Awesome phone, incremental upgrade from SIII

Galaxy S4 is an incredible phone. I have been using this unlocked S4
for past 2 days helping a friend to migrate from iPhone 4S. My friend
has been on iPhone and it also gave me a unique perspective. I used
iPhone for couple of years and been using Android for past 3+ years.
I
have used Galaxy S3, Note II and for me S4 is more like a S3s :) If you
have a Galaxy S3, it is perfect and there is no need to move to S4. The
new features are more like minor upgrades for me. Just like Detroit
rolls out new cars every year, phone manufacturers have found excellent
way to make yearly upgrades.
Battery came for almost a day. The
video playback was crisp and my friend was amazed at the customization
options. It is heaven for a iphone user to come out of shackles and
explores the wonderful world of Android. It sure sounds like it is for
geeks, but Samsung has created lot of ways to simplify and make it less
intimidating. The EASY mode is for one such reason. Samsung's addition
of all those apps (commonly referred as crapware) is not as bad as HTC
or LG. Android experience is classified as pure vanilla in phones like
Nexus. Vendors like Samsung have added a whole lot of extra programs.
5"
HD Super AMOLED 1920 x 1080 display (441 ppi) is just plain gorgeous.
13 MP camera takes ginormous image sizes. I put a 64 GB microSDXC card SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card with SD Adapter - Retail Packaging
as my friend wants to take lot of movies (built-in 2 GB RAM, 16 GB
ROM). No stuttering, and very smooth playback of videos captured in
varying light conditions (HD Playback; HD Recording). Compatible video
types are AVI/DIVX, WMV/ASF, FLV, MKV, MP4/3GP, WEBM. HDR and Panaromic
photos were incredibly sharp. Compatible audio types are: AAC, AMR,
MP3, OGG, WMA/ASF, 3GA/M4A, FLAC, WAV. Google Music, PlayerPro Music
player are producing excellent music. Audio/Video is one section where
S4 has nudged S3. For a normal user, if you are not into lot of video
processing this does not matter.
S4's infrared sensor is the same
technology as TV remote control, so with WatchON you can change the TV
channel from your phone. My friend was shocked to see this feature.
Having used Android for a long time, I explored all new features one by
one. My friend is still getting used to and feels this is too
complicated. I broke down into lot of sub features and told my friend he
may not use 50% of features, but told him to explore one feature at a
time and focus on that.
Games were very buttery, this phones runs
ARM®-based octa-core mobile CPU. This is apparently world's first!
Inside this chip is Imagination Technologies' PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU. I
tried several car racing games and performance was phenomenal. People on
the XDA-Developers forum report seeing smearing and ghosting when
scrolling on the phone. This especially occurs to people when scrolling
among darker colors, which begin showing up as purple. I tried hard to
see if I could on the S4 I was testing with my friend and I could not
see it. I am sure these can be upgraded with software over due course.
Air
View and Air Gestures - are they worth it? Air view is similar to how
the S-pen on the Galaxy Note 8 works. Simply hover finger a few
millimeters above the screen and in supported apps, you'll see a preview
of content. This works with many of Samsung's built-in apps, including
the photo gallery, the dialer, Samsung's browser and email client. It
also works with Flipboard. Air View works by cranking up the capacitive
sensor on the screen. Another new feature is Air Gestures. This uses the
IR sensor on the top of the phone to detect movement by your palm or
finger. One can flip between open tabs in Samsung's browser app, skip to
a new song in the music player and do many other things. I say these
are still in works and sometimes not very efficient.
GPS was spot
on and I tried multiple GPS apps. It was bright outdoors (had to crank
the brightness all the way up). I tried multiple apps to demonstrate to
my friend. In the end, my friend was impressed with what all Android and
in particular S4 had to offer. Smooth and Stunning display!
I tried following apps and they just worked awesome.
