The introduction of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 is a polarizing release recently of the Android Smartphone manufacturer. On the one hand, Samsung has set the Galaxy S3 and added some 160 + new features of the S4 of the Galaxy, including the additions welcomed as a bigger battery, fine grinding, large and high resolution and a faster processor, large blooms can follow. On the other hand, are mocking, some in the tech industry despite all changes, describe the Galaxy S4 S3S of the Galaxy, a name, which draws 4 to 4 S iPhone, not enough has changed between the generations and the S4 Galaxy, a Galaxy S3 with a little more under the hood is basically in the course of the iPhone Apple marketing as. In this report, we examine both sides of the equation and see if the Galaxy S4 would like an upgrade for current Galaxy S3 owners force, as it is an alternative to Apple in the room for those.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most powerful phone that we have ever tested and its fat, full HD display is the best in the industry. A drawback is its plastic construction and some of you may find it complicated to use, but there is no doubt, it seriously is a good phone.
Main features
Full HD Super AMOLED screen, 5 inches; Qualcomm-1.9 GHz, 2 GB RAM, air supply and gesture; smart scroll stop; infrared remote; sensors temperature and humidity; 13 mega pixel camera
Manufacturer: Samsung
Storage
Samsung said that the phone can be 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage, but at the time of writing this report, the 16 GB model was offered for any network. If you want a larger capacity models, you will most likely go directly to Samsung or expect to see retailers who offer this SIM free.
It is important to remember that Samsung huge additional phone that takes up a lot of space. 16 GB storage, only 8 GB used. Samsung defended it, arguing that it needed space for all the new features, but still raised some indignation Facebook page, writing one commentator "wemisadvirtising it's a scam."
The root path you can delete all the phone Samsung software, editing, lots of space, but it will void your warranty and may cause damage to the phone, if you do it wrong. Another commenter stated "for £ 550 you shouldn't be void your warranty and potentially brick your phone, simply declare the space".
And there's a microSD card slot under the counsel so that you can at least expand storage to make room for all of your photos and videos. Annoying, Samsung does not allow apps to install on the SD card so players want to keep an eye on how much the games installation-3 shiny real racing requires approximately 2 GB of space.
Display
5-inch screen is one of the S4 Galaxy, a massive 1, 920 x 1, 080 pixel resolution characteristics of the title. Full HD for me and you. Stunning 720 p Galaxy S3 display advertising, but in most cases, probably will not notice much difference.
The screen of the S4 sharpness, icons and text will be no haze, the edges at all. To read a long text Web pages are perfectly comfortable, and of course high resolution images nicely crispy.
The one from HTC has that same resolution, but the slightly smaller screen size means that the pixels are more closely packed. That is 468 pixels per inch (PPI), which is closely 441ppi bat, the S4, but I really couldn't tell the difference between them, even when looking at close quarters. More pixels mean a sharper picture, but still above the threshold of 720 p S3 have little interest to choose-there are simply not enough of a difference.
What matters is how well it displays images, videos and apps. Fortunately, the S4 is also an excellent job here. The screen is, the utility can be found in some of the Super AMOLED Samsung phones, which makes it incredibly vivid.
The colors are rich and fatty, almost on the point of being a bit saturated. If it's too conspicuous, then you can choose different color profiles from the options menu. This light too, but not enough of the retina-burning level. My colleague, Jessica Dolcourt struggled a bit on the basis of the ideas of Sun, San Francisco, although they do not have the same issue-the grey skies of London unfortunately. He easily countered with the lights, however.
Camera
S4 zoom camera Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy have learned from the brand with S4, Samsung could be the first camera phone.

Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
More programs from Samsung, the overall interface is not very different from what you find on S3. You will find six home screens where you can extract to the bottom of your applications and widgets. There are four app icons at the bottom, there is some matter that the home screen you to provide quick access to most frequently used applications.
Android interface is not very different in the interface of S3.
Ask the new Widget, you can press on and hold the menu to appear on the home screen or go to the list of applications, where you will see a graphical tab. These are a few ways to accomplish the same thing through quite often phones Samsung and is not necessarily a good thing.There are two ways to install new widgets. It is up to you to know what is the best.
Samsung bundles organized its phones from your own Web browser and e-mail client, pressing your own app store to the front. As an Android phone, the phone also comes with the browser Chrome, Gmail and of course play in Google store, which means you can find several options for an instrument on board as standard.
Two browsers, e-mail clients, and app stores are installed as standard. This phone is far from simple.
For experienced of you tech junkies, it is perhaps not a problem. Those of you who want a simple and elegant interface that allows you to perform basic hassle perhaps too happy however. The interface is easier to understand.
Now both the phone and software settings that Samsung had split into three separate tabs in a menu.
Using the drop-down list of notifications home bar with quick access to options that develops in a list of 20 parameters of multiple functions. Some of them are obvious - Bluetooth, silent - but some keys are probably also wrong that the big carrier aircraft in the aircraft cabin. Without leaning on the manual, you should be aware that disabling the 'Sync' button will do? What is synchronization? And where?
There are 20 different settings on the shortcut menu. It is confusing, even for a phone smart veteran.
Go into the settings menu, you will see that Samsung has so many individual settings, it should be divided into three separate menu tab. The most important parameters change means now, where exactly the Samsung store. You want to change the date and time? Now as "more", of course. It would be too easy to put in the 'my device '.
If you delete the apps, you do not want and do not play with the settings too, you can facilitate the S4 to everyday use. If you prefer the simplicity of the iPhone out of the box, however, you can also find themselves overwhelmed by the wealth of options open to you. I do not recommend you play with the settings tab too, either - you can accidentally disable a critical and wonder why you can't connect to the Internet.
Android call for many, however, is the ability to customize almost everything what a phone can do. If it is you, you will find fun to work with, and the S4 it will serve good trends tinkering.
If you want an easier experience, you would be better off looking at the iPhone or Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 920. Even the new HTC Sense on a easier to face.
Samsung Galaxy S4-fast
There is no getting away from the fact that this phone has more noise surrounding any Android device had preceded it. Fortunately, Samsung has backup much of that anticipation, offers well-rounded, very strong which, although lacking something on the front aesthetic, and is sure to impress the masses.
View Samsung Galaxy S4 near look identical to S3 and some hardware updates mill, some will say that the phone Samsung Galaxy S3S more in the vein of Apple's incremental updates from behind S3 is true. However, the phone is in fact and practice, a whole new beast, which exceeds what has been, so far at least, the most successful Android Smartphone in the world.
