Pack it in, folks. We’ve done it. Humanity has now crammed in every conceivable phone spec and feature you wanted or didn’t want, or didn’t know you wanted, into as big a smartphone form factor as possible (without breaching the phablet threshold, that is). So good job, everybody. We can exhale now, as the Samsung Galaxy S 4 has hit the spotlight. No one could’ve foreseen this beast a...
Now that the Galaxy S 4 is out in the open, it's time we step back to recognize and applaud HTC. It's no secret the company is nowhere near as successful as Samsung, yet the Taiwanese manufacturer bravely and confidently announced its One late last month, knowing full well an S 4 would be unveiled shortly after. And you know what? For all of Samsung's overwhelming Android dominance and...
How does the HTC One camera with 4 Ultra Pixels stack up against the Samsung Galaxy S 4’s shooter with 13 megapixels? While we didn’t have time at the event to shoot a ton of photos, we fired off two shots to see how the cameras of the two latest smartphones stack up against one another. After our massive camera shoot out between the HTC One and other smartphones, it only seemed...
Sprint customers will be able to pick up the Galaxy S 4 when it’s released during Q2 of this year. The carrier sent out a quick statement following Samsung’s announcement, saying how excited it is to get the Korean company’s latest flagship handset. (Sprint also took the opportunity to remind everyone about its Truly Unlimited LTE plan in the U.S.) In a surprising bit of information,...
In the Android landscape, Samsung is an unrivaled titan, sitting atop the highest possible perch of smartphone glory and supremacy. Over the past few years, the company has gone from tepid challenger to olympic gold medalist. The Samsung Galaxy S sparked a revolution back in March 2010, and four iterations later, the Korean company is releasing its biggest Galaxy product ever—probably...
Several reports have suggested that Samsung will offer an eye-tracking feature on the Galaxy S IV that will allow you to scroll through Web sites with your eyes, control video and more. A demo of the technology was recently posted on YouTube, with what appears to be a real Galaxy S IV, but it's far less impressive than the "eye tracking" tech we thought was going to be introduced....
The official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S IV is only days away, but the increasing number of leaks may have already spoiled the party. Some images leaked yesterday of the Galaxy S IV that seemed a bit dubious, but then an official teaser image appeared from Samsung last night that seemed to back them up. Now a video has appeared on YouTube of what appears to be a dual-sim...
A fresh batch of photos that are allegedly snapshots of the Galaxy S IV Duos — a version of the phone that will apparently offer similar hardware — were leaked early Monday. There’s a bit of speculation that these pictures could just be prototypes of the Galaxy S IV, but the photos originated from a random forum user and we’re really skeptical about their legitimacy. The phone looks ...
I'm placing a bet now that Samsung's Galaxy S IV will be the company's best selling Galaxy branded smartphone yet. It might seem like an obvious wager, especially considering the success of Samsung's Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy S III handsets, and that's not even considering the popularity of the Note and the Note II. Still, we haven't even seen the phone yet, and there's always...
Despite a number of leaks we’re really still not positive what the Galaxy S IV will look like. Today, however, we might have a glimpse at what the internal software will offer on the AT&T model of the phone. Here’s what we do know: the phone is very likely to offer Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean and Samsung’s custom TouchWiz (Nature UX) user interface. If these images are legitimate, we...
