Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Samsung Galaxy S III

Image
Introduction The  Samsung Galaxy S III  was an absolute smash-hit in 2012. Few were the Android smartphones that dared to challenge it, and even fewer were those that stood any chance at all. However, time has once again proved that nothing lasts forever, as we're now 2013, and the good old GS III is now much less impressive than it was a year ago. But that doesn't mean that another company is to steal the crown from Samsung. Nope. Sammy has been refining and improving its billion-dollar formula, and the results of its efforts are evident in the  Galaxy S4  – a handset that seems absolutely worthy of succeeding the wonderful Galaxy S III.

Full Samsung Galaxy S4 Review

by  Joshua Vergara  on April 21, 2013 6:36 am 13 in Share 1 When J.K. Shin, Samsung’s mobile boss, took the stage in the Radio City Music Hall last month, the tech world paused in a second of anticipation. Would the largest smartphone maker in the world deliver again? Would the Galaxy S4 continue the legacy of a series of phones that fundamentally changed the mobile landscape? What we got instead of an answer was a sensory assault that left us enthralled, but also a bit bewildered. Samsung packed so many new features in the Galaxy S4 that it’s a little difficult to keep track of everything. However, the Korean company took a risky bet when it opted to keep the design of its new flagship in line with last year’s Galaxy S3. And yes, the Galaxy S4 is still made of plastic, at a time when competitors opt for more luxurious materials, like aluminum and glass. It’s safe to say that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is an evolutionary leap, rather than a ra...
