I don't typically write reviews but I feel as though I should warn people about how fragile this phone is. Trust me, I'm an avid samsung fan and have been using the s2 for the past 2 years. I was beyond excited when the s4 came out. It worked perfectly for a month and then the screen became discolored. I sent it to samsung to get it repaired and now they're wanting to charge me $200 to get a LCD digitizer repair.
I have never dropped this phone and have babied it for the month I had it and still a tiny crack underneath the screen showed up. There are many people I've seen with the same issue if you just google the issue. I expected better service from samsung and honestly this bad experience may push me to never get samsung again.

Just keep in mind that the international version GT-I9500 is NON LTE; if you are looking for an LTE phone, I'd suggest to keep looking. Other than that, this phone is great. It might be a little pricey for the non-LTE version but if you are in the US and on T-Mobile that hasn't rolled out LTE yet, it is not an issue. Other than that, great phone and awesome features.

Had my phone only about 33 days before the screen and digitizer broke ($200 in repair). I dropped my phone out of my pocket onto a carpeted floor. This is excessively fragile for a phone to break so easily. Do some googling and you'll see that people have the screen break in their pocket, while in a protective case. There is a manufacturing problem with this phone which will eventually be recalled and repaired or class action sued to resolve. If you must buy this phone, make sure you buy the insurance (oh, by the way, thats expensive too).
