According to company, Samsung Galaxy S4 is designed to get users closer to what matters in life and bring their world together. “This sleek and innovative smartphone makes every moment of life very meaningful. It understands the value of relationships, enabling true connections with friends and family,” the company said. “It believes in the importance of an effortless user experience, making your life easier and hassle-free. And, it enriches your life, helping take care of your well-being.”
The beauty of the phone, according to IMS, is the highly-crafted design encompassing a larger screen size and longer battery power, minimized bezel and a slim shape. The latest offering from Samsung sports a five-inch HD super AMOLED display with improved 1080p resolution, larger than that in the preceding Galaxy S III model. It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Operating System (OS), which has been mated with a 1.6 GHz Octa core or 1.9 GHz quad core processor along with Exynos five Octa 5410 chipset.
As for the memory, the handset comes with a 1GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage which can be expanded up to 64 GB through a micro SD card. Samsung has powered this new device with a 13 mega-pixel rear camera with auto focus and LED flash which can take pictures with a maximum resolution of 4128 x 3096 pixels. It has been backed by a 2 mega-pixel front-facing secondary camera.
Other camera features are dual shot, simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilisation and high dynamic range (HDR) photography.
Other smart features of the device include eye-tracking, gesture capabilities, S Health and S Voice Drive. ‘Smart Stay’ uses the front camera to detect whether users are looking at the screen and turns off the screen automatically if the users are not looking at the screen. And, ‘Smart Scroll’ allows users to scroll by just tilting the device, up or down.
The S Voice Drive application is specially designed for cars and allows drivers to use built-in navigation system as well as make calls, send messages, and check weather updates. In addition to the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, the phone has toggles for call-blocking mode and eye-tracking gestures. It comes with an integrated optical reader that can scan Quick Response (QR) codes, turn business cards into texts, and translate with S Translator.
IMS has said the customers can avail the handset in two colour options — black mist and white frost — and it comes preloaded with Ncell data voucher with 1 GB data per month for three months. The value added insurance offer is now available through Everest Insurance and EMI is available to credit cardholders of Nabil and Laxmi banks. Moreover, the existing owners of genuine Samsung Galaxy SII and Galaxy SIII can upgrade to Galaxy S IV including a free flip cover via the exchange facility at Samsung Premium Brand shop, Sherpa Mall.
On the occasion of the new smartphone’s launch, the IMS Chairman Deepak Malhotra announced the formation of DM Foundation, a philanthropic humanitarian services initiative. The foundation will initially receive Rs 1,000 from the sale of every Galaxy S4 smartphone. In times to come, the funds accumulated with the foundation will be used to provide help and assistance to differently abled, aged and destitute as well as victims of natural disasters.
