think editors who have already had a chance to test it? Let’s see

comprehensive test SIV presented portal Cnet.com . Editors crowing with delight:

“Samsung Galaxy SIV is Android 4.2.2, amazing camera, a powerful quad-core processor and softwareowe solution for any occasion – including as a remote control for the TV. It is also comfortable in the hand, is the NFC, SD card slot, and replaceable battery “.

“S4 is at the top of the list for anyone looking for a smartphone knows how all of the big screen”.

TechRadar, pen Gareth Beavis , in addition to top draws attention to the difficulties in the use of innovative features:

“The biggest problem we have with innovation. Air View, Gestures Air, Smart Scroll – it’s all pretty cool but still faulty or over-complicated, eclipsing the simplicity of the device.

“Samsung tried to come up with something new, but if you turn it all just get faster Galaxy SIII with a better screen and battery”.

Steve Kovach from Business Insider believes that SIV is a great phone and if you miss the little plastic cover can be attributed to him. But something can be “

“In many respects Galaxy S4 deserve all this noise is by far one of the best phones you can buy today. But it is still far from its main rivals: iPhone 5 and HTC One, at least if we’re talking about design.”

HTC One is a better choice also by David Pierce The Verge:

“I do not need more cores, more gigahertz, more software that supposedly makes it easy to use your smartphone. need a phone that feels good in your hand, look at my desk, it does everything you expect and do not give me any reason to think ‘m wasting life on a two-year subscription contract.

S4 is fast and effective but noisy and complex. Therefore, in June, when my contract expires with the operator, I’ll be in the hands of HTC Samsung “

Highly regarded in the industry analyst David Pogue The New York Times does not see too many differences from the previous model:

“In the end, the Galaxy SIV is a good choice for people on the edges of the technological spectrum: gad?eciarzy who like to change all your settings and – thanks to the Easy Mode Mode – who value simplicity.

For other S4 is full of the not fully operational features. But basically the phone is great: fast, bright, good-looking. “

Brad Molen Endadget:

“Design does not seem fresh. [...] If you are looking for something new as a user of previous Galaxy S is” Four “is definitely for you. However, if you compare it to the other eye-catching models – HTC One – we can not determine the flagship Samsung’s product differently as predictable “.

Florence Ion

the portal Ars Technica despite the plastic housing for SIV considers reliable device:

“Galaxy SIV is a very solid phone. lies perfectly in the hand, it is convenient to use in the day, it gets much better pictures than its predecessors.”

Brent Rose from Gizmodo sums up in the title of his review: better but not the best. Next, we read:

“SIV is far from a bad phone. In fact, were it not for HTC One would be the best Android phone that you can buy. It would be nice if Samsung introduced innovations that translate into practical user experience instead use easy to ignore showy tricks “.

Dan Rowinski ReadWrite a review gave significant title “Sometimes more is less”.

“Consumers will love the size and shape of the screen and the camera. Developers will love the opportunity to pobawienia the recognition of gestures.”

“Samsung Galaxy SIV napakowa? many custom applications, features a rebuttable usefulness, many of which did not work as it should. This detracts from the overall value of the device”.

Walt Mossberg with AllThingsD’s found that SIV compared with the SIII is a step “good” but not “great”.

“If you take into account the specifications of SIV shines. But plastic case for me is not enough for me. If you are crazy about the new features of this phone is for you.’s good, but not great”.

did not expect that reviewers Galaxy SIV write something bad about this phone. It is Samsung’s flagship product that is sure to find millions of buyers. Korean giant problem may be a bad spread accents. Innovative features somehow not allocated to the editors to taste. HTC decided it was more important to the consumer will be the “general impression” that solid metal body. Like the body of an automobile: it’s better to at first glance shone nicely.

So HTC One has a chance to pick up a significant share of the market to Samsung? Family Galaxy is too popular for it to some spectacular enough to reshuffle. HTC has shown, however, after years of crisis that (in sum editorial opinions) may be a worthy rival Samsung. Now all this enthusiasm must divide the market.
