This is the Droid you are looking for!

Here we go! I am going to do a short review of the new Samsung Galaxy S4 from US Cellular. I am upgrading from the Samsung Galaxy SIII using my reward points. Did you know US Cellular is the only wireless company to offer rewards just for being a customer and paying your bill on time?
  I am going to start with some specs on this monster. It has a 5" Super Amoled screen, not  too big, not too small in my opinion, a quad core 1.9 GHz. Snapdragon processor, 2600 MAh battery to power all of the features.
  One of the things I like best is the air gesture control, without even touching the screen I can scroll web pages etc. Also I can hover over a photo in my gallery with my finger and get a preview. Of course the normal features are still here, Smart Stay, Smart Rotation, etc.
  One thing I do not like about this device is the "bloatware" from Samsung. I do not care for the Samsung Hub, Samsung Music, Samsung books, Samsung app store, Samsung Games, Chaton, you get the picture. This seems to take away from some of the Android experience of being able to customize your phone to your liking. Luckily these (and some others) can be disabled. The one good thing I have found in the bloat is Samsung Watchon, this will turn your device into a remote for your tv and receiver box. Also with the 16 GB version you only get about 8 GB free space before adding anything at all! I personally like the more pure Android experience, in other words give me the phone with the basic apps and OS I will put what I want on it. Even with the added bloat, the phone has very little to no lag.
  The camera is a monster 13 megapixel with full 1080 p video recording and playback, so if the camera is an important feature to you this phone is for you! The camera comes with some interesting features such as Drama shot, Best face, Beauty face, Night mode, Sports mode, Eraser mode which lets you remove moving objects from photos. Also it has several special effects.
  Now to the more mundane things, the signal strength (which was questionable by some standards on the SIII) seems great so far. Maybe an antenna placement issue? Call quality is very good along with the external speakerphone option. The i call volume is excellent on this device as well. The device comes with the standard Samsung keyboard and Swype Keyboard, both with the numbers on the main keyboard. Texting is the standard Samsung skin, so you may want to consider installing your favorite third party texting app.
  Over all I give this device a strong 4.7 star rating.

  If there is anything you would like to know about this phone or Android in general feel free to hit me up on G+ or in the comments.
