Only three days separate us from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in Spain. It will be next Saturday, April 27, when the new flagship of the South Korean firm lands on the shelves of our country. By then, interested users will be able to see first-hand the many virtues that this smartphone with Android 4.2 holds. Since it was presented on March 15, we have known many of its strengths. Today, as we face the final stretch until its launch, we will highlight ten of the ten best reasons why it can be very interesting to get the Samsung Galaxy S4.
1. A remote control on the mobile
It is curious that some manufacturers have returned to pay attention to the infrared communication port, something that we have not seen in a mobile for many years. The Samsung Galaxy S4 incorporates this wireless sensor. But not only that. In addition, thanks to the WatchOn application, the user of this mobile can program their phone so that it serves as a controller for many of the devices that they have at home, be it the television, the air conditioning or the stereo that we have in the house. living room.
2. Our exercise partner
Yes, we already know. The fact of making the Samsung Galaxy S4 a remote control implies that we can lean on the sofa, causing the exponential growth of our butt to go beyond what is desirable. To avoid this, this mobile integrates a series of solutions designed to make exercising a real attraction. We are talking about the S Health application suite, a set of solutions that encourage us to do sports and to correctly measure our progress. Also, to get the most out of S Health, the Samsung Galaxy S4 You will have at your disposal a series of official accessories that range from the classic bracelets to comfortably carry the mobile with us when we go for a run to a scale that communicates with the phone to take note of how we evolve in our healthy habits.
3. Size matters
The Samsung Galaxy S4 bets on a five-inch screen with FullHD resolution. Other teams also develop this size. However, the proportions with which the South Korean has conceived this standard have been executed in such a way that its larger size compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3 is barely perceptible. And in fact, it has managed to design the new team with a really thin thickness of only 7.9 millimeters, in line with its width and length, makes the Samsung Galaxy S4 one of the sleeker terminals market.
4. The trunk of memories
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a function that allows us to store memories in the form of photos and videos. Granted, any smartphone offers the possibility of saving image captures and sequences, but in the case of the mobile in question, the proposal goes one step further with Story Album, which is neither more nor less than a content organizer allows access to photo or film records following calendar criteria or using geolocation data. Thus, it would not be necessary to go through the entire gallery of images to find the memories of that trip we made last winter: it would be enough to go to the file that Story Album would automatically create for this purpose.
5. Two better than one
The power of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is manifested in the multimedia section with Dual Camera. This function allows us to simultaneously use the two sensors installed by this terminal. Recall that the main camera of the Samsung Galaxy S4 develops a resolution of megapixel thirteen, while the secondary unit reaches two megapixels. With Dual Camera, both would work at the same time, both to take photos and videos, resulting in a frame that mounts the images captured with the two sensors using a multitude of templates and settings.
6. Gift of tongues
One of the most interesting points in the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S4 was precisely the S Translator function. We are talking about the translator that allows us to know words and expressions by crossing about ten languages, both in voice messages and through written expressions. This would be very useful to us precisely during the trips that, later, we could remember with the Story Album function already described.
7. The perfect co-pilot
Not only for translation, the talkative and listener potential of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be especially interesting . In addition, the intelligent functions of the device in terms of voice options will also be an incentive for the user when he is behind the wheel of his car. All you have to do is rely on the capabilities of the S Voice Drive. We refer to an assistant that goes one step further than what was seen with S Voice. Now, not only can we manage the operation of the mobile with our voice, but the Samsung Galaxy S4 itself will be in charge of transcribing the messages and emails it receives so that we do not displace our eyes from the race.
8. Messaging according to Samsung
The South Korean firm continues to bet on its instant messaging client, ChatON. It is true that at the moment WhatsApp and LINE focus the attention of this market. However, it is also true that both services present erratic operation on more occasions than is desirable, and given that one out of every three smartphones sold is signed by Samsung, the alternative proposed by this manufacturer may be the most interesting for its users " ”Especially knowing that the level of integration of ChaON in the Samsung Galaxy S4 is much more powerful than the one that we verify with the mentioned applications.
9. Great ”” and supportive ”” multimedia possibilities
Samsung long ago decided to distinguish itself by the multimedia potential of its high-end devices. With the Samsung Galaxy S4, there will be practically no video, audio or image format that resists playback. In addition, the integrated sound outputs have been significantly improved, and the viewing quality from its screen is the best that we can find at this time. But as if that were not enough, with Group Play we can make our Samsung Galaxy S4 synchronize in a few steps with the Samsung Galaxy S4 of other friends who are close to us so that we can reproduce our multimedia content, so that all the terminals involved can enjoy them at unison.
10. Look at yourself, but don't touch
With the Samsung Galaxy S3, some of the system control functions that did not require interaction through contact with the phone were already anticipated. But with the Samsung Galaxy S4 we go a step further, to the point that with Air Gesture we can make selections or previews by placing our finger on the screen without even touching it. We can also control the video player with our eyes thanks to Air View, a function that identifies when we stop observing the screen while a movie or other type of sequence is shown, so that it stops until we return our eyes to it. panel.
