What are the advantages of the Samsung Galaxy S4? - The Express

The new high-end smartphone from Samsung, the successor of Galaxy S3 which has sold over 41 million copies worldwide, released in France on Saturday. It will be sold 679 euros in a single 16 GB version, 4G-compatible. The S4 is an improved version of S3, without much innovation brought to the model, but of good quality and performance. Not surprisingly, it will surely delight fans of trendy gadgets and those seeking a high-end Android smartphone. But for those who already have an S3 for example, compare with the HTC One may be worth it.

design side, the screen S4 is almost imperceptibly larger than the S3 (5 inches instead of 4.8), without increasing the device as it is on the screen margins gained size. The resolution is improved from 720×1280 to 1080 × 1920, with a resolution of 441 dpi instead of 306. The device is thinner (7.9 mm) and slightly more rectangular. The material of the shell does not change, it’s still plastic. This can make it look a little less S4 upscale than the HTC One, aluminum, or Sony Xperia Z which uses glass. That said, this allows it to be lighter than its competitors (130 g). Galaxy S4 is available in black or white.

Many “gadgets”

Samsung has developed the set of features available without tactile interaction. The S3 already left the lights (with some hiccups) screen when the user looking at the screen, even if he does not touch. The S4 goes further. It is for example able to pause a video if the head is diverted. It also scrolls alone if the head or the phone is tilted.

“Air view” function to scroll by using the gesture from the bottom up or top down, but without touching the screen, just approaching hand very closely, or even preview images in movement a video during playback if the finger on the timeline approach to a different location on the dipstick. This is the same functionality as the Note 2, which uses the stylus. However, to scroll, it is faster to touch the screen (because the Air View does not work every time), so the airview is the only way to access the preview, which also applies to calendar or mails.

But these gestures

orders defects. First, they do not work in all applications, only in native applications from Samsung and Android. Then you do not get 100% success. Finally, the interest may be limited. For example, it is possible to answer a call by swiping the screen without touching the hand, which can be used to respond when your hands are dirty. But once we landed, must still be able to activate the speaker or enter the handsfree …

The extras

Galaxy S4 also enriches the “Optical reader” feature, which allows for example to call by scanning a card on which is written a phone number.

So many new friendly but can not alone make a difference to purchase.

Photo / Video: more fun than pure performance

The camera goes from 8 to 13 megapixels. It allows you to add filters, create a variety of animated GIFs, and photo albums. Different capture modes are also more accessible than ever before. The “Dual Camera” function is fun: it simultaneously captures two images superimposed (in the picture or video), with front and rear sensors, thus displays thrombin Photographer inset in the picture. It is also possible to record sound when taking a picture thumbnail to capture the mood of the moment.

But in terms of pure picture quality tests published by specialized websites conclude that the device is not good enough in low light, especially compared to Sony Xperia Z or HTC One.

Galaxy S4 compete

latest Samsung is often placed in front of the HTC One, also on Android, with good reason. Launched in April, the high-end smartphone that rivals the most with the Galaxy S4, although one could also consider the Sony Xperia Z in the selection. The comparison with the iPhone 5 is less valid because the model Apple is more than the previous generation, that of S3.

• Smartphones: we tested the new Galaxy S4

But U.S. carriers Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile announced Wednesday it postponed the arrival of the Galaxy S4 in their stores, citing supply problems.
Samsung has charged Thursday delays the popular success of its new smartphone “we encounter difficulties to improve short-term deliveries because pre-orders have been much higher than expected,” said Lee Don-Joo, director of sales and marketing of Samsung’s mobile division.
No more than the iPhone 5 the S4 offers technological revolution but improvements that can be decisive in the fierce competition between smartphones and tablets using him as Android mobile software from rival Google.
S4 – S3 whose predecessor has sold over 41 million copies since its launch a year ago – is especially with a large high-definition screen (5 inches, 12.7 centimeters) a battery and a more powerful camera.
It can recognize eye movements to scroll or turn pages automatically as and when playback or pause video when the user looks away.
“Samsung entered into uncharted territory. Sales S4 tell us if he is able to defend its new status as” the world leader in mobile phones and smartphones, notes James Song, an analyst at KDB Daewoo Securities.
For now, everything seems to smile on South Korean company is expected to announce Friday that a whopping 53% of its operating profit in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2012, to 8,700 billion won ($ 5 billion ).
Samsung has passed 65 million smartphones in the first three months of fiscal 2013, for a market share of 30%, according to research firm DRAMeXchange Taiwanese.
In contrast, Apple announced Tuesday the first decline in net profit in nearly a decade. According to DRAMeXchange, the iPhone has sold 37.5 million units for a global market share of 15.3%.
Samsung had stolen the top spot to Apple in 2011 and its lead last year and accounted for about 30% market sha re against 19% for the group at the apple.
S3 was even temporarily replaced during the summer iPhone 4S as the world’s best-selling smartphone, and Samsung was openly mocked his rival in commercials where he had people queuing up to buy the iPhone 5, but squinting with envy on the Galaxy S3.
For his successor the Galaxy S4, the bar has been set very high.
CIMB Bank expects at least 70 million passed this year. Morgan Stanley also mentions an “ambitious goal” set by Samsung to its suppliers, who will be able to deliver 10 million copies per month, against 8,000,000 peak production for the S3.
According to Morgan Stanley, the device would be proposed by a number of “record” of 400 operators in 210 countries for use on the third or fourth generation (3G or 4G LTE).
Samsung, whose range is very wide, from S4 to cheaper models for emerging markets, however, remains far from Apple in terms of profitability with operating two t imes higher margin for the U.S..
“Samsung still has a long way to go before settling permanently as a leader and not a follower. Has never had the genius of innovation as Steve Jobs,” said James Song.
“But Jobs (who died of cancer in 2011) is no longer Apple and the company is struggling. It could help Samsung to gain time to install as a leader in every sense of the term.”
Song believes that the S4 can reach the 80 million units taking advantage of recent problems in Apple’s supply chain.

It is precisely on this technical pedigree that the Korean manufacturer has to make its latest model a sales champion.

We were able to preview, test a few days ago this model decidedly upscale. The “wow effect! “Is immediate, as the screen eyeful. The iPhone 5, despite its Retina screen is tiny and mostly pale next to the S4 to the 5-inch (12.7 cm diagonal) high-definition 16 million pixels.

In addition to the avalanche of technical prowess, the S4 knows how to seduce with a few features that would raise the eyebrows of any jaded mobile.

Also offers the possibility of a “drama shot,” a picture that appear several shots of a moving subject.

The S4 also reinvents how to fly a smartphone . A sensor detects the movement of a finger without that touches the screen will scroll the pictures without leaving unsightly marks album. In the same spirit, the camera detects the light and allows, simply nodding, scroll a text or web page without putting any finger on the screen. These features are impressive.

Galaxy S4: Samsung cheek as Apple - BFMTV.COM

Galaxy S4 experiencing supply delays. The last baby Samsung competitor to the iPhone, due out in the coming days. But the group is struggling to provide operators, including Americans. Demand would be much higher than expected. An explanation which is doubtful.

Because if Apple attacked Samsung to court for plagiarizing its products, it could also be accused of copying its marketing techniques. Organized shortage is a classic: Samsung highlights many more pre-orders than expected, which would prevent it from delivering on time American operators, where the phone will be launched in the coming days

.

A common strategy in electronics

Without completely undermine this explanation, it is surprising that Samsung had not jumped the gun on such a crucial product in its strategy. Especially as the previous model, the Galaxy S3 has been a phenomenal success it is sold 50 million. And Samsung plans to do even better with the new device. The group was therefore expect a tidal wave of preorders.

marketing scarcity is a very common strategy in the world of electronics. Apple has used repeatedly by limiting stocks of iPhones sent to operators.

Other case studies: Sony, which in 2000 generated a mass hysteria in Paris, launching his Playstation 2 in very limited numbers. The old trick “ careful, there will not be for everyone .”

Samsung USA has recognized that “due to a huge global demand for the Galaxy S4, the initial application may be limited.” “We expect to complete the inventory to meet demand in the coming weeks,” he said, referring to the operators for details.

The unit would normally go out Friday in South Korea, and begin to arrive in the world, including the United States, during the weekend. In France, its timing is the same.

The Samsung Galaxy 4 could sell twice as S3 - Expansion

Galaxy S4, new high-end smartphone from Samsung, released this week in the world to counter the iPhone 5 and consolidate ahead of South Korea on Apple. Presented in March at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Galaxy S4 opens Friday in South Korea and the rest of the world over the weekend.

41 million Galaxy S3 sold in one year

No more than the iPhone 5, the S4 offers technological revolution, but improvements that can be decisive in the fierce competition between smartphones and tablets using him as Android, the mobile operating system Google. S4 – S3 whose predecessor has sold over 41 million copies since its launch a year ago – is especially with a large high-definition screen (5 inches, 12.7 centimeters) a battery and a camera performance. It can recognize eye movements to scroll or turn pages automatically as and when reading, or stop video when the user looks away.

“Samsung entered into uncharted territory. Sales S4 tell us if he is able to defend its new status as” the world leader in mobile phones and smartphones, notes James Song, an analyst at KDB Daewoo Securities.

For now, everything seems to smile on South Korean company is expected to announce Friday that a whopping 53% of its operating profit in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2012, to 8.7 trillion won (5.98 billion).

Objective 70 to 80 million for the S4

Samsung has passed 65 million smartphones in the first three months of fiscal 2013, for a market share of 30%, according to research firm DRAMeXchange Taiwanese. In contrast, Apple announced Tuesday the first decline in net profit in nearly a decade. According to DRAMeXchange, the iPhone has sold 37.5 million units for a global market share of 15.3%. Samsung had stolen the top spot to Apple in 2011 and its lead last year and accounted for about 30% market share against 19% for the group at the apple. S3 was even temporarily replaced during the summer iPhone 4S as the world’s best-selling smartphone, and Samsung was openly mocked his rival in commercials where he had people queuing up to buy the iPhone 5, but squinting with envy on the Galaxy S3.

his successor Galaxy S4, the bar has been set very high. CIMB Bank expects at least 70 million passed this year. Morgan Stanley also mentions an “ambitious goal” set by Samsung to its suppliers, who will be able to deliver 10 million copies per month, against 8,000,000 at the time of peak production for the S3. According to Morgan Stanley, the device would be proposed by a number of “record” of 400 operators in 210 countries for use on the third or fourth generation (3G or 4G LTE).

Samsung, whose range is very wide, from S4 to cheaper models for emerging markets, however, remains far from Apple in terms of profitability with a two times higher for the U.S. operating margin. “Samsung still has a long way to go before settling permanently as a leader and not a follower. Has never had the genius of innovation as Steve Jobs,” said James Song. “But Jobs is no longer Apple and the company is struggling. It could help Samsung to gain time to install as a leader in every sense of the term.” Song believes that the S4 can reach the 80 million units taking advantage of recent problems in Apple’s supply chain.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5: Samsung populist, Apple's ... - Le Nouvel Observateur

The Samsung Galaxy S4, presented in New York on 14 March 2013, will be available in the next few days (J.DeCrow / SIPA).

SAMSUNG. preorder for several weeks at most operators, the Samsung Galaxy S4 arrives in stores this week in France. Launch globally which speaks volumes about the ambitions of the South Korean giant, imposing a smartphone such as all records

.

In June 2010, when the Samsung Galaxy S arrives first name, nobody dares to think that Apple’s dominance in the market for smartphones could be worried.

Almost three years later, and many different versions, the Galaxy S4 is going to wear a blow to the Cupertino company. After testing this smartphone and observed the business strategies of the two competitors, I think Apple should expect tomorrows. How Galaxy S4 will he finally be able to oust the iPhone out of the throne he held for too long

An unprecedented global launch

release of this new mobile high-end follows a drastic battle plan. The launch takes place simultaneously in no less than 210 countries in partnership with more than 400 mobile operators.

In France, SFR should start deliveries on April 26. 27 in Orange / Sosh and Virgin Mobile. To avoid mishaps iPhone 5 smartphone launched in September 2012 had passed 5 million copies in three days and Apple was forced to officially announce a stock-out, Samsung has put the package.

If

normally, economics, the concept of scarcity is proportional to the value of a product, there is nothing in the smartphone market, breaking Apple’s stock has lost millions in the firm.

To avoid this loss of credibility logistics Samsung organized a mass marketing plan in the months since overproducing the essential components to the new phone. Will consider to sell nearly 30 million Galaxy S4 in the second quarter, including 10 million in the first month of release. For comparison, the Galaxy S3 had passed 10 million copies in three months and had put 157 days to reach the famous 30 million.

The presentation of the Galaxy S4 in New York City Hall on March 14, 2013 (D.EMMERT / AFP).

Analysts estimate that 100 million S4 should be sold worldwide. Recall that the S3 since its launch in April 2012, has sold “only” 50 million units. Samsung therefore aimed squarely twice! In other words, Samsung hopes that its new smartphone weighs term 10% of the market alone.

Unheard and figures have obviously dizzy. In any case one thing is for sure, Samsung is no longer an inferiority complex against its competitor. Before the South Korean seemed to hold in awe, perhaps too, his rival in an almost secular Asian business tradition.

But now Samsung is no longer hidden. He wants his Samsung Galaxy S4 makes history by becoming the best-selling and best-selling smartphone soon. Logistics war seems in any case already be won by Samsung.

Photos translation preview: silversmithing uses

having the phone in hand, we must be clear about one thing right now, the S4, as in my opinion the iPhone 5 are not technological revolutions.

If the S4 aims to be the smartphone of all records, but rather through small improvements that ultimately will prove decisive. From a strictly technical point of view, the S4 is a gem.

no need to use too barbaric and abstract terms, the product data sheets are here for, but just know that with its processor is simply the most powerful phone on the market today.

screen expands from its predecessor to 5 inches while the size of the phone remains the same. The camera goes from 8 million to 13 million pixel and battery increases its range by about 25%. That’s the abstract aspect, because the real thing a user asks his final smartphone is its ability to help us in our various daily tasks.

S4 risk simply to simplify your life and why researchers Samsung did not skimp on resources. The features of the camera are numerous.

mode “dual shot” can take a picture with the two goals at the same time or dramatic fashion compiles 5 pictures in one. Saves lot of time avoiding going through a specific application.

integrated translator allows you to translate oral or written not less than 9 languages. You can control certain functions of the phone without touching it. The “smart’s roll” can just scroll a web page with head movements. The “smart button” allows visual recognition of the display. When you are in transit and you watch a video, just as you do not look at the screen for the video starts pause itself and starts again when you pay for a new visual attention on your screen.

Galaxy S4: we tested the eye tracking … by LeNouvelObservateur

feature “Air View” allows you to preview a photo folder, sms, e-mail, video just approaching his finger from the screen, like an invisible pen. I stay in love for one simple reason, simplifying our lives, the Samsung Galaxy S4 almost humanizes it becomes no longer a technological extension but a daily companion.

the snob

prowess Samsung and decisive advantage that takes on South Korea against Apple lies in its ability to speak to everyone unpretentious.

Where the iPhone is for a user caste minimum connoisseurs, the S4 plays the card of technological populism. This policy does not result in a mass settlement technology, quite the contrary. And this is where the real revolution.

attend many high-tech event of the year, one thing strikes me every show: the lack of Apple

.

Anthony Shahir is the first to buy an iPhone 5 in the Apple Store, Paris Opera, September 21, 2012 (M.Bureau / AFP)

early September took place IFA Berlin: no iPhone on the horizon. In January at CES in Las Vegas? No Apple around. The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in late February? The Cupertino company does not deign to move there.

I can understand the position that Apple prefers to rely on its global keynotes, the presentations with great fanfare that bemuse High Tech journalists worldwide. But these appointments take a dangerous turn, Apple sacred.

Samsung, the demagogue

Samsung is on all fronts, on all channels, multiply ads with remarkable vividness and availability. For its part, Apple is arrogant and arrogance begins to feel into its products. Apple denigrate competitors and sometimes takes up its customers, the famous dictatorship cool.

War heart may be even more important than the technological war, because this condition that we can have for a brand can lead to irrational make purchases. The next Galaxy S5 is technically worse than the iPhone 6? It does not matter, my affection for Samsung balance.

Apple should not overlook this point, it does its brand picture. S4 brand in my opinion an almost historic moment in the history of mobile phones. The handover is initiated.

HTC One, a rival for the Galaxy S4? - Challenges.fr

HTC is counting on its new smartphone “One” to redress the balance. The situation is complicated by the Taiwanese manufacturer reported net income for the first quarter of the lowest for 7 years. Its market share is further reduced to a trickle between 2011 and 2012. According to IDC, it rose from 8.8% in 2011 to 4.6% in 2012, when Samsung tops (30.3%) and second Apple (19.1%).

This is why the HTC One sign of the time counter-attack against an increasingly competitive market. We must now rely on the revival of Sony, the ambitions of Huawei, the return of BlackBerry …

Unveiled at Barcelona, ??the flagship of the Taiwanese brand displays the appetite of the group. This high-end mobile means a level playing field with the top of the market, the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4 has to happen at the end of the month.

One is undoubtedly the evolving Android smartphone of the moment. Too bad its release delayed placed almost at the same time on the market as the new star of the Korean giant. Therefore difficult to get a place in the sun.

A very successful visual signature

Yet the technical and design, the HTC One offers the very best currently. His look is a great success with his piece aluminum shell. Side finish, there is nothing to say. We may regret against by weight: 143 grams and thickness: 9.3 mm. For once, against the iPhone 5, its 112 grams and 7.6 mm thick, there is no picture! The smartphone apple remains unbeatable time.

4.7-inch full HD (1920x1080Pixels) offers against a resolution by 468 pixels per inch which is above that of the iPhone 5 (326 ppi) and the Galaxy S4 (441 dpi .)

carbide secondly to Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 to 1.7 GHz and has 2GB of RAM, which have a fast and efficient multi-tasking machine.

device is further equipped with a camera with 4 million pixels, only we say. When competition display 8 or 13 million pixels, the Taiwanese group has not launched in the bidding and it shows. The photos are all absolutely correct, no more.

Where

HTC still has some room for maneuver is more on the small product. Outside Sense TV that turns the mobile universal TV remote control, sound AudioBeats and some interesting video features, the One can not compete with all the advanced Samsung on its latest smartphone range.

Sold from 630 euros, the HTC One does not have to be ashamed in front of the Galaxy S4. His visual signature aluminum is much more successful than the eternal plastic shell ‘cheap’ Korean rival.

Business: The world number two could provide a terminal large screen (5.5 inches) to compete for the Traveller Samsung

.

With the Galaxy Note, Samsung has successfully introduced a new breed of smartphone: the phablets. Consumers are indeed flocked to these terminals halfway between a smartphone and a tablet (for the size of the screen).

quickly, manufacturers have stepped into the breach, including LG (with view), Lenovo or ZTE (with Grand Memo). Nokia, which is not yet on the market shelves, also plancherait on a big screen smartphone.

According to the Financial Times, it would be a model of the Lumia range with a 5.5-inch screen (like the Galaxy Note II) led logically by Windows Phone 8.

However, Samsung does not intend to be walked on foot. The world number one has also multiply references phablets. In addition to a hypothetical Note III (with a screen of 5.9 inches), the giant recently formalized a new range called Mega.

The second will carry a 5.8-inch screen, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, 8 GB of storage space, but will not be 4G. It is also run by Android 4.2.

They will be launched in May
