hey everybody this is Chris Wolfe from Android Authority we're here at the s4 launch event in New York at Radio City Music Hall now what we've got here is the newly announced Samsung Galaxy s4 and the now kind of old hat Samsung Galaxy s3 now looking up the - as they step up basically the Samsung Galaxy s4 is more of everything except for or less of what you don't want for example it's lighter than the samsung galaxy s3 and I believe 130 grams compared to the s3 is 133 grams looking at pluses this runs Android 4.2.2 whereas the s3 runs 4.1.2 now getting into the hardware we actually went ahead and ran some benchmarks to see how the different processors work how they hold up to each other now the Samsung Galaxy s4 we're not sure exactly what processor is in here but we know that it's a Qualcomm processor with an arm v7 architecture and it's clocked at 1.9 gigahertz the Samsung Galaxy s3 came with two different chips depending on where you bought it you either ended up with a dual-core Snapdragon Plus or a dual core Exynos depending on which chip you had the the Exynos for example was clocked at 1.4 gigahertz and the Snapdragon was clocked at 1.5 gigahertz now looking at the benchmarks you can see that in terms of performance the s4 blew the s3 away looking at battery life the s3 had a substantial 2100 milliamp hour battery but in the s4 that gets an upgrade as well - 2600 milliamp looking at the cameras the s4 has a 13 megapixel camera up in the rear and a 2 megapixel camera in the front whereas the s3 had an 8 megapixel camera looking at the screens it's another upgrade in favor of the s4 the s3 had a 720p screen whereas the s4 has a 1080p screen with both of them being 5 inch displays you're looking at a dramatic increase in pixel density for the s4 looking at features at the s4 has that the s3 doesn't one of the most impressive is its new hopper touch feature which if you simply hover above a gallery or a movie that brings it up much like pressing the button or hovering on the s-pen did with any s-pen enabled devices alright that's about it for that we're going to keep bringing you coverage from the s4 launch event we have even more devices to compare for you and stay tuned
