The next big thing is here. Samsung is finally out with Galaxy S4, the much awaited phone of this year. Now, just sit back and scroll through this article to get a glimpse of what happened during the entire event.
Like other Galaxy Handsets, Galaxy S4 is also made up of polycarbonate casing, but is still the best looking Galaxy till date. Owners of S III and Note II will surely be jealous of this.
Weighing in just 130g and measuring at 69.8mm x 136.6mm x 7.9mm, Galaxy S4 is "Slimmer, lighter & Solid" than any other Galaxy.
Samsung ditched the pebble blue and Galaxy S4 is now available in two colors - “White Frost” and “Black Mist”.
Samsung has come up a feature named Air Gesture which allow users to use gestures to change sound tracks, browse through pictures and other stuffs. Also, there is something known as Air View, that allows users to hover their finger above content to get a quick sneak preview. (Amazing!)
Some of the features are -
- Screen Mirroring
- Smart Pause : Which let you pause the video when you look away from the screen.
- Smart Scroll : lets you scroll through pages simply by titling your device.
Apart from all above, S4 includes Bluetooth 4.0, NFC & GPS.
Samsung also introduced 'Sound and Shot', a new add-on which allows user to record five seconds of audio before clicking a shot. As Samsung says, “it’s like adding another dimension of detail to the memory you’re creating."
Other cool features include 'Eraser', which lets you remove people in pictures who might be “interrupting” your photo.
Apart from all these, there are some standard smartphone features like HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode, panorama shot, sports mode, face detection.
- Group Play - allows you to connect 8 S4 devices together with no wireless router required!!
- Adapt Display - adjusts the volume and tone to an optimum level for user's comfort.
- WatchON - transforms your smartphone into an IR remote, through which one can control TV, set-top box, DVD player etc.
Galaxy S4 will be launching on 327 carriers in 155 countries, at the end of April 2013.
