Phone smart

With a hint of the Galaxy Note II and a whole lot of Galaxy S III, The Galaxy S4 comes in as a different approach from Samsung in terms of design, What have been said about the previous models -especially when it comes to built quality- doesnt apply here at all. 

The S4 -unlike previous Galaxy devices- Doesnt give you a plasticy feeling about it, if anything it gives you the feeling of a premium built product, Aluminium is a very nice touch from Samsung, Personally I hope well see a whole lot of similar materials in upcoming models,

The S4 feels very nice in my normally sized hand, even though they have hooked this beautiful smartphone with a bigger screen than the S3s, its size staid almost the same, If it wasnt for the new LED flash placement I couldve never told the difference between an S3 and an S4 flipped on the front side on a table. 

The S4 comes rocking a 13MP camera, Which I found to be a whole lot better than the one I got on my Note II, but heres the thing, Its more than just megapixels, The software plays a decent role here, the camera app comes with so many features, little tweeks and effects that I would like very much to have on my Note II, it basically replaces like 20 apps people install just to mess with their photos. unfortunately I didnt spend much time on the camera but hopefully ill be writing a more in-depth piece about it if I got my hands on the device again soon. 

The Galaxy S4 is one of the very few none-Nexus devices to come with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, And the first Sammy device to come with Android 4.2.2 and the good old TouchWiz, and I must say... TouchWiz have grown so much ! This Sammy stock ROM has adopted the single and dual touch pull-down notification centre weve seen in the Nexus devices and added their own touch, to be honest it doesnt look as pretty as the original but its kind of more productive as theyve put every toggle you can think of in there. 

Also the Settings menu has been remodelled, They brought back something I havent seen since my last Sony Ericsson device which is tabs (Check out the photo to the right). Yes we got tabs everywhere on our phones but weve got used to the long scroll down settings list that has gotten longer after all "Accounts" started to show in the main menu after the first Jelly Bean update...
