The milestone was intentionally “leaked” by Samsung to members of the media, and those are figures that place the Galaxy S4 in extremely limited company. The news arrives as Samsung has recently released Galaxy S4 variants such as the Galaxy S4 Zoom, boasting a 16 megapixel camera and 10X optical zoom. Samsung also followed up the carrier-supported Galaxy S4 by launching the Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S4 Mini, as well as the Galaxy S4 LTE-A exclusively in South Korea last week.
Resolution, pixel density, processing power and screen size are all big on the Galaxy S4, which is also a SAFE designated smartphone (Samsung Approved for Enterprise). The Galaxy S4 is the first device manufactured by Samsung to deliver the company’s KNOX solution, which delivers mobile security at hardware and software levels for your personal and business applications and information. The phone also delivers industry-leading eyeball tracking and contextual awareness technologies, which support hands-free operations and apps.
Light and slim, the phone weighs just 4.59 ounces (130 g) and measures a wafer-thin 0.31 inches (7.9 mm) in thickness. The display on the Galaxy S4 is one of the largest on any mobile handset, measuring 5.0 inches. That Super AMOLED screen delivers more than 16 million separate colors at the rate of 441 pixels per inch, for a Full HD resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. The onboard ambient light sensor and proximity sensor help conserve battery power but automating display dimming and screen brightness adjustment.
This aids the extended life 2,600 mA battery which powers the Galaxy S4 in delivering 17.0 hours of talk time from a full charge. The phone’s hardware package is anchored by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T system chip with a quad core 1.9 GHz CPU at its base. A generous 2.0 GB of RAM is on board alongside 16 GB of built-in storage space and an Adreno 320 GPU, with a microSD slot included for storage expansion. The main camera is a 13.0 megapixel camcorder, capable of 1,080P HD resolution video recording, and it also delivers an extensive special effects and customization package.
