Following numerous leaked photos and video, Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S 4.

The beauty of the phone is the highly crafted design encompassing a larger screen size and battery, minimized bezel; all housed in a light (130g) and slim (7.9mm) shape. The Samsung GALAXY S 4 is slimmer yet stronger, with less to hold yet more to see. It has come up with simply unreal beauty. At launch, two color options will be available - Black Mist and White Frost; with a variety of additional color options to follow later this year.

Meaningful Moments - Gives Greater Enjoyment
A rich life is one that’s filled with meaningful moments and the GALAXY S 4 captures and shares those special moments. The GALAXY S 4 has the world’s first Full HD Super AMOLED display to showcase images at their very best. Its 5-inch large screen has 441ppi for stunning viewing quality. The Samsung GALAXY S 4 also utilizes Corning’s new Gorilla® Glass 3*, making it a durable travel companion for all of life’s adventures.

Equipped with a 13 megapixel rear camera, the GALAXY S 4 also boasts a ‘Dual Camera’function that allows simultaneous use of both front and rear cameras. When capturing moments, users can choose from a variety of frame effects which blend the two pictures naturally and also adjust the size of the small picture inside the big one. Users can select 8 different ways to combine the two photos taken by the front camera and the rear camera. At the same time, the ‘Dual Video Call’ function enables you to make and receive a video call with friends and family while showing what you are looking at during the call.

The camera functionality extends beyond Dual Camera, as the device is also equipped with 12 outstanding shooting modes including ‘Drama Shot’, which allows you to see all the action in one continuous time-lapse, and ‘Sound & Shot’, which uniquely stores sound and voice together as the picture is taken so those special moments are captured in the truest form imaginable, exactly as they happened.

These meaningful moments can also now automatically be stored in a photo album, with the new ‘Story Album’ function. Photos taken by the GALAXY S 4 are automatically gathered and sorted out according to your timeline, geo-tagging information, or a specific event to create a photo album. These unique story albums can be ordered and delivered as an offline photo album through a new partnership with Blurb*, so you can keep those precious moments safe to look at and share time and time again.

True Connections – Brings People Together
Samsung GALAXY S 4 enables true connections with the people in our lives. It is more than a personal device that can be enjoyed by one user - it makes the most of our relationships allowing us to easily share and experience many of life’s pleasures together with family and friends, wherever you are.

With its ‘Group Play’ function, users can enjoy music, photos, documents and games with those around them without even requiring a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal. This innovative feature enables users to connect directly with others to share, play and co-create content and entertainment instantly. Its ‘Share Music’ option allows users to have the same song playing on multiple phones in sync to create the best party atmosphere.

The GALAXY S 4 brings all people closer together by breaking down language barriers. It makes international travel a joy, with ‘S Translator’ which provides instant translation, using text or voice translation on applications including email, text message and ChatON. This instant translation is possible both from speech to text and text to speech and ensures that you can rely on the correct information whilst abroad.

The GALAXY S 4 supports HSPA+42 Mbps and 4G LTE which means wherever you are in the world, you can rely on perfect connectivity. Especially, the LTE version supports up to 6 different band sets which allows it to function in most LTE coverage areas as well as enabling global LTE roaming. Furthermore, TDD/FDD LTE Dual Mode version will be introduced later this year.

Effortless Experience - Makes Things More Convenient
In today’s world, we are all looking for smart ways to make life easier and less stressful. The GALAXY S 4 ensures that tasks are effortless with innovative features that detect your face, voice and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation.

‘Samsung Smart Pause’ enables you to control the screen by where you look. When you are watching a video, the video pauses when you look away then it starts right up again when you are back. ‘Samsung Smart Scroll’ allows you to scroll the browser or emails up and down without touching the screen. It recognizes your face looking at the screen and movement of your wrist and then scroll the pages up or down accordingly.

‘Air View’ allows users to hover with their fingers to preview the content of an email, S Planner, image gallery or video without having to open it. You can even see a magnified view on the internet browser, or a phone number saved in the speed dial on the keypad. With ‘Air Gesture’, you can change the music track, scroll up and down a web page, or accept a call with a wave of your hand.

With ‘S Voice™ Drive’ you can activate commands via voice control for optimization when driving. Once connected with a car Bluetooth, the phone automatically turns into driving mode converting text to speech so you can easily and safely check messages with no need to look at the screen.

‘Samsung Optical Reader’ makes life yet more effortless, by automatically recognizing text, a business card or QR code information, and providing useful functions such as translation, call, text message and search.

At home, using ‘Samsung WatchON’, the GALAXY S 4 will transform into an IR remote to control your home entertainment system including TV, set-top box, DVD player and even air conditioner. In addition, you can enjoy various content including live TV, cable TV and VOD based on the rich information provided by EPG (Electronic Program Guide).

Empowered Living - Takes Care Of Your Health and Quality of Life
The GALAXY S 4 empowers your life by keeping you up-to-date with health and wellbeing information using the new ‘S Health’ software. The combination of sensors built within the device systematically and automatically monitors your health, surroundings and so much more to help improve your quality of life. Also, users can easily check their health conditions using food diary, exercise diary and sleep monitor to stay fit and healthy. (Certain functions are enabled by specific accessories.)

To further protect your wellbeing, ‘Samsung Adapt Display’ provides an optimal viewing experience, customized for each type of application, and ‘Samsung Adapt Sound’ offers an optimal level and type of sound, personalized for each user, to make the most out of life.

It kills me how Apple fans are bashing this phone because it looks the same as its predecessor. Why not look at the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, and probably the upcoming 5S? I don't know what you see with *your* eyes, but to me, they all look like virtually the same phone. So I don't know what you Apple fans are trying to pick at. Your argument falls apart because, according to you, it's alright when Apple uses the same overall design, but not when another company does it. Give me a break.

Ya it is alright because it's made out of materials that feel nice and look nice. Not a pile of plastic that's made to look like brushed aluminum. I'm sorry but if we didn't look at the operating systems of either, apple will win every time.

The GS3 is capable of doing 99% of what this phone can do, and it still looks the exact same! What a worthless release. They've had a good ride for the past couple of years. It's going to go down hill from here. Especially when they try to drop their own OS Tizen.

Beautiful phone. I wish iPhone would make something this size. Nice fun new features. I'm still keeping my iPhone though. There's nothing like my iPhone and I'm sure Apple is perfecting these features before releasing them of course. They release near perfection. Truly the S4 is a beautiful phone though. Of only the rest of it could catch up. Oh wait, then it would be an iPhone.

They can make the screen 10" and it will still be a cheaply made pos with terrible battery life and non optimized software. Brute power can never compete with an OS that is optimized for a specific phones hardware.

They need to upgrade the hardware to give Apple a real run for their money. Until then iPhone 5 > S4.

Once you come close to perfection it is difficult to amaze people with a new Phone. Apple came close to perfection by the first iphone. Therefore was difficult to surprise people afterwards. Samsung tried to come close to perfection with S3 From now on they will never surprise people again

Samsung if not for Google you'll still be selling crappy phones. What if Google stopped developing android? I guess that will be your end and Apple can still create new stuffs.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Goodbye Apple after 5 iPhones. Thanks Samsung! Apple why did you sue Samsung? Was it because you did not want me to have the S4 Apple? Apple you have lost me forever as a customer. Thanks again Samsung for true next generation technology.

People also have the right to complain...in America. I would say that this being a APPLE FAN site...that the APPLE FANS have every right to complain. Just sayin.

JGin - March 15, 2013 at 4:05am
Can someone please tell me what good, what POSSIBLE good (other than to say "oh ya...well my phone does THIS"), or useful functionality the Air Hover "feature" can provide ?? Seriously though, not trying to bash you Samsungs out there, I just can't see how this could be useful...seems like it would be more frustrating than anything. We all know dragging the time bar in a video can already be difficult to get to the frame you want...now Samsung wants you to do it with no hands!?
JGin
JGin - March 15, 2013 at 4:11am
And the same thing goes for the your video stopping if you...god forbid....LOOK AWAY for a second feature! Watching a video on this phone sounds like a challenge!..."Don't touch the screen...and don't you dare look away from the screen. Thank you...Enjoy your video."

I bet you'd find all those features useful if they were on the iphone.
