AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Review | Pocketnow

The Galaxy S III was groundbreaking in many ways when Samsung announced it last year. It featured a refreshed design that was "designed for humans, inspired by nature." And that fancy bit of marketing was complimented perfectly by the smooth, rounded, pebble-like design of the Galaxy S III's casing and the countless nature-inspired interface and UX elements.

The S III also featured boundary-bending specifications and a horde of software features that truly differentiated the Galaxy S line from the endless list of mundane, cookie cutter Android smartphones. Gimmicky or not, the Galaxy S III had a ton of features no other smartphone had at the time.

Whether just a testament to Samsung's marketing prowess, the effectiveness of launching a nearly a truly global phone, or an indication of how great the Galaxy S III truly was, the S III has become an icon in the Android smartphone realm. It's a device that, like it or not, will stick in our minds for years to come as one of the biggest mobile success stories... ever.

To date, Samsung has sold over 50 million Galaxy S IIIs worldwide, and that number is certainly still growing rapidly, even in the presence of the newer model.

With so much success, however, the S III left an army of mobile aficionados with astronomically high expectations for future devices in its wake, ourselves included. So how does a company follow-up such a moving smartphone?

From the very start, the Galaxy S 4 was destined to be a letdown of sorts. It was never going to be a radical redesign, or a massive update -- at least not to the extent we all were hoping. Omitting that tiny detail makes it easy to see the Galaxy S 4 as a modest -- even disappointing -- upgrade. But if you take a minute to really go over the Galaxy S 4, there's actually quite a lot to get excited over.

The question remains: is it a great phone? Better yet, is it worth upgrading to from one of last year's flagship smartphones? We've spent five days with the AT&T model of the Samsung Galaxy S 4, and in this video you will find our full take.
