Telling you that the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been a popular smartphone is probably not any kind of a news flash. But the handset did recently receive a bit of a news update. While it is not at all uncommon to see data backup services offered by operating systems, it is rare to see one put forth by a wireless carrier. And as the largest 4G LTE system in the United States with over 440 markets offering coverage, Verizon recently announced they are giving the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone their new Verizon Cloud backup service.

Basically, your personal and contact information is backed up daily and automatically, so that if your handset is ever lost, stolen or you simply upgrade, you will not lose all of your important data. The service is offered for free to a certain storage level, and then updates can be purchased. Currently spotted at the Amazon Wireless store for $149 on contract for the Verizon 16 GB variant, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been a monster hit for that smartphone manufacturer. Samsung followed up the popular Galaxy S smartphone with the award-winning Galaxy S II, and the Galaxy S III topped that phone’s success by selling 10 million units in less than its first two months of availability.
All the Samsung Galaxy S4 has done is move 10 million global units in less than its first month of availability, continuing to sell as one of the top two smartphones in the United States. Consistently battling the iPhone 5 for sales supremacy, a lower retail, larger touchscreen, higher resolution and better camera have helped the Galaxy S4 in its sales war with the iPhone 5. The phone is also excellent for business, as it receives a SAFE designation (Samsung Approved For Enterprise), and is the first smartphone from that manufacturer to offer the KNOX business solution.
KNOX (as in Fort Knox, the impregnable gold reserve in the United States) delivers excellent mobile security at both the hardware and software levels, for business and personal privacy. The 441 color pixels located over each inch of display space is far and away one of the best designations found on any smartphone, and that leads to a Full HD 1,080 x 1,920 pixels on the 5.0 inch Super AMOLED screen the handset boasts. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is also wafer thin at 0.31 inches (7.9 mm), and weighs just 4.59 ounces (130 g).
A third-generation layer of Gorilla Glass protects the screen, and a full 17.0 hours of talk time is possible from a single charge. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T system chip powers the handset, with a quad core 1.9 GHz CPU as its cornerstone piece. A full 2.0 GB of RAM is on board, and the phone is also offered in a 32 GB model, with a microSD slot provided for storage expansion. A high-end camcorder at 13.0 megapixels is built into the back of the Galaxy S4, providing a special effects package, multiple customization and personalization features, and the ability to record video in 1,080P HD resolution.
