Samsung launched the successor to its hugely popular Galaxy S III, the Galaxy S 4 this morning and as expected, it has lived up to most of its high expectations and exceeded some too. At first glance this flagship phone might only look like a bigger version of the Galaxy S III, but there’s much more to it than meets the eye. Let’s have a look at all that is new in terms of hardware on the Galaxy S 4.
Let’s start off with the size and weight of the new phone. At 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm compared to the 136.6×70.6×8.6mm on its predecessor, it is actually a bit thinner than before and as we mentioned during in our Hands On feature, the phone can be easily held in one hand. The body now made up of a new polycarbonate body feels a bit more premium and is also lighter than before at 130 grams.
The Galaxy S 4 also sports a bigger 5-inch Super AMOLED 1080p display compared to the 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED 720p display on the Galaxy S III. If you count the number of pixels that has been crammed into the 5-inch display, it comes up to 441 pixels per inch, which is higher than most of the phones in the market and certainly much higher than the Galaxy S III which had a pixel density of 306ppi. Some might complain about the PenTile pixel arrangement on the S 4, but trust us when we say that at such high resolutions, it doesn’t matter as much. Another new feature on the Galaxy S 4 is the ability to operate the display even when wearing gloves, something that is only yet found on the Nokia Lumia 920.
