Posted on the 15 March 2013 by Anna Peterson

The wait is finally over. It’s been months since it had been announced, and rumors just kept rolling one after another. Last night they became official. Samsung Galaxy S4 was formalized  in New York, and Samsung, as expected, once again proved and established its leading position as the innovator on the smartphone market.

Samsung came out with the specifications and features that we have never seen in a smartphone, including phones that start with the letter i. One thing is certain – Samsung Galaxy S4 is truly a remarkable phone!

Galaxy S4 runs Google’s latest Android software Jellybean, but the Samsung has pushed the limit by bringing a lot more to the innovative software technology. But let’s start from the very beginning, the hardware. This phone has very impressive hardware specifications. It is equipped with a larger screen, a 5 -inch full-HD Super AMOLED, with 1920 × 1080 display at 441 pixels per inch, and comparing to the Apple 5th generation phone, the S4 is larger and with higher resolution. One of the changes is also a faster processor while allowing its users to expand the phone’s storage (internal storage varies from 16 to 64 GB) via microSD card of up to 64GB. And a battery power is simply amazing – 2600 mAh.

The first impression of the software are even more impressive. The phone features 13 – megapixel rear camera. The camera has the ability to include the photographer in the picture. We all have taken thousands of pictures of our family, but usually we are not in most of them. With the S4, you can take a picture and put yourself in the picture as well. There is also an “eraser” – function that takes a series of quick shots and let you remove images of people who walked into your shot.Another fantastic feature is a Multilingual speech recognition. The S4 comes with Samsung S Translator, a tool that allows you to speak a language, while the phone translates it to another person. The phone also has Siri-like voice recognition which outperforms Siri. You can ask it to read your e-mails aloud or ask it to respond to a text message while driving. But wait, that’s not all yet! The next feature is something seen only in Sci-Fi movies, but with the Galaxy S4 it becomes reality- Eye-tracking function. If you watch a video and look away, the video will be paused automatically and resumed the moment you turn your eyes back to the screen. You can also browse by looking up or down and tilting the phone a bit. Indeed, a big step into the future of mobile technology! There are too many smart features that worth mentioning, such as S Health, Air View, temperature and humidity sensors… Needless to say it has all the regular smartphone features: G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB port has MHL and even an infrared port. When it comes to the dimensions, they are 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm, and the phone is weighting only 130 g.

The phone will be available in April worldwide, in two colors: White Frost and Black Mist, but the price hasn’t been set yet. While anticipating the market launch, MyTrendyPhone suggests you to get prepared and purchase some of the accessories for Galaxy S4. Since it can be charged wirelessly, you should get some of the wireless Galaxy S4 chargers, and to protect your new “Life Companion” you will need a high quality cover or case for Galaxy S4.
