> Samsung Galaxy S4 announced
Bookmark topic
Samsung today announced the Galaxy S4. A 5-inch Android smartphone with LTE, 1.9 GHz quad-core CPU or 1.6 GHz octa-core processor.
We all knew that Samsung would unveil the Galaxy S 4 at the Unpacking event taking place this evening. We have read countless rumours, photo leaks and even video reviews of this new flagship model from Samsung.Most of the specifications we published two weeks ago turned out to be the real thing. The Galaxy S4 will be available in at least two version. One with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.9 GHZ and one version with a octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. The display is 5-inch Super AMOLED and internal storage is 16, 32 or 64 GB. The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean powered device has 2 GB of RAM. It will record Full HD 1080p videos. Still photos are captured with the 13 megapixel main camera, or the 2.1 megapixel front camera.
One interesting thing for the business and enterprise uses is the Knox security feature. Knox separates the phone in a personal space and a work space. A company can for example sync all data on the work space and at the same time have no access to the personal space. Some of the new features are: Smart pause - video pausing when eyes are move away from the screen. S health - calorie counter. New sensors: temperature and humidity in addition to the older Accelerometer, RGB light, digital compass, proximity, gyro and barometer. S-translator text-to-speech and speech-to-text from and to over 6 languages. Camera has an eraser function which will remove unwanted objects from a photo. The dual shot will create pictures by adding a thumbnail photo captured by the front camera to the larger photo captured with the main camera.

This is exactly what I mean. The s4 is good and all, but it's not what the s2 was vs all the other smartphones. It's too early to say, because it's obvious the note series is Samsung's priority in terms of tech now, but Samsung are running out of ideas.

It seems Samsung even wants to imitate Apple with lame upgrades!
This phone couldn't be of a lamer upgrade than this!
The whole show was extremely annoying with all that dancing and BS that went on and on, and all just to announce a minimal incremental upgrade hardware=wise, and a bunch of gimmicky software features at best!
Ridiculous to say the least.
To me, the Xperia Z is the best Droid for this year! And it's not that good given this 2013 we're in and some new innovations were expected..

Completely agree.
Just like last year, so many hopeful rumours - just this year it's an even bigger let-down.

OK things i like are the beautiful screen looks way better than the GS3 & Note 2. Camera features are great too with cool things you can do with it. But apart from that hate the design again and waving your hand up and down the display to scroll. Hmmm you'd look a bit silly in public
I cannot imagine ever using that feature and it looked a little awkward too. I just prefer to use the touch screen. Sometimes Samsung phones try to do too much at once alot of battery draining gimmicks. Nice things about it but when i seen it first time on a video it didn't make my jaw drop. The dual video recording LG already did that in the G Pro

The presentation was awful
The only real difference is the screen, same old boring design...
I'll be looking more closely at the HTC One
Best video Ive seen so far

It's a handsome thing
looks less feminine than the S3 whilest keeping the predecessor's great ergonomics.
Great work by Samsung, it manages to bring a huge 5inch display, great capacity 2600mAh battery, bigger camera sensor and so on yet STILL manages to be smaller and lighter than the GS3:
Incredible stuff.
Icing on the cake? As usual with Samsung, it comes with the very latest, Android4.2.2 out-the-box.
GSMArena also seems thoroughly impressed
Seems Samsung have done it again, ....Z and One what?
