Samsung did not give the characteristic design of the Galaxy line, which last year launched the S III. Such aesthetics probably not suitable for each taste. People who liked the previous model Galaxy – will definitely be satisfied. Lovers of unusual solutions can direct gaze to a competitor – especially Sony and HTC.
Galaxy S 4 shows, however, better than its predecessor. This is due to less oval shape and matte frame surrounding the screen. The display tightly fills the front panel, which can grow to 5 inches without extending across the cover – it measures 136.6 mm, which is exactly the same as in the case of S III. Other changes are purely cosmetic and have no significance. Last year’s design was criticized for careless workmanship. It is not surprising that fans of mobile solutions have been waiting for something more permanent, more appropriate to the status and price of the device. Samsung, however, once again opted for plastic. It’s a shame.
Model S 4 is thankfully compact and seems sturdy, although the stronger the pressure happens to spend a quiet creak. Would feel, however, that the strength 2 -2.5 years of use. And for the manufacturer, it is important that the plastic parts can be produced quickly. A little disappointed that S 4 is not less expensive than metal and glass HTC One Sony Xperia Z
Screen
screen Samsung’s flagship model has grown again – this time from 4.7 to 5 inches. It uses Super AMOLED technology-and Full HD – 1080 to 1920 pixels. This – due to the characteristic of AMOLED s color reproduction – offers very juicy and bright image, which does not appeal to everyone. The screen responds well to the touch. It should also be very resistant to scratches, because it is protected by a glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3 It can also operate in gloves, or as in the case Lumii 920

Snapdragon and Exynos – both units will cope well with the applications and video recording and playback in high quality. In this respect, it does not matter which version you choose. But even the most powerful components are not able to eliminate the small lag – so typical for Android. The Galaxy S 4 occurred when opening or closing the application home button.
camera, battery and connectivity

Galaxy S is running Android version 4.4.2. There we have, therefore, all solutions offered by Google and a whole range of new products by Samsung. These are part of the TouchWiz overlay, which completely changes the creative and sober Android interface.
Before discussing the most important news is worth briefly mentioning the characteristics of that overlay. Samsung gives you extensive options for configuring the lock screen and the notification bar, which is full of settings. Works great solution is to use two applications at the same time – that way you can for example, watch a movie on the background of your web browser. There are also features adapted from previous TouchWiz, such as the connection by bringing your ear with an open contact.
Samsung advertises your phone as a “Companion of life.” That companion care about our health, controlled workouts, diet, etc. The “Companion gait” measures up our steps, and by the way inform about the number of calories burned.
Howevermost interesting solutions use the front camera , and it comes with:
Air View / Air Gesture – This service phone without touching the screen – allows you to view photos in the gallery or scroll through web pages by appropriate gestures directly on the display surface. The solution seems to be interesting, but it requires a lot of precision. You can not swing casually – you have to do it at the right speed and at the correct height. If you are viewing this picture seems exam, but in the context of the web has definitely not.
Samsung Smart Pause will stop playing the video, we stop to look at the screen. This solution will work if two conditions are met – the phone will lie perfectly still (on the table – holding in his hands fall off), and the room is bright.
Smart Scroll to scroll through web pages (and emails) by tilting the phone or head movements. It works, however, on similar terms as the Air Gesture – head movements can not be careless. They require precision and stare at the screen until appears on the symbol tracking our movements. The solution is very uncomfortable – much easier to slide your finger across the screen than wait for the mercy of the device and sway to the head. Sometimes crazy browser and scroll down to the bottom – you can not stop.

hard to resist the impression that these solutions are only partly a marketing ploy. For the average user are in fact something new, fresh and attractive. But after a moment of fun, we realize that we will not use them, they do not act as if they wanted to, and in addition consume valuable energy reserves.
Summary
Samsung Galaxy S 4 is a very attractive package – slender, equipped with the best components and ridden interesting solutions. It is an improved version of last year’s hit, but it is not as big leap in technology and quality we expected. In summary, you must remember one statement – the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and HTC One is currently the two fastest and best Android smartphones in the world.
