The Galaxy S4 has scarcely managed two days in the limelight, and already Apple has chimed in with the customary new web page offering a bunch of subtly-conveyed reasons why Android sucks, and why the iPhone 5 is much better and you should buy it. As childish an assessment as that may sound, we're used to seeing just how the biggest battle in tech frequently devolves into playground-like tit-for-tat, and with Apple and the iPhone 5 feeling decidedly left-out over the past 48 hours, it was never going to be long before the Android community was treated to some kind of backlash.
Following on from its recent announcement of the Galaxy S4, Samsung has released a four-minute video showing off its new creation in a more condensed format than its considerably longer, and much more bizarre unveiling event.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is finally here, and having already compared the device against the HTC One and iPhone 5, we're back with another face-off. This time, the new handset will be pitting its wits against two devices which have been presented with the mammoth task of rejuvenating the fortunes of two once-mighty brands in the mobile industry. Both Nokia and BlackBerry have enjoyed vast successes over the past decade, but as both have struggled in the wake of iOS and Android, the Nokia Lumia 920 on Windows Phone 8, and the BlackBerry Z10 on the BB10 OS, have some real ground to make up if they are to compete with the Galaxy S4. Here, we compare them with yet another like-for-like table of the vital specifications.
Ever thought the Galaxy Note II's 5.5-inch screen is just a little too cramped, or maybe small for that matter? You may be in luck, especially if you've got hands the size of bigfoot!
Yesterday, many technology enthusiasts across the world spent the evening (or otherwise the early hours of their mornings) watching Samsung show off the new Galaxy S4 smartphone at its event in New York. While many have already made up their minds and will order the new phone, Samsung is being kind enough not to leave Galaxy S III users out in the cold: indeed, according to a Samsung spokesman, many of the software features on the new device will be pushed to the Galaxy S III in the very near future, as part of an Android software update.
With Samsung having finally just announced its latest flagship effort, the Galaxy S4, it’s inevitable that the comparisons will immediately be drawn between it and some of the other high-end handsets currently gracing the market. Although the iPhone 5 naturally springs to mind, a rivaling vendor, HTC, also finally looks to have delivered a respectable contender to market with the One device.
With just hours to go until the unveiling of the Galaxy S IV from Samsung, the leaks and speculation are naturally rife. While one source has today presented the world with some high-resolution images purportedly depicting the handset, we’ve also got some interesting specs and a video demonstration of the so-called ‘floating touch’ and ‘smart touch’ features to mull over.
Tomorrow, Samsung will finally get out of its way to announce the Galaxy S IV, a major upgrade to its flagship smartphone. Speculation has been great over the coming weeks, enough to fuel interest from third-party accessory manufacturers. One day ahead of the smartphone’s official announcement, a set of cases specifically designed for the Samsung Galaxy S IV have leaked onto the web, embodying many design cues that are expected to make their way onto the look and feel of the new smartphone.
Although Samsung's attention is being well and truly guided toward the imminent Unpacked event that will see the announcement of the Galaxy S IV, but that hasn’t caused the South Korean company to forget about their current flagship, the Galaxy S III.
With Samsung set to announce its Galaxy S IV in around 48 hours, a lot of the talk around the web right now is about the expected feature which allows the device to track a user's eye movements.
