I just got my S4 a few days ago and love it so far. However I am a little concerned I may have got a defective unit, as it seems to get really hot under certain circumstances. For one, I had been using google maps to navigate, and when I got a phone call the phone felt really hot on my ear. Also, I had been recording at night with the LED on and the phone does not seem to be able to do this for more than about 3 minutes without flash automatically turning off and getting a "unable to use flash, the device is too hot" message. I tested this a couple times. Maybe this is normal and phones are not meant to record with the LED on for more than a few seconds, but I haven't been able to find any info on this. Perhaps I am just being paranoid, but I am still within my exchange period and I'm wondering if it's worth trying to switch for a different one.
