According to a recent TrendForce report, Samsung shipped a full 23 million Galaxy S4 smartphones in just the second quarter of this year. That obviously does not include July and August sales figures, which will probably push the current total to more than 30 million Galaxy S4 smartphones sold globally. The 16 GB Sprint Galaxy S4 sold by various online retailers was recently spotted for a lowered retail price of $99 on contract, that price drop coming in the advance of new smartphones hitting the mobile marketplace.

Wherever the sales figures lie for the Galaxy S4, any smartphone that sells more than 20 million units instantly rates is one of the bestselling handsets of all time. Samsung has been very successful with their Galaxy S line up, and the Galaxy S4 picked up right where the successful and award-winning Galaxy S III left off. Already a favorite of smartphone shoppers, the Galaxy S4 delivers one of the largest high resolution displays ever designed for a mobile handset, a powerful quad core processor and unique gesture controls.
Without even touching the phone you can answer it with a mere wave of your hand just above the display, and the infrared sensor on board the Galaxy S4 allows you to use it as a television or home stereo remote control. The phone offers Bluetooth, NFC, Wireless-N Wi-Fi and DLNA wireless connectivity options, as well as the Samsung KNOX business security solution for the first time in a mobile device. Android’s Jelly Bean 4.2.2 operating system is present out-of-the-box.
Despite the impressive amount of hardware the device contains, the Galaxy S4 is still slim, measuring just 0.31 inches (7.9 mm) in thickness. The phone also weighs just 4.59 ounces (130 g), yet still delivers a large 5.0 inch 1,080P HD display. Pixel density is extremely high at 441 pixels per inch, with the Super AMOLED screen protected against everyday wear and tear by a scratch resistant layer of Gorilla Glass 3. Talk time of up to 17.0 hours is offered after a full charge, and the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T system chip.
The hardware package includes 2.0 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of built-in data storage, a microSD slot for storage expansion, and an Adreno 320 graphics processor. The 13.0 megapixel camcorder on the back of the handset is capable of 1,080P HD resolution video recording, and can team up with the front facing chat cam in a dual camera mode. That rear facing snapper provides an extensive special effects and customization package, and the Galaxy S4 can be operated as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for multiple wireless devices.
