there's no shortage of excellent smartphones that you could buy it yourself for somebody else this holiday season I'm Jessica doll court for cnet and I'm going to tell you why you should seriously consider making the samsung galaxy s4 here your top pick this is a top-notch smartphone that does all the important stuff really well it's crisp colorful 5-inch screen with the 1080p HD AMOLED display makes viewing everything from articles to videos to games really immersive the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor is also the fastest you can currently find on a smartphone which makes mobile gaming extra satisfying for casual gamers all the way up to those who invest in consoles image quality is big deal to me personally and the galaxy s4 is right in the top consistently capturing lively detailed 13 megapixel images and 1080p HD video low-light photos are a little bit of a weakness but flash a night mode both helped turn out high quality pictures that are usually good enough to frame an easy mode option will appeal to newbies as a way to ease into Android and it will also appeal to anyone who likes a simpler interface on the other end of the spectrum no phone offers more built in software extras for power users adventurous types who dig into every feature will find a TV remote a pile of photo tools and crazy gestures to control parts of the phone with a wave of the hand or glance of the eye the galaxy s4 certainly isn't the best looking phone you can buy in my opinion that honor goes to the HTC One and the iphone 5s but it is attractive enough and also very light and slim best yet nearly every carrier has it and you can expect the prices to drop during holiday promotion off once again i'm jessica Thal court for CNN shining a spotlight on the samsung galaxy s4 you can read my full review at cnet Oh
