This smartphone has so many features in it but some do not know what they are for. Most features are not as useful as first thought. While we can live without every feature included in it, we must admit that this device is a step ahead of its predecessor.
A complaint made about this is the plastic chassis. Compared with its rivals Apple and HTC, the Galaxy S4 looks more industrial and definitely falls short. This problem has been present through the series of smartphones, despite their effort for making the S4 with more refined touch. It is hard to see the difference between the S3 and S4. The latest smartphone is only a 0.7-ounce lighter and 0.7mm thinner.
On paper, the Galaxy S4 screen has 441ppi which is more than the iPhone 5's 321ppi and a bit less than the HTC One's 468ppi display. The eyes don't catch ppi because it only sees that the image looks sharp and clean.
When you take pictures outside it is really hard to see the image until you go inside. With the Nokia Lumia 920, you will see that it performs better. However, Samsung has placed a sensitivity feature on its screen. It's simply amazing because you can navigate even with your gloves on.
Android 4.2.2 is great fit for this Touch Wiz interface. Samsung gives improved experience which is far ahead of the competition that uses the same interface. Everything is just on a tap away. Searching and toggling settings has never been easier.
On this smartphone, there are plenty of pre-installed apps to get you started. Many features are included in this smartphone but some didn't perform well under our command. I was really excited about the eye-tracking gestures like Smart Scroll and Smart Pause but on trying this, I concluded that there are simpler ways to scroll text while reading. Smart Pause is a great addition because it showed better responsiveness than the Smart Scroll. Some analysts have said that the sensors were causing some problems during trying these features.
There is also the camera features. Samsung has put its' effort into making the camera perfect. This smartphone is equipped with a 13-mpix camera with many new features attached to it. When you open the camera app, you see the dual-shot mode. I'm using it all the time because when you are shooting a portrait with the back camera, you can be in it using the front-facing camera. There is the Drama mode, Erase mode that I didn't find as useful, Sound and Shot is used for sending audio greetings card to someone. I'm using the dual-shot mode because it's awesome and the best mode a camera can have.
I have heard complaints that if you use them all simultaneously the battery will drain really fast.
It's up to you to decide if you are going to use the full advantage of this smartphone.
Having a new smartphone is great, if you have done your homework and read some reviews, so you are not disappointed with it's features. To keep up to date on smartphones an other technology products please visit http://www.onlinegadgetstore.com
