auto_transcript: is probably one of the biggest
smartphone releases up the year and it's certainly one of the most
anticipated Samsung restoring everything is going to its newest flagship release so does it live up to all the hype a
judgment of a mentor thought it was going on everybody and yes this is the Samsung Galaxy as for the Samsung Galaxy s4 follows up
the tremendously popular galaxy s3 and hopes to now only please
those loyal to the line but also to entice anyone who was held up until now the
design of the s4 is largely derivative of its older counterparts especially in the white model you have
the white bezel shrunken down to accommodate the 5-inch screen flatter sides and a different layout for
the rear camera and speaker otherwise the button layout is just
about the same as it was on the s3 the back cover is still removable you
not only get access to the SD card slot and battery but you can even buy excess recovers
like the smart cover or the wireless charging cover for added functionality but the phone continues Samsung strand
of plastic bodies and covers it may be a material choice that is
starting to get old but nonetheless anyone who has used as3 in the past will
feel right at home here let me reiterate that the Samsung Galaxy
s4 feels pretty much like its predecessor while the generous that it might be
getting a little played out remember that there is so much improvement
everywhere else and yet it is actually smaller than the
s3 with the same height that as for sheds a fraction of the s3's
thickness and is even a little bit narrower most
important here however is that the s4 is even lighter though it might only be three grams
lighter there is a balancing to the galaxy s4 that makes it feel like a
feather you can definitely call that a victory
in the design department as this is the best handling five-inch screen device out there shortly after receiving this
unit I was able to text chat browse and play with one hand
comfortably the flat side to make the phone easy to grip with two fingers and
palm annie hamp gymnastics typically needed
for a 5-inch screen or at the least required when using this phone only rarely did I need to use my other
hand to reach the very top left corner of the screen perhaps the most obvious improvement at
first glance is the display Samsung brought their
super amela take up to a 5-inch screen capable of 1080 P resolution and 441 PPI the result is one of the best displays
on a smartphone period now only is it easily view will in
almost any condition it is also capable of some very steep viewing angles the over colorful TouchWiz UI benefits
from the screens high saturation making colors pop out and basically
punch you in the face reading anything on the screen is easy
to as text is incredibly sharp move under that screen and you'll find
that the Galaxy s4 is among the fastest phones around it has the quad core Snapdragon 600
processor that is on the currently found on about a few other devices and as a big leap from the s4 pro it is
not the Exynos Oct a core that we may have heard about
but this processor package definitely included in North American models is still an incredible performer I was
have been through all elements of the UI and multitasking with no problems a few tests in antutu benchmark put the
galaxy s4 right around the very impressive 25,000 mark Epic Citadel puts the tried-and-true
Adreno 320 performance at very high ratings and the two gigabytes are available for
oliver multitasking pleasure hardware is what the Samsung Galaxy s4
has in spades the speakers no fun facing boom sound
byte it is quite loud and as far from 10 E I the s4 is there now only sporting
expandable memory and a replaceable battery but a host of new sensors and
utilities for a bunch abuses first one listed as a IR
blaster capable of controlling a host of TV's septa boxes and players GPS WiFi and
Bluetooth or your standards while NFC with SB makes its return but there
are many sensors at in that complement the typical accelerometer and proximity
im sensor you now have a barometer and a
temperature gauge to check on the general conditions around you an RGB light sensor that helps adjust
the collar and white balance on the screen based on his detection of light an infrared sensor for all hands in air
gestures and all sensor for detecting closed smart converse and finally a compass what is perhaps
best about these additions is that software inclusions make them all useful
in one way or another but we'll get to that soon the battery
unit included with the s4 is a far higher capacity than most five-inch
screen device offerings 2600 Milan towers are able to power this
on for quite a while making the end of the day a little less
precarious for the common user with a bit of a robust test using wifi
and Netflix movies the phone finally knocked out at right
under the four hour mark otherwise straight browsing time in
playing videos from memory certainly came in at impressively long times usually around eight or so hours on wifi
without disabling sink it is definitely among the longest
lasting five-inch screen devices available and with the ability to replace the
battery wanna finally runs out of juice you really shouldn't have any power
issues on the Galaxy s4 improvements on the camera start of
pretty standard 13 megapixels are what you get this time around while the front
facing camera gets to additions are all in the application
itself in which there are now a bunch of new ways to use those optics ones you may expect include best face
which text Bershad and allows you to replace
detected faces to find the right one you need for the shot animated photo which just basically take
Sabir Shah and creates animated gifts from them squeak picture 6 shocks HDR and Panorama you are also able to use both the front
and rear facing cameras in order to create a doll shot picture or video now the big additions take further
advantage for those buchholz be a racer mode and drama shot research detects the
object to move aside from your subject and background and erases anything not meant to be in
the picture drama shot instead abs the moving
subject on top of the stable background creating a nice looking one picture
burst subject both are nice to use as long as your
device and the general background are stable picture called in the s4 is really quite
good just as the s3 was considered a great performer in the 8 megapixel space
ps4 is among the best in the 13 megapixel
space you get a great deal of detail and the collar shut saturation is high enough to make any
picture nice and vibrant with great quality in a host a voice to
take a picture the galaxy s4 is definitely at the top of the list love smartphone cameras and finally we
get to the software TouchWiz is an Android UI that you
either love or hate personally I've never been a big fan of its more bloated and yet Cooper colorful look though the
great quality of the screen certainly helps make those colors really go nuts but this time around with the jelly bean
4.2 point to power version of Samsung's UI I actually didn't immediately replace it
with a different launcher while that might happen eventually I
have found why it is more tolerable this time around it's the size of the screen high
resolution displays often run the risk of making things uncomfortably small or weirdly spaced
out but the already in large and bloated touch with them elements
translate perfectly to the 1080 P display what you get isn't easily accessible
interface that even with the smallest font size is simple to navigate without having to
squint to pinpoint there are a number of new ways to get
around in built-in applications it might be a little daunting to look
through all of these but a large power widget in the notification dropdown
gives you a quick glimpse there are motion
features that return like to read calling which caused a contact currently
displayed automatically when the phone is brought to your face or muting when turning your phone over
onto its face a sensitive screen allows you to get around even when wearing gloves as well as
usual finger like an S Pen to get quick previews gallery albums
adding the most practical application of this interview is previewing your last
received a text and then they're all love the different
pair gestures that take advantage of the motion sensor you can jump through a web page go to
the next picture change the music track my favorite one is a quick info screen
that pops up after you wave your hands it's a brilliant way to quickly get the
time date and notifications of miss calls and texts quick tip toe you something s the sensor
has to pick up the movement for the gesture to register so you don't have to do so fast smart
screen capability is utilized a front facing camera to detect if you're still
looking the screen will stay on as long as the
phone is at an angle and eyes are still on the screen and smart pause while POS a video
playing when you look away I personally like the smart school let
the phone detector eyes after which you can slightly tilt your
head to look at the bottom or top of the screen which will scroll a webpage accordingly
you just have to take that extra second or two to allow the phone to detector
ice new app sync looted or the as translator
which allows for voice and text translations among about a dozen
different languages story album which put your pictures
together in an ice floe book format in group play which allows you to
connect to a bunch of other as for devices to share pictures
documents presentations and music well I don't have other units to
demonstrate this right now i can say it is a really cool feature especially when you have 520 devices put
together and make every single one play one of the five channels at music and finally there's s health perhaps the
biggest and ever if you've ever used multiple diet or exercise tracking
applications Samsung has tried to consolidate them
all into as health you can track food from a database or
from information you add in yourself track physical activity log wat and even
use the thermometer and barometer to check humidity and temperature of your
surroundings the dress code in the as for can also be
set on for tracking your steps if one is in your pocket wanna put it to
some work still all these features will be further
augmented with the number of accessories you can buy like a heart rate monitor arrest
predominant and a weight scale it's actually a nice we have died
applications that can help anyone who gets into the habit have tracking to get into shape to end
we have the price the Samsung Galaxy s4 should be coming
on pretty much all major carriers most of whom have already posted
pre-orders in america it will be around $200 with a two-year contract while the
un carrier T Mobile plan will ask for 150 upfront with twenty dollar device
payments each month for two years with the galaxy s4 slated to come out on
just about any carrier you'll be able to get your hands on one no problem unlike prices will likely get around the
seven hundred dollar US mark and so there you have it I will say
this: Samsung put a lot of work into making
sure their s4 offers the most to its users all the sensors get many ways of
performing tasks we can use to doing well just our fingertips other features like group play in the
camera additions are neat tricks that are fun to use once you find the time to
use them and as health will help anyone for
active enough to use it and that's about the gist love the life
companion Samsung Galaxy s4 it may not be particularly revolutionary
but it does get close to perfecting what is already in place while giving a new alternative ways how
to do that given choices on how to tackle pretty
much any typical task and if you don't want to use this
particular features well you really don't have to but just like Samsung the company itself
it's all there for you and one day you just might end up trying
it out serendipitously or even out of sheer boredom and then
before you know it you fall in love for all the Samsung
Galaxy S for coverage due to into and read it already YouTube channel and
keep up with and retorted a calm because we are your source for all things Android
