News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S III users who have been enviously reading up about all the new features of the Samsung Galaxy S IV can now stop feeling so jealous. Samsung officials have said that many of the new features available in the new Samsung Galaxy S IV will be made available in the Samsung Galaxy S III and other flagship models such as the Note II or perhaps the Grand. These features are mostly hardware dependent, so if it requires hardware that the S III doesn't have, it probably won't be included. However, this does mean that new features that don't require such hardware may also be included. This list may include:

• Smart scroll
• Smart pause
• Air View
• Eraser mode

On top of being one of the first smartphones to have an 8-core processor Samsung's Galaxy S4 packs in a number of new Samsung-only features that help to make your smartphone experience better. Some of the new features which stood out for us included:

Dual Camera: Take photos and videos with both the front and rear cameras at the same time.

S Translator: Translate language on the fly from speech to text and text to speech. Almost like the Pomegranate phone.
