found the phone to be stable and reliable. There were some minor lag issues, particularly with touch wobble, which caused occasional hiccups. However, for most of the time, the phone was lag-free, and it's worth noting that Samsung should tweak the software a bit more to address these issues.

The screen quality of the S4 is also noteworthy; it features a 1080p display that is very sharp and nice-looking. I appreciated the level of customization that comes with this phone, particularly in the auto-brightness setting, which offers multiple levels of adjustment. This feature was not only convenient but also allowed me to fine-tune the screen's brightness to suit my preferences.

One of the newer features on the S4 is Air View, which uses the phone's camera to detect objects and allow you to view them without fully opening an app. While I didn't use this feature extensively, my daughter found it entertaining, and she enjoyed using it to quickly browse through content without having to fully open an app. This feature may not be essential for everyone, but it's a nice touch that adds to the phone's capabilities.

Another feature that I used extensively was the S Health app, which tracks your daily activities, including steps taken. This app was surprisingly effective and easy to use, and I found myself relying on it regularly. The S4 also features an ambient temperature sensor and a barometer, which are useful for tracking weather conditions or monitoring your surroundings.

Finally, the S4 supports wireless audio streaming using the I Blaster technology, which allows you to control televisions, radios, or other devices wirelessly using your phone. This feature was particularly useful during my testing period, as it allowed me to seamlessly switch between music playback on my TV and my phone without having to physically touch either device.

However, there are some downsides to the S4 that I encountered. One of the issues is that if you use the camera extensively, especially for video recording, the phone can heat up quickly, particularly in the top portion and back of the camera lens. This was somewhat inconvenient, although it didn't pose any serious problems during my testing period.

Another issue that some users have raised is related to charging. Some people have reported that the S4 gets hot when charged using the 2A charger provided with the phone. However, I found that using a regular charger like the one that came with the S3 did not cause the phone to heat up. It's worth noting that this issue may be specific to certain users or charging conditions.

Overall, my experience with the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been overwhelmingly positive. With its impressive display quality, reliable performance, and innovative features, it's clear why this phone is a top contender in the market. While there are some minor issues and areas for improvement, I'm confident that the S4 will continue to be a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality smartphone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjit and welcome to my YouTube channel that's geeky Ranjit and in this video I'm going to talk about my experience with the Galaxy S4 now I've been using this phone for almost 8 or n days again this is not a review but just my general opinion regarding this phone uh with the usage of about a week uh as if you are following me you know that I took this phone uh when I took a mini break and this was my primary phone and I have to say the first thing about is that this 13 megapix camera is just spectacular actually the Airlines lost my baggage and my primary camera wasn't that so the for the first 4 days I exclusively used the 13 megapix camera on this Galaxy S4 and I was not disappointed I was actually worried how will the photographs come out but the photographs came out to be pretty good and one more good thing about this S4 is that uh the actual picture that you see on the screen uh it's actually very close to what you see on the computer it's not like the S3 where it produced what you say very oversaturated images and when you looked on the computer it looked pretty pale so again I like the display quality and the panel it's very close to Natural it's again not totally natural but very close so I was impressed with that and I made a small chit uh again uh regarding the battery life a couple of you have asked me I the battery life on this Galaxy S4 is pretty good I would say it is slightly above average and if you have used Galaxy S3 I would say it's little bit better than the battery life that you can get on a S3 on a 3g connection I would say with the medium usage to slightly high usage you can get around 15 to 16 hours of usage and with light usage on 2G connection I was able to get around 32 hours of battery life so in terms of battery life I had no problems with this Galaxy S4 uh regarding stability a couple of you have asked me about that uh in that s or 8 days of usage the phone did uh get rebooted automatically twice with one of the Samsung app but I couldn't reproduce it again again yes uh regarding lag I would say the phone is mostly lag free most of the time but again because of that touch whst at times I see minor hiccups I would say 95% of the time the phone is lack free but yes Samsung needs to tweak the phone a little bit more I don't blame the hardware of it but I blame the software and the touch was uh things uh which causes minor lags at times with this phone uh regarding the screen quality as I said uh it's a 1080p screen very sharp screen and very nice again one more thing that Samsung did with this S4 is that uh the level of software and the customization that it offers is next to none for example even in auto brightness setting we have multiple levels of auto brightness so that's a nice touch I would say again I'll talk about all the minor features and the new features uh when I do a full review again uh regarding some of the gimmicky features like the uh what do you say air view and all those things I did not use that much but my daughter had a uh great time using that she was just uh flicking the phone and she was thinking that it's kind of magic so again in real world usage I don't see a lot of usage but yes it's there if you want to use those gimmicky features and uh coming to two uh other features that I never thought that I'll be using on this S4 and I use them a lot is the S Health app uh by which you can just configure it and it automatically tracks the number of steps you have taken in a day you don't have to do anything and I use that a lot and also this uh phone has the ambient what's say temperature sensor and the what do you say barometer and I use those things a lot and one more thing that this phone supports is the I Blaster so you can control televisions Etc with this so I also used that during my 7 days and it worked perfectly now some of the downsides of the phone that I found is that uh if you use the camera a lot during the day the phone tends to heat up very quickly for example if you shoot HD videos for about four or 5 minutes and take a lot of shots the top portion and the back portion of the camera gets really hot very quickly so that's a little bit annoying uh some of the people also ask me regarding uh charging and the phone gets hot yes the thing is that Samsung has supplied a 2 amp charger with this S4 because it has a bigger battery and if you use that yes the phone gets a little bit hot but during the 7 days I just casually picked up the S3 charger and I charged the phone with that and if you charge the phone with the regular charger like S3 Etc which is a normal charger the phone did not get hot so again I'll be doing a full in-depth review of this S4 so if you have any particular questions regarding this phone do let me know in the YouTube comments below I'll try to include them in my review that's it for now this is ranit from Tech toast.com and I hope to see you
