How will it be with Apple (AAPL)
The next iPhone or Google (GOOG)
The future Nexus flagship phone remains to be seen.
But after playing the Galaxy s iv for a few minutes, it's easy to see how the smartphone ended up in the same conversation.
Here is everything you need to know.
Five organs: Galaxy IV sports five-
Very High Resolution inch screen.
The 1920x1080 pixel display is as good as what you find now on any smartphone (
HTC, LG and Sony (SNE)
There are similar displays. .
But I don't feel much.
The border of the Galaxy s iv takes up so little space that the smartphone is not much larger than its predecessor 4. 8-
Galaxy s iii.
The quality and design of the Galaxy s iv is definitely one step higher than its plastic predecessor.
But it's still not at the same level as HTC One.
However, one of the benefits of the Galaxy s iv plastic housing is that it allows the phone to be lighter.
Samsung's new device, weighing 130g, is lighter than many smaller Android phones.

Larger 2600 battery (
From 2100 hours)
, You can choose a storage space of 16 gb, 32 gb, or 64 gb.
It also supports micro
SD removable storage.
The biggest mystery, however, remains the processor.
This is the most important part of all smartphones and Samsung is keeping silent.
Software: A big advantage is that the Galaxy s iv will be released with the latest version of Android, called jelly beans.
But many of the design benefits that Google's excellent Jelly Bean operating system brings will be ignored.
Samsung continues to post a custom "Touch Wiz" UI on it that has the habit of making Samsung smartphones look like toys --like.
However, navigating in the user interface is a way to respond quickly.
Related reports: Samsung's goal is BlackBerry and Knox. Samsung relies heavily on software skills to distinguish itself from other smartphones.
For example, when watching a video, you can set the phone to detect while away from the screen, and it automatically pauses the clip.
It starts again when you look back at the screen.
This function is very easy to use.
Galaxy s iv also borrowed a page from Samsung's Note series tablet to allow users to interact with the phone without touching the phone.
With the "Airview" feature, you can hover your finger over a variety of on-
Screen elements in the app, such as messages, mail, or media aggregator app Flipboard, will allow you to quickly view messages or read a preview of the story without entering a new screen.
Samsung has also introduced gesture controls that allow you to fluctuate left and right, up and down, navigate and scroll in web pages and other text --Document based.
But even in the few minutes I spent with the Galaxy S IV, it felt like a more troublesome gimmick than the resources.
And, of course, eyes-
There are already many scrolling functions. buzzed about.
But not eyes-
Finger Tracking
Free technology that leisure futurists hope.
Instead, the phone can detect when you focus your eyes on the screen, and then it will allow you to tilt your phone up and down to scroll.
It does work, but this feature is more efficient (
Or any other supplement)
The navigation remains to be seen.
Camera: Samsung has also put a lot of focus into its camera.
The company took away the interface from the Galaxy smart camera and added a series of smart shooting modes, adding some fun and features to the Galaxy s iv.
Like some other devices, such as the Nokia Lumia 920, the Galaxy s iv already has the ability to make movies.

Perhaps the most useful new feature is the Eraser Mode, which can take five photos at a time, and if someone moves in the lens it shouldn't be there, you can get 86 out with one tap.
When you are on holiday in a busy area, this is the type of feature you can appreciate.
Everything else: the Galaxy s iv also has many features that appeal to many users.
There's a camera-
A translation-based translator that will take the text from the printed document and translate it into a digital format that you can archive on your phone.
There is a built-in pedometer that you can do if you are eager to control the TV with your phone.
Galaxy s iv will also be automatic

For example, it can know that you are watching a movie and will set yourself up automatically to make the conversation clear.
Or it may know that you are reading outdoors and will adjust the brightness and sharpness to avoid attacks on your eyes from the retina.
Samsung accessories are also cool.

In the long run, this is a feature that saves the battery and allows you to not have to turn the screen on and off.

Mobile and Verizon (VZ)
