On the Fence to give a perfect 5

Love the phone...no dout...But i would like to have seen it debloated from all the verizon useless apps...every verizon app has to be paid for to use it, when you can DL a better app and use it for free from google play...Also noticed that when it plugged into a computer via usb, the actual micro SD card is called "phone" and the Ext SD card is called "card" but is in fact the phones internal memory...weird...why?...would also have been nice to have an option to remove the stock apps without affecting the OTA updates...otherwise features would have gotten a 5...the biggest issue i have with it is the screen..while watching a movie, and the movie has a dark part the screen has tiny black speckles all over it...i tested the screen with the LCD tester on google play and went to the black screen option, it shows up... replaced it 1 week after owning it...the second phone did the same thing...i was told its a charactor flaw?...still no fix and verizon wont replace it again with a new one...why? otherwise design would have had a 5... other than that the phone works great... battery life is awsome.... sound is awsome... everything else other than the stuff i didnt like was beyond awsome...definitly worth the buy...hense the 5 rating for performance...the cost is a bit high, granted the technology involved is newer and its the newest thing out there, demolishes the iphone and other android competitors, but for the average guy to get one and be part of the better tech world life style, he has to spend alot to get it...so i gave it a 4 for value...
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great battery life, sleek, lots of security features, fastest cpu on market, great read/write to memory
Cons: incorrectly named internal memory, incorrectly named sd card, screen has black spots, tech support sucks (imo), expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the phone but the carrier altered the OS to the point to where the fun Samsung bits are hard to enable or non-existent. Verizon felt it should be harder to turn on and off Wi-Fi so they removed the toggle, as well as they think it’s should be time consuming and redundant to silence so they also removed the notifications toggle. It's too bad that Samsung doesn’t have more say for how the companies they sell their products under revises the software to best suit no one’s needs. Otherwise it’s a good product, just wish it was quad- core in America.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: only one external speaker

Great Great phone with one flaw

Great great phone in every way except one. The on/off button is oppisite the volume button. Most times when you turn the volume up or down you hit the on/off switch and vice versa. Its kinda annoying. Its still an awesome phone but I hope the developers read this and fix that!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

This phone is really worth every cent you pay for it. I switched from an Iphone and this phone is a thousand times better. I do admit that it takes some work and thinking to get the settings where you want them to be (Iphone was common sense) but over all this phone out beats it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big
