By March next year, the Samsung Galaxy S4 would be three years old and the arrival of a new custom ROM based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow would only reinforce its reputation as one of the most, if not the most popular and durable flagship smartphones of the Korean tech giant.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is one of the better flagship smartphones of the Korean tech giant. In fact, it has raised the bar so high that when the Samsung Galaxy S5 came out last year with very little improvements from the Galaxy S4, it became Samsung’s biggest undoing.
Apart from losing its grip to the reputation as the world’s biggest smartphone manufacturer to Apple last year, Samsung also experienced three successive quarters of falling revenues for the very first time.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is already more than two years old but it continues to be a desirable smartphone to many of its loyal users.
The 2013 flagship smartphone of the Korean tech giant still looks pretty smart and still is a very capable handset but its age started to show when it was among the last few devices that got Google’s latest mobile operating system, the Android 5.0 Lollipop, when it officially rolled out in November last year.
