A number of different smartphone reports are posted every quarter, but one of the most influential of them definitely have to be the ones by Consumer Reports. They’ve called the Galaxy S4 a “top-notch” smartphone, adding that the device is now their top rated mobile device. It clinches the spot from LG Optimus G, which has held it for several months.
Consumer Reports says that the S4 delivered top-notch performance in most critical areas of their tests, citing its various impressive specs such as the full HD 1080p 5 inch display and plethora of sensors. The S4 has also been called a “true-multitasker” as it lets users run two apps side by side in split-screen view. It has also been termed as a great device for couch potatoes, because HDTVs and set-top boxes can be controlled through it, apart from the fact that it can display program details and local listings. With the Galaxy S4 already on track to sell 10 million units by the end of May, its definitely hard to not admit that Galaxy S4 is indeed a top notch smartphone.
