The BEAST

As the Galaxy S counter flips another digit, Samsung has hopes of getting an even tighter grip on the smartphone market, and reasserting its Android dominance. With two of the main rivals enjoying a head-start to the market, the Samsung Galaxy S4 would need to be something special to quickly erase their lead. Not to mention, it's looked upon to match, and outdo, its predecessor. And by the first impressions of the smartphone, that might be not be as tall an order as it sounds.

The new Samsung flagship improves on just about every aspect of the previous generation, coupling more powerful hardware with another handful of new software features. With a bunch of new sensors too, the Galaxy S4 aims to be your must-have all-in-one tool.

The main features in S4 include

1)      13 megapixel camera with simultaneous video and photo capturing

2)      Dual video call at one time

3)      2Ghz Snapdragon processor and 2Gb RAM

4)      Barometer, thermometer, hygroscope

5)      IR gesture sensor for Air gestures

6)      Smart gestures: Smart stay, Smart pause, Smart scroll

7)      Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic

8)      Ample 2600 mAh battery with great endurance

9)      7.9mm thickness

10)  Smart volume and Adapt Sound features for the music player

By now Samsung Galaxy S4 is the fastest and up to date cell phone available in the market. It has attracted wide range of audience and its sales are predicted to be double to that of its predecessor Samsung Galaxy S3 which was able to make its way as “World’s Best Smartphone” as well as hitting a homerun of selling 50 million units.

The Super HD Amoled Plus screen with 1080 pixels of screen resolution have set a new benchmark in cell phone technology. The following picture clearly represents that how Samsung was able to clean sweep its competitors.

One of the top Competitors of S4 are

1)      Apple IPhone 5

2)      LG Optimus G

3)      HTC One

4)      Sony Xperia Z

Apple:-

Apple is trying hard to compete in the competitive environment but is unable to gain market share because now almost every single cell phone uses Andriod Software which is user friendly and have many features to play with and Samsung with its superb resolution and faster programing have captured a great amount of market share from Apple.

LG Optimus G;-

The main issue with LG is its brand position in the market. People don’t take LG for granted and its new flagship despite of having many amazing features was unable to attract the audience and hence Samsung with is astounding promotion and a high level of budget for promotion was able to disturb LG optimus pro to a great extent.

Sony Xperia Z:-

Water resistant and dust proof smart phone with Sony Bravia Engine 2 was still not able to beat the beast and the reason behind that was the lack of consumer loyalty to brand as well as higher price of the product,

HTC ONE;-

Aluminum body with Beats Audio and 4 Ultra pixel camera HTC gave the biggest competition to Samsung Galaxy S4 but still could not beat the immense power and a bunch of gestures of Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy S line has produced some of the best smartphones over the years,

and the Galaxy S4 lives up to its legacy. Some consider it an evolutionary step from the Galaxy S III, others would go ahead and call it a revolution, there's the third kind too who insist it's a mere rehash.

Without getting into the semantics, I believe the S4 to be a worthy update over its predecessor, which was already one of the most capable smartphones around.

Let's run it down: the big 5" screen fits into a very compact body (same footprint as the Galaxy S III and slimmer), the new 1080p Super AMOLED matrix offers a significant improvement in image quality, the 13MP camera is one of the best around and, performance-wise, the Galaxy S4 will probably hold the crown until the Galaxy Note III comes around.
