Samsung announced the GALAXY S 4 smartphone, offering the world’s first Full HD Super AMOLED display. Its 5-inch large screen has 441ppi for stunning viewing quality, while Corning’s new Gorilla Glass 3 makes it a durable travel companion.
The new S 4 improves upon the S III with a larger screen size and battery, minimized bezel; all housed in a light (130g) and slim (7.9mm) shape. The Samsung GALAXY S 4 is slimmer yet stronger, with less to hold yet more to see.
The GALAXY S 4 supports HSPA+42 Mbps and 4G LTE which means wherever you are in the world, you can rely on perfect connectivity. Especially, the LTE version supports up to 6 different band sets which allows it to function in most LTE coverage areas as well as enabling global LTE roaming. Furthermore, TDD/FDD LTE Dual Mode version will be introduced later this year.

Equipped with a 13 megapixel rear camera, the GALAXY S 4 lets users choose from a variety of frame effects which blend the two pictures naturally and also adjust the size of the small picture inside the big one. Users can select 8 different ways to combine the two photos taken by the front camera and the rear camera. In addition, 12 outstanding shooting modes provide versatility. The GALAXY S 4 ensures that tasks are effortless with innovative features that detect your face, voice and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation.
