Samsung Galaxy S4 Review

Samsung Galaxy S4

 Samsung Galaxy S4 

So heres a review on Samsungs S4,a new phone in Galaxy series which was launched in April,2013.Samsung introduced some new features with the launch of this phone.Phone was launched after Galaxy S3 and improved a lot of new things such as this phone can be charged wirelessely and had more better everything,Though this is better then that but S3 is cheaper and also does good.Phone is now priced at 31000 INR.Samsung has now introduced Galaxy S5 in market which is now there flagship phone.Still,buying S4 can also be a good option.Advantage of owning a Galaxy is that they are launched with great chipset which arent even used by other brands at there time of release.But,biggest disadvantage of using there phone is that,all of them look just the same,So if you buy a Galaxy for flaunting, people might not be able to differentiate that if this is a S4 or a core.Samsung should now try some new designs now.

Our Review 

Samsung has used cheap plastic which doesnt feels good.Phone looks good but could have been lot better if had a good back cover and metal body.Phone doesnt feels solid in hand but looks very smart when in hand.It has a 5.0 inches Super AMOLED capacitve display.AMOLED is Active-Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode which is better at switching pixel faster better then OLED used in phones.Phone has a really good display which works fine in sunlight too,but when brightness is full the battery backup reduces in a large amount and on a faster rate.Coming to the processor,phone runs on Android Jelly Bean but can be upgraded to Kit-Kat and is also planned to be upgraded to Android L.Has Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset,Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and  PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU.Phone is brilliant in handling every game and has a great speed has 2GB RAM.Samsung is really good in choosing the right processor for the right phone.They no there job very good.This phone has also been a great seller no doubts.Phone lags a little when phone goes older,actually phone only lags a little when opening camera,phone doesnt overheats very soon.Phone has a 13 megapixel camera with a new feature known as dual shot,with this option you can click a picture with both the camera shooting simultaneously.Samsung introduced Air Gestures in this phone.You can operate your phone with simple gestures which makes phone easier  to operate and phone has also a feature to adapt.Phone smartly adapts the display according to your eye so that your eyes be comfortable while using this phone.Phone can also adapt sounds according to the need of the user.Buying this phone can still be a good option so you can go for it.
