What are your favorate features on your S4? I feel like I dont know half of them !

Favorites of Samsung's features:
- Smart Stay
To keep the screen on while reading.

- Smart Alert
Phone vibrate when I touch the phone and there is a missed call or missed sms.

- Custom vibration patterns for each of my preferred callers, which help me identify who is calling me while the phone is in silent mode. Example; my son knows that during certain hours I can't pick up the phone, so when I feel the vibration on my table in certain pattern, I know it's an emergency and I will excuse myself and take the call. Any other calls, I will follow up later on.
I have different pattern for friends, close friends, family members and anybody else.

- Lock Screen Widget, which is more of an Android 4.2 feature than Samsung's. I absolutely love it, especially having few, cool extensions installed, I get all kind of notifications without unlocking the phone.

- Camera
I use the animated photo, panorama and drama shot quite often.

- NFC
Using NFC every day, to toggle between house mode, office mode, sport mode and drive mode. Turning certain features and app or network connection setting without going through all the settings every time.

- Group Play
Every evening when I work in my studio, my son sets up a playlist and stream it to my phone. Love that feature, even tho it was one I would expect to use the least

- Remote View Finder
Used it for the first time last week, during family event. I put wife's device on a shelf, while I was using mine to take candid shots of friends, at random, so they were not too self aware in front of the camera.

I would also recommend these two links, where you can find some features, you most likely are not aware of, yet
