“Although the Galaxy S4 doesn’t deviate too far from the S3′s look, it has been completely redesigned internally and has also received a whole set of new software features. It will probably take me a few weeks to evaluate the S4′s battery life, but I will try to update this review with any further comments I may have. I have only had my S4 for a few days, but these are my impressions so far. If you have any questions, feel free to comment and ask me. The S4 is a fantastic phone and I have no qualms recommending it to anyone.” (Zain)

“The processor is very fast, especially on wifi. The screen is crystal clear and after playing with the settings a little bit very sharp. The best part is that the bloatware that comes with it can be disabled so it isn’t running and using battery up. With moderate use the battery lasts 2 days, even after heavy use the battery still says 30% by the end of the day.” (Jeremy W.)

VERDICT: Samsung Galaxy S4 is extremely powerful with its innovative features and does everything we would expect a flagship Samsung mobile to do. If you’re in the market for a premium device, the Galaxy S4 is the right choice, so make purchase on Amazon.

Fast, no lag at all. Slim, not razor thin but not a brick either. Battery, easily last a day with heavy use and 2 with light to medium. Buttons, natural for me took a day to get used to. Screen, amazing color/crisp/sharp. Size, as big as you can get without making it a phablet. Camera, OIS really does make a difference. Headphone jack, IT’S ON THE BOTTOM!!!” (rdurand)

“I’m really, really impressed with the battery life on this phone. I’ve been letting it (or trying to let it) run down to 10% or less before charging (which probably isn’t necessary, but I’m an old school battery memory guy), and have been getting to 36+ hours between charges so far. My use is usually about an hour talk time, various text/messenger messages, facebook browsing, playing with the voice commands, email push updates, and for the first few days, download/configuration of various apps.” (Peter Marone III)

“I love this phone! I upgraded from a Motorola Atrix that i had for 2 years, which i liked at first, but it was soooo slow. The Moto X is beautifully designed, it’s just the right weight, and size that i was looking for-it is bigger than the Atrix, but still fits in my pocket. One improvement i noticed over the Atrix, is the sound quality-it’s amazing. I also like the front/rear facing camera.” (Marnus)

VERDICT: The Moto X phone is a solid representative of the Android family smartphones with even brighter display that the HTC One offers, but the latter has another pros. The Moto X’s sleek look stands out from the rest phone designs. If you want a great-looking and customizable phone at a affordable price, buy Motorola Moto X on Amazon.com.
