2013-03-18
ladies and gentlemen the samsung galaxy s4 the samsung galaxy s4 is slimmer yes stronger last hole yet more to see it is simply amazing we plan to roll out the galaxy s4 with the 327 mobile operators in 155 countries starting from the end of april the galaxy s4 is only one hundred and thirty six point six millimeters long x 69.8 millimeters wide and at a mere seven point nine millimeters it's mind-blowing ly thin and weighs only 130 grams and yet the screen is now a full 5 inches in other words there's less to hold and more to see and this is full HD Super AMOLED screen it's unbelievably sharp that's 441 PPI and we developed a new and innovative molding technology that creates this beautifully unreal polycarbonate material into stunning colors black mist and white frost the finish and craftsmanship really are something to see in fetal and this kryptonite case polycarbonate still cool and it's only it's a totally new and upgraded user experience that you get from this interface you can see how great it looks here I mean it's got such an incredibly slim and finely crafted look and see how thin it is there and check out what happens when you hover your finger over the lock screen this is all part of the new user experience upgrade and a new visual effects engine it's so much more alive than ever before and when you land that this beautifully laid out home screen the pure black bar at the top is gone and it's been replaced with a graceful translucent effect the point is to more subtly blend all that key indicator information like battery level and signal strength with the rest of the information on the home screen nice I love the layout the photo gallery it's got a real hip magazine look and feel to it yeah we've really spent a lot of time perfecting this look and feel but let's not forget what's under the hood starting with connectivity and the fact that this is set to go out as a 4G LTE device to be clear that's category 3 100 MPs downlink and 50 mbps up link up to hexa band I'm probably the only one in the room who doesn't know what that means so what that means is the galaxy s4 will support downloads at 100 megabits per second and uploads at 50 megabits per second go ahead as mr. shin mentioned before will launch this phone with TD and FTD dual-mode LD LTE a little bit later this year and it supports Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac and also Bluetooth 4.1 right we've also got an infrared LED so our remote control function so users can control their TVs with the galaxy s4 and enjoy Samsung watch on which gives you access to TV programming as well as aggregated video on demand services while we're here let's talk about the cameras yes the main camera on the back 13 megapixel and the front facing is too so all of your shop shots will be sharp colorful and true to life and we've got some great features on the camera that we're gonna get into in a moment as for memory and storage the galaxy s4 will ship with two gigs of LP ddr3 RAM it's got 16 gigs gigabytes of storage built in with options for 32 and 64 and of course a microSD slot that will give you space for up to 64 gigs more and then of course there's an array of sensors 8 sensors in total including standard ones like those you see behind me plus two new ones infrared gesture and temperature and humidity it's a lot of sensors we wanted to give users a device that will really understand what's going on around them and give them useful information that can enrich and fulfill their lives but now all that gadgetry has got to use up a lot of power we're constantly upgrading the operating system to find efficiencies but the main thing we did to make sure that you can make it through your day is build the galaxy s4 around a 2600 milliamp hour battery and it's removable so there's no shortage of power
