Many new things are being introduced to this globe from it’s release. Size and shape of the device is almost similar to Galaxy S3 but S4 looks petty good when compared with S3 and iPhone 5.

The most important factor for any kind of gadget is it’s shape and design. The first thing a customer look in the product is the Look and style.

One more important thing is smartphone is Camera. These day people took Facebook very seriously, even me and they always aim to upload each and every moment of their life, no matter happy or sad moments. To complete this task they need a good camera that captures their steps, As it is bit hard to carry a DSLR camera everywhere, almost everyone prefer to capture using their mobiles. So, while paying for costly mobiles, Users concentrate on Camera as well, if you’re one among them, then it won’t make any issue for you. Samsung Galaxy S4 has 13 Megapixels camera with Auto Focus, Touch Focus, Geo-Tagging, Smile detection, Face detection and image stabilization.

Smart Pause
With the invention of Smartphones, Man becomes lazier. I bet Samsung Galaxy S4 will make the people even lazier. Do you know why? Samsung introduced Smart scroll and Smart Pause with S4. It can detect your eye moments and intelligently pause the video, when your eye get off from the screen. Crazy right?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Review
Overall, Mobile is petty good and quite enough to fit perfectly in the pocket. 5 Inch is not a big size and can be handled easily but with difficulties. Camera is also too good and enough to capture casual pics. Samsung galaxy S4 has latest Android Operating system and i’m sure it will get official updates As soon as update is released. 2GB RAM is enough for smooth performing of the device but i doubt what would happen, if you use 64 GB micro SD card. I think this time Samsung worked their best to improve battery performance as well.
Price is bit expensive but it may come down after the firs month of release. It is estimated that device costs around $800 to $900. However Pre-order costs even more.

I’m impressed:
1. It looks nicer than the S3 for sure
2. The hardware specs are gorgeous (even if 8 cores is pointless)
3. I love the fact it’s got a bigger screen but the actual phone is no larger, this was a definite worry.
4. Removable battery – YES! YES! YES!
5. MicroSD – YES! YES! YES!
I just need to know now how well the battery holds up.
I suspect it will trounce the HTC One, meaning I will finally be upgrading my ageing HTC Sensation (bought May 2012).
