Samsung Galaxy S4 Price, Size and Review.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 REVIEW : DOES THE SMARTPHONE'S "NECESSARY" BUMPER MAKE IT TO "BIG"?
REVIEW:
- While the Galaxy S4 is actually one of Samsung’s smaller handsets, its 5–inch display still makes it quite a gargantuan smartphone.
- When it comes to handling, the size of the Galaxy S4 is not bad; however, with a case or bumper more or less required in order to keep the device safe from falling catastrophes, the Galaxy S4 begins to approach “too big” territory.
- The Samsung Galaxy S4 spans 2.75 inches in width, which is slightly less wide than its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S3, which spans 2.78 inches. Be advised that the 5–inch display advertised for the Samsung Galaxy S4 refers to its span diagonally. In actual handling of the phone, its true width becomes much more important.
- Added protection from a bumper or case may be necessary for the Samsung Galaxy S4 as it has proven to be a fragile device. Drop tests have shown that the smartphone can suffer excessive damage, including screen shattering, especially when it is dropped from a long distance, such as from the ear.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 V/S IPHONE 5:
SIZE
While narrower than Samsung’s Galaxy Note by about a half-inch, the S4 strongly evokes a miniature but very serviceable tablet. And since making calls is one of the things we seem to do least with our phones, marketing a connected device like the S4 as a very small tablet that also makes calls might not be a bad idea.
ANDROID
As a “tablet,” the S4 delivers. Screen resolution is amazing.. It runs fast and smooth, which is not a given when you don’t own both the hardware and software. The S4 runs the latest version of Google’s Android mobile operating system, Jellybean 4.2.
RANK
The Samsung Galaxy S4′s tagline — “The next big thing is here” – is a telling pitch. The Galaxy is the world’s second best-selling phone, behind the iPhone. And the latest version unabashedly claims that bigger is better. But considering the S4 in a different light, maybe we shouldn’t think of it as a big phone. Maybe we should treat it like a very small tablet and leave our real tablet home.
DISPLAY
The S4 has a larger screen — 4.99 inches versus 4.8 for the S III. The case is narrower by .03 inches. But that push to increase screen size without increasing the footprint makes it a more sensitive device. The context menu and “back” below the screen are just too easily tapped inadvertently while merely holding the phone while doing a task, like typing. These buttons were vexing in another, smaller way as well: They light up whenever you touch the screen.
