Technobuffalo: Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is about to take the world by storm. Such a storm, in fact, that some analysts are already calling for 10 million Galaxy S4 device shipments during the first month it’s on sale. There’s no doubt it’s going to be a popular device, but is it one that you should pick up? Quite possibly, especially if the teardown video we have here is any indication.

The Galaxy S4, in its day, was a pretty capable smartphone. However, with its fourth birthday fast approaching, its update period has long since passed.
It was everything we ever wanted – a high-end smartphone from one of the world’s biggest Android OEMs, without the crapware known as the younger version of TouchWiz. At Google I/O in 2013, Google announced the first two models in the Google Play Edition lineup of devices, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition.
