Gadget Review: Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE


Dear All,

Welcome back to ye another edition of Gadget Review. Today we bring you an exclusive review on the brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Version. This phone claimed to be one of the best Android devices around and some said it had eventually beaten the Apple Iphone5 in terms of hardware specification. Here we bring you the summary of the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE.


Outlook

The Samsung Galaxy S4 outlook is pretty good and it has a 5 inch screen with HD Super Amoled Screen. The screen is very big and huge and it's suitable for me as well. But the plastic build feel at the back of the phone that covers the phone does not sounds nice but at least you can change your battery very easily. The outlook of every Samsung phones are the same and there's no changes at all. I would rate this overall as satisfied. RATING: 4/5

Operating System

The Operating System that this phone uses is actually the latest Android Jelly Bean Version 4.2.2. It has a powerful interface with great features installed. It's almost the same as the previous Android Operating System but this OS gives is more stable that the old ones and it claimed to be faster as well. In Samsung, they have developed a very smooth touch screen on top of the operating system itself. Great job. RATING: 5/5 



Camera

This phone has a build in 13 Mega Pixels, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus and LED flash. The best part is it has the Dual Shot, Simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization & HDR. For video is has a 1080p@30fps, dual-video recording as well. The pictures taken is very nice and great indeed especially in bright place but it acts slightly poorer in the darker area with or without flash. The video recording is great that can produce the 1080p quality. RATING: 4/5

Processor

Best! This is the word I want to say about the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE. It's equipped with chipset

Qualcomm APQ8064T Snapdragon 600 and the GPU would be Quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300. It's one of the fastest so far on the market and no one can beat Samsung right now. You can feel the smoothness of the phone with no lagging. The sensitivity touch also improved tremendously and can compete with Apple devices. Simply Great! RATING: 5/5

 SIM Card & Network Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE and non LTE both using the Micro Sim card and not the old conventional standard SIM Card size anymore. You can get it at all major telcos in Malaysia. Since I'm using Maxis, it's 4G coverage area is pretty limited but once I get covered, I can get speeds up to 10-30 Mbps which is 5 times faster than the normal HSDPA or HSDPA+ signal. I would say Maxis 4G is up to my expectations and work greatly with this phone. So far, only Maxis offers the 4G services to its customers with the 4G phone as well. The reason is the costs of upgrading the 4G towers are pretty expensive and then now less people using it too. MY RATING: 5/5

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is my choice with lots of great features installed on the Operating System. The most notable features includes the Smart stay, Smart pause, Smart scroll & Air gestures. Smart Pause acts when you are watching a Youtube video and then once your eye move somewhere else, it will pause until your eye watch the video again and it resumes. Smart Scroll enables you to point at the segment you want to view and it pops out on the screen and lastly the Air Gestures allows you to scroll your photos without touching the screen. All you need to do is just to wave your hand and it will flip by itself. These are some great features that this phones has and it's very useful as well.


I rated at Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE as one of the best Android smartphones in the market and if you are planning to get one, please do not hesitate to get one for yourself and enjoy the phone.
