Welcoming Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung held their big Unpacked event on the 14th of March in New York City, where they announced the eagerly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4. The new smartphone from the korean based company is packed with innovative features that will most definitely amaze the customers and continue the huge sales numbers established by its predecessor, the Galaxy S3. The enormous number of sales around the world prove that Samsung is more than capable of being the biggest rival to Apple in the global smartphone market.
The Galaxy S4 specifications : the best on the market

With Samsung being such a huge company, their fans can rest assured that they have put the best possible internals in their new flagship device. The CPU powering the international version of the Galaxy S4 is a Samsung made Exynos 5 octa with eight cores that provides blazing processing speeds. It also comes packed with 2 GB of RAM, and NFC chip and all the latest sensors.


The screen is one of the most striking features of the new S4. It is a 5-inch 1080p display powered by Samsung's Super AMOLED technology that produced incredible black color levels. Another thing that is astonishing about the display is that Samsung managed to increase the size of the display while keeping the same size as the previous Galaxy S3.


The GS4 comes with wireless charging capabilites and is compatible with the charging pad and cover that Samsung produces.


The Galaxy S4 great new features

Samsung has put its financial and innovation resources behind the new Galaxy S4 and as a result we now have the most feature packed smartphone on the market today. Samsung has really thought about how regular consumers use their phones on a daily basis, and they have designed the Galaxy S4 around that notion. Hence the tagline of the device “Life companion” which tries to show that Samsung wants consumers to make the Galaxy S4 an integral part of their lives.


Extended camera capabilities

Samsung has put a lot of thought in redesigning the camera features and has created the “DualShot” feature for the Galaxy S4 which lets users use both the rear and the front facing camera at the same time for easy video calling. Another camera feature is the “DramaShot” option which takes bursts of photographs and combines them to create a sort of a time lapse of photographs. The final camera feature is called “Cinema Photo” which is basically a tool to create GIFs, and will surely be popular with the younger users.



The 13 megapixels included in the camera do a really great job of producing crystal clear pictures. The included software also adds to that picture taking experience by allowing users to come up with innovative ways of utilizing their phone camera.


Cutting edge gesture and motion features

The Galaxy S4 serves as a platform for Samsung to showcase what are they capable of. The device comes with some really exciting and innovative features like “Air Gestures” that lets you scroll through the picture gallery or a web page with just swiping with your palm in front of the screen without touching it. “Air View” is another feature that lets you hover with your finger above the screen and see information from a certain app without touching the screen. This feature really is useful for the times when your hands are wet and you don't want to touch the screen.


”Smart” features for Smartphone

The eye tracking technology that Samsung has put in the Galaxy S4 is really interesting and exciting. What the “Smart Pause” and “Smart Scroll” features do, is actually track the movement of your eyes across the screen and take action accordingly. So for example if you are watching a movie and you take your sight away from the screen the phone will pause the film, and restart it once you look back at the screen. The “Smart Scroll” detects when you are approaching the last few sentences shown on the bottom of the screen and scrolls the web page so you can read the article without problems.



Another great feature is the AllPlay mode which lets you and other people in your vicinity that have Galaxy S4's play the same song at the same time. This makes for a great presentation of the technological advances that Samsung has achieved with the Galaxy S4. Along with this new "Smart" features, Samsung has also launched several apps that come preinstalled on the Galaxy S4 that can really be useful. S Health for example monitors your physical activity through the phone's sensors, the S Translator is another useful app for translating foreign languages, and also the Optical Reader which can be used to convert analog text into a digital form.
