Know your Samsung Galaxy S4 -2


As said the rumor a few months ago, Samsung has actually had novel methods of navigation with the Galaxy S4 who did not need the user touches the screen of the device. One of the first named Air View, which lets you swipe your finger on the screen of S4 to initiate additional input methods. For example, you can preview videos, see several tabs at the same time. Air Gestures is also possible with the Galaxy S4, and in fact a cool method of interacting with the device. You can make a hand signal from left to right or vice versa to scroll through the images in the photo gallery S4, change browser tabs or change songs in the music player of S4. Left and Right actions are not the only input methods Air Gesture because you can also do up and down to scroll through a web article.

View Air and Air Gestures rolled out as expected, although the two functions should be set in motion as it is disabled by default. The S4 could recognize the methods waved, from the open hand, a clenched fist, and even something as crazy as the salvation Vulcan were all recognized by the device. View on Air, tilt the S4 to scroll in an email or an article was as easy as they said, although I'm curious to see how this function works when you walk down the street and you accidentally tilt your device.

Given the time that our eyes see our Smartphone, it's a little scary to think that we can look at our devices to interact with us in different ways. Galaxy S4 is equipped with facial recognition technology to know that we are doing, not to spy on us, but for two features: Smart Pause and Smart Scroll, as the rumors say. Smart Pause function is presented as a way for the Galaxy S4 whether you give your full attention to the device if not it should pause the video you're watching. As cool as it looks, I've never been able to run the function with the little time I spent with the device. I do not know if my glasses or lighting has something to do with it, but even turning my head completely, the YouTube video has not paused. I guess the ability of the device to "see me" with correct lighting is the key to make it work.

Smart Scroll is another function of the Galaxy S4 watching you so that you can use while you are reading an email or web page to scroll text without having to touch the phone screen. It could be a very interesting feature if you hold your S4 with one hand and a drink in the other and you do not want to let go continue to read your article. Simply tilt the phone in the direction you want to scroll the words, and it will automatically done. Staying healthy is important for the vast majority of people, because we're in gyms, go out to run, and even do a basketball game from time to time. If you have your Galaxy S4 in hand, it will help you keep an eye on your health with very little interaction. After all, Samsung says its Galaxy phones are "made for humans", right?

In its program S Health, there are three tools that will help you maintain good health. The first is a pedometer, which counts the numbers of steps you take in a day, but if you are on a hill or slope, which respectively requires more or less effort. The second is a tracker comfort level, which takes into account the temperature and humidity of the day to let you know, "Hey! You got hot and dripping sweat today. "Last reflects what you eat to count calories.

Samsung does not make a ton at the moment, but the Galaxy S4 created KNOX, part of SAFE. Both are software programs that make life easier for IT Departments that manage Smartphone, especially in a BYOD (bring your own device) where employees and firms want to separate the data and apps "professional" and "personal". For now, the company cannot see any private data, which makes employees happy. On the other hand, professional apps are completely isolated and IT managers can easily remotely wipe in case of theft, or if the employee leaves the firm. KNOX we covered at the MWC 2013, so you can see what it is.

As you are probably aware, the Galaxy S4 will provide its users with unique features, but Samsung is also working on accessories to help you get the most out of your device.

One of the first things is improving its S Covers, which is called S Cover View. When the S Cover View is combined with the Galaxy S4, it will display information about a small window that will give you the time, incoming SMS, the identity of a caller or the ability to accept or decline a call telephone. This allows you to take your phone to tell the time or accept or reject an incoming call much easier because you no longer have to open your device to completely manage any of these simple tasks. Before today, we knew that Samsung would give substance to its Galaxy S4. The company has diversified to provide phablets, tablets, mini-tablets, among others, but its range of Galaxy S Smartphone has always been their mobile products with the most successful to date.

Galaxy S4 goes further than the Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and powerful, while the phone will seriously consider those who do not yet have a Galaxy S device or iPhone owners when it will be available to second quarter of 2013.

Know your Samsung Galaxy S4 -1



After several months of rumors and speculation that Samsung has put together with his Galaxy S4, now they have finally lifted the veil of secrecy. And the results are certainly impressive a display of what the company believes to be his future in the Smartphone business since the Galaxy S4 is equipped with a 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED, a camera of 13 megapixels on the rear panel and run on Android 4.2.2.  Galaxy S4 is loaded with a new software suite that is presented on hardware impressive. Samsung understands that beyond the impressive hardware, it is the user experience and user productivity that will ensure the success of its line of Smartphone Galaxy S series.

We know that the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S4 can be very important to you, then Samsung has not revealed everything about the specifications, but here is what is already official:

Android: Android 4.2.2
Main processor: Samsung Octa 5 OR Qualcomm Snapdragon, depending on the region.
Storage 16/32/64Go, microSD up to 64
Display: 5 "HD Super AMOLED (441 ppi +). Samsung reveal more about the technology of the screen.
Memory: 2GB of RAM
Battery: 2600 mAh
Main camera: 13 megapixel autofocus camera with 1080p recording
Front camera: 2 megapixel
Colors: black and white frost mist
Misc: infrared transmitter (remote control for apps)

Samsung has not confirmed what the area will Exynos 5 Octa, but since the Snapdragon S800 is scheduled to be included in the devices in the third / fourth quarter, the S600 will probably be used in the U.S.

The screen of the Galaxy S4 is also a Full HD Super AMOLED screen, which means it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 441ppi more.

If you used a Samsung Galaxy S3 already, S4 Galaxy will be second nature to you, even if the screen is slightly larger, brighter, and thinner but the overall weight is lighter than the Galaxy S3. There is an infrared transmitter. The S4 has a polycarbonate casing that provides a cool look to the device, although it was hoped that Samsung would finally introduced a new Galaxy S device without the plastic case.
For the moment, we could not run the benchmarks and confirm performance figures, but here's what we felt when we used the Smartphone.


Navigate through apps at a normal pace and a look that would be considered "extreme" when the S4 manages everything that I balance. The shutter speed of the camera, which is a problem on some Android devices, is extremely fast and there is not any lag, even when using one of the new functionality.
When we launched the application, there was a slight delay from when we again press the icon of the app to the application that loads. Browsing the web, on the other hand, was a bit slow, but we guess it was mainly due to network connectivity issues. When web pages are loaded, scrolling through an article was fast.
Samsung has relied heavily on the APN. It is certain - it can take 13 megapixel photos and record videos at 1080p, but this is only the beginning, because Samsung has jousted many other things. Firstly, the company has made its user interface to the APNs Galaxy S4, given the praise that Samsung has received. We also like the camera app Google Android 4.2 by default, including the function photosphere (360 degree).


They also made improvements and adjustments, such as adjusting Shot Dual / Dual Recording. In DS / DR, you can take a photo and include yourself in the picture as a floating head in the picture. You can spice up your image with templates (models), such as a stamp, heart-shaped or fisheye to name a few. There are many other settings that will allow you to delete photo bombers (those people who pass in front of goal and spoil the photo) in a photo Eraser, and can create animated GIFs in Cinema mode where a person is immobile while the background is in motion, and a mode where you can take several pictures to include in a single photo, shot called Drama.

With the Samsung Galaxy S4 you can communicate with everyone, anywhere. Translator Galaxy S4 allows you to communicate with people who do not speak your native language (10 languages are supported by the time of launch. The Translator is integrated into a number of communications programs such as its Galaxy S4 email client, kitten and messaging. We have already seen something similar like this with Docomo translator, and this is the kind of tool that makes a big difference in real life.

Kitten is the video chat program that allows you to S4 chat with other users via S4 3-way video calls, video calls, two, and can even share a screen device with another user. The last function that facilitates the communication of the Galaxy S4 Easier is the function Group Play, which allows owners of Galaxy S4 to play against each other using Wi-Fi Direct can initiate a connection via NFC, or you can simply connect to other devices via Wi-Fi S4
