GALAXY
S 4 gets you closer to what matters in life, bringing
your world together
New
York, USA, March 14, 2013 — Samsung Electronics
announced today the fourth generation GALAXY S, the GALAXY S 4,
designed to get you closer to what matters in life and bring your
world together.
Understanding
what matters most to us in our lives, the Samsung GALAXY S 4 was
developed to redefine the way we live and to maximize our fulfillment
of life. This sleek and innovative smartphone makes every moment of
life very meaningful; it understands the value of relationships,
enabling true connections with friends and family. It believes in
the importance of an effortless user experience, making your life
easy and hassle-free; and, it empowers your life, helping take care
of your well-being.
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.
JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung.
“With
the GALAXY S 4, Samsung is again going to enhance the way we live,”
said JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications
Division at Samsung. “All the innovative features of GALAXY S 4
were developed based on the insights and needs we found from our
consumers all around the world. Following the successful GALAXY S
series, this phone is yet another great proof point of
people-inspired innovation. At Samsung we’ll never stop pursuing
innovation conceived by people, so we can inspire them in return.”
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 VoiceTM 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.
