Samsung Galaxy S4 : Era of Powerful Mobile Processors – Phone

 

 

Even though I have been in industry for over two decades and can claim to be very familiar with technology, I still keep getting amazed by new innovations in semiconductor, communication & mobile technologies. Yesterday Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S4 phone. This phone comes with several exciting cool features. In case you haven’t yet seen this phone, here is a list of some of the cool features

1. Dual camera -  13 mega pixel front camera with tons of cool camera applications.
2. Language translator – A very useful feature that translates voice and text on the fly
3. Smart pause/smart scroll – Another great innovation – this enhancement of Galaxy S III’s Smart Stay feature senses when you look at the screen or away from it, automatically scrolling pages up or down, and pausing and resuming videos.
4. Smart watchON – That makes your phone a remote for other gadgets in your home
5. Air view/Air Gesture – A great usability feature that lets you control your phone by hand gestures without actually touching it. With hand gestures you can accept or reject calls, browse web and photos and do several other tasks
6. Temperature and humidity sensors – These new sensors nicely complement “S Health” application that come with Galaxy S4

Quality and variety of features in Samsung Galaxy S4’s bundled application  are now rivaling and even exceeding those coming with Apple’s products. It will be interesting to see next product from Apple. As of now I plan to buy Samsung Galaxy S4.

 

PS: I have not yet mentioned the stuff that is most exciting to me. This exciting stuff is Exynos 5 Octa processor that powers this baby. I will write more about that processor in another blog.
