Samsung went all out on it’s event to announce the Galaxy S4 handset, showing off all its new features in ways that only Samsung could. Meaning it was kind of quirky and weird yet business-like at the same time. Basically, it was your typical press conference in between tap dancers, actors, musicians, and movies. Even if you watched the live stream, some of the information you wanted may have been lost in the performance – unless you process things better when it’s delivered by guys miming backpacking in foreign cities. So here’s all the information you need to know about the Galaxy S4, in layman’s terms.
(Be sure to check out our GS4 spec comparisons including the Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5, Galaxy S4 vs. Galaxy S3, and Galaxy S4 vs HTC One. We’ve also got a full Galaxy S4 hands on with videos and pics galore.)
Specs
The first thing most people turn to when they’re scoping out a new phone is the spec list. A glance at the details on the Galaxy S 4 are sure to impress. The phone weighs in at 130g, thanks in part to it’s trimming down to just 7.9mm of thickness. It’s surrounded by a polycarbonate case. Despite the slim physique, there’s plenty packed inside the device. A Snapdragon S4 Pro, 1.9GHz processor, the newest offering from Qualcomm, will lend its power to the device. It along with 2GB of RAM will run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Storage will vary between16GB, 32GB or 64GB and can be expanded with the microSD card slot. All of this will be kept alive by a 2600mAh battery.
Display
As usual, the display on this Samsung device is, well, on display. It’s an impressive 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED screen, which Samsung claims is the first of its kind. Packed into those 5 inches is a full 441ppi which considerably trumps the iPhone 5 (326 ppi) and the Galaxy S3 (306ppi). It is also protected with Gorilla Glass 3.
Camera
The camera got a huge makeover on the Galaxy S4, and Samsung made sure to show off as much of it as it could. The front-facing camera sits at 2 megapixels, while the rear-facing camera got a boost up to 13 megapixels. That 13MP number still has some allure even though it’s not the first to hit that plateau, but it’s what the camera can do with those megapixels that really matters.
The camera will have a plethora of unique capture modes, including a feature that allows users to snap 100 shots in a four second span or capture audio in sync with their image captures. Of course, if there’s anything in your pictures that you don’t like, you can take care of them with the new eraser tool that can take out unwanted parts of images.
Despite the eraser tool, there was a big focus on capturing more with the Galaxy S4′s cameras, which is accomplished with the new Duel Camera mode. This allows users to use both cameras on the phone simultaneously. This function plays in when capturing video, now allowing the videographer to be included in the footage, or while on a video call to share what you see.
