This phone is completely and utterly destroyed by bloatware which cannot be removed. Why is this not the first and foremost point in the main article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.24.207 ( talk) 22:38, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I am a telcom worker, and have never heard anything as bad as the call reception for this phone. I also promote Android in a successful blog, but I'm about to write an article simply lamblasting this thing into the next dimension. Be warned of the realities should you be considering a purchase. (I love the screen though) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.135.254.253 ( talk) 07:19, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Why is there no information about the new Samsung? The wikipedia page for Samsung S4 is empty. It has already been released and we know the full features of this phone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bastian2013 ( talk • contribs) 01:12, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
User 69.70.231.94 is attempting to falsify the numbers on the Galaxy S3/S4 pages. I fixed some of the numbers that he changed, but dimensions and weight need to be verified. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.70.231.194 198.188.7.150 ( talk) 15:24, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I attempted to clarify this in the article. clarification needed The sources do not explicitly say how they are switched, but implied is that the pairs are switched rather than all four at a time. As this is handled by the system as a black box, more details may take time. The big.LITTLE article needs a revamp too. Widefox; talk 17:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
The Samsung GALAXY S4 screen size is 5 inches not 4.99 Samsung Elections comfirm this on there website so i updated this on page Thanks. Phonegeek214 ( talk) 16:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC) [3]

Widefox the 4.99 refs are not true there are not taking by Samsung . You need to read the link I sent you above you will see the official statement and press release from news event im just trying give you a true source of information it your choice if you take or leave it. Phonegeek214 ( talk) 03:55, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Widefoxsaw the Samsung roadmap on the pocketlint site but source i got my information was directly from Samsung and have email from them that does say the screen is 5.0 inches so even if is 4.99 inches best thing is to round up. If that case s3 phone was 4.8 inches then we should listen at 4.79 inches but it really no big deal to me just was trying point that out.Also Att is talking pre-orders for the phone and list the phone at 5” Super AMOLED™ display boasting 1920x 1080 pixel screen resolution. 1.9GHz quad-corebrocessing power. Long life 2600 mAh Li-Ionbattery provides hours of continuous use. Features2GB RAM and 16GB available storage. Phonegeek214 ( talk) 15:00, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
The screen is not 4.995 inches all the international carriers from t mboile to att list this on ther wbsite so the 4.99 refs need to be changed here what listed:
5” Full HD Screen 1,920 x 1,080 resolution 441 ppi 2600 mAh battery Talk Time: Up to 17 hours 3G Standby Time: Up to 350 hours 4G Standby Time: Up to 300 hours 13 MP BSI Camera Sensor with LED flash 2 MP front-facing camera

I was wondering if the first paragraph in the S4 article should describe the Octa Core processor as it does on 15 April, since the Octa core information is given in the Hardware section. Frmorrison ( talk) 18:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Here the specs from samsung to be added to page http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I337ZKAATT-specs Phonegeek214
Why is Canada not listed in the chart? Canada is just as important, if not more important than the USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.159.33.192 ( talk) 13:38, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
I thought it would be good to get some discussion going on the items missing from this article, which can be easily found in the S3 article (for instance): Miracast is listed on the S3 article, just needs a certification ref, or ref from a spec site. Widefox; talk 10:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Details about the Octa-core big.LITTLE processor running in HMP mode - Linaro activating all 8 cores on Samsung Galaxy S4 [12]. There's discussion and confusion about this, so it is not clear to me that our octa-core description is correct, that all four cores are migrated at once (rather than individually). A better source is still needed. Widefox; talk 15:03, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
The S4's codename is Altius. Shouldn't it be mentioned in specs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubbletruble ( talk • contribs) 15:57, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Source of information - Samsung kernel sources. Exynos 5 Octa can work at 1.8GHz, but only if 1xA15 core used. But this functionality is disabled anyway. So, 1.6GHz for A15 is the official maximum frequency for all Octa-based S4 versions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.250.113.151 ( talk) 06:02, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
As the editor who brought Samsung Galaxy S III and Nexus 7 to GA, I am willing to help anyone who is interested in getting this article to GA. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 07:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Keeping this in proportion due to WP:WEIGHT, and removed the usable amount quantity (8GB or 9GB or whatever ROM you've got) - as this is only 1GB more used than the S3, and similar to other devices, not at all specific to S4 or very notable, despite BBC Watchdog. Widefox; talk 16:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
The section on the Google Experience version states that the device will have an unlocked bootloader "similar to Nexus devices". To my knowledge Nexuses have locked bootloaders. Discuss? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotto1211 ( talk • contribs) 20:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It already breaks the formatting of the page and looks like shit. Consider removing something from it or at least splitting it or something. 173.68.70.47 ( talk) 20:55, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
I disagree. The table adds useful information, and it's good to see all the models and variations at a glance. Codenames should also be added to the table, not just model numbers, for completeness (and because knowing the codename is important when searching for compatible firmware upgrades and such). -- Kreline ( talk) 20:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
For example i9505 is jflte. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubbletruble ( talk • contribs) 13:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
This article regularly switches between "S4" and "Galaxy S4" when referring to the device. For the sake of consistency, which title should we stick to? The Galaxy S III article has a similar issue. Thoughts? Acalamari 10:18, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that Jeromesandilanico removed File:Galaxy S4 with TouchWiz.png, which was uploaded by Frmorrison, citing it being " questionable" and then " under dispute". What sort of consensus is being sought? I can't see any obvious problem with this image, seeing that Frmorrison has added the licensing status to it. The only disputed tagging on the image at the moment is the "orphaned" tag, which was only added as a result of the image's removal from this article. Acalamari 08:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Model number SGH-i537. Branded carrier AT&T in USA. This model is not present in the table above. I would add it, however, I don't know all the details for it myself. -- Kreline ( talk) 20:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
There have been numerous reports of really bad batteries on this phone, where a lot of costumers have had to return their phone and get a new battery that works. I guess this is also related to the fires. I'll add some information later if nobody else does it. Jørgen88 ( talk) 19:37, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
There are stores that claim to have 32/64 GB versions of the GT-I9505 and others, however at Samsung's specs they are not listed, so won't be included unless some official source does it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubbletruble ( talk • contribs) 17:48, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Sprint doesn't have 32 or 64 gb version at this time. Bubbletruble ( talk) 15:57, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
I propose that Samsung Galaxy S4 Active be merged into Samsung Galaxy S4. I think that the content in the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active article can easily be explained in the context of Samsung Galaxy S4, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Lopifalko ( talk) 14:03, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Eh? What's the pixel width/height? Rtdrury ( talk) 11:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
somebody should put the current software its running in the article... clearly states it was updated to 4.4 but when you look at the specs it still says 4.2... it hasnt been running that in a long time. you might wanna put being upgraded to lollipop too. and it also states there is no fm transmitter but under the wifi category it says FM. now im not the most savvy tech guy but ive never heard of FM from wifi. i know you can stream the radio over the internet but thats unrealated to wifi under the hardware information. unless theres something i dont know — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.208.99.239 ( talk) 23:57, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
