According to Vivek Sharma Dhandh, managing director of Virgin Mobile, pre-booking for Samsung Galaxy S4 is opening from Sunday.
IMS Chairman Deepak Malhotra said that the phone will be launched in Nepal on May 5 but customers can place orders for the phone at Virgin Mobile from Sunday.
The Galaxy S4 sports a 5-inch HD super AMOLED display with improved resolution at 1080p which is slightly larger than Galaxy S3 that has 4.8-inch display.
The phone runs on Android 4.2.2 operating system -- the latest version of Jelly Bean -- and is powered by a 1.6 GHz octa core or 1.9 GHz quad core processor with Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset.
“Though the phone comes with processors of different capacities, the one we are launching in Nepal has 1.9 GHz quad core processor,” said Sharma.
S4 comes with power VR SGX 544 MP3 graphics processing unit, 2GB RAM and internal memory of 16 GB which can be expanded by another 64 GB.
The phone is powered by a 13-mega-pixel auto focus primary camera with a resolution of 4128x3096 pixels, LED flash that allows dual shots, simultaneous high-definition (HD) video and image recording and geo-tagging. Other features include: touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization and high dynamic range (HDR) photography. Users can make video calls with the help of 2-mega-pixel front camera.
The phone, with a strong battery of 2600 mAh, has features such as eye tracking, gesture recognition capabilities, S Health and S Voice Drive, among others.
According to the company, ´Smart Stay´, also known as ´Smart Pause´, is a new feature in the S4 that uses the front camera to pause videos if users are looking away from the screen.
Another feature ´Smart Scroll´ enables automatic scrolling of pages upon tilting the phone in different directions.
S Health, a calorie-counter or a pedometer, is another new feature in the phone. It uses sensors like accelerometer and barometer to track of steps, jogs, hops, jolts, snacks, and perspiration.
Likewise, the S Voice Drive app, specially designed for cars, allows drivers to use built-in navigation system and make calls, send messages and check the weather.
Besides the usual toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, the phone also has toggles for call-blocking and eye-tracking modes. It has integrated optical reader that can scan Quick Response (QR) codes, turn business cards into text and translate with S Translator.
Sharma said that Galaxy S4 will be available for Rs 71,900 in the local market. The phones come with one-year insurance and 1GB free data for three months from Ncell.
Virgin Mobile will be extending free phone covers to those who book the cell phones in advance.
