after months of rumors and teases we finally have our first lick at Samsung's next flagship phones I'm Jessica's all court for CNET and this is the Samsung Galaxy s4 now looks very similar to the Samsung Galaxy s3 that came before it has the same rounded shoulder design however it is different it is thinner just a little bit it's a little bit lighter and the back is also straighter comes in two colors this frosty white color and it will also come in a black shade for now this does have a 5 inch Super AMOLED HD display 1080p so it's Full HD it runs Android 2.2 jellybean that is the most recent version has Samsung's TouchWiz interface on top of that as well Samsung has added a lot more gestures and features on to this phone you can move your hand across the screen with some of these features enabled some of these things are what you've seen in the Samsung Galaxy Note tablets and smartphones one of those is air view specifically and that's where you can enable this and because this phone doesn't have a stylus you'll actually use your finger just to hover over so you'll be able to preview certain things we'll be able to preview pictures preview videos you'll be able to look at tabs with just your finger hovering instead of committing to opening it all the way there have been a lot of rumors about eye tracking and one of the implementations that we see here with the Galaxy s4 is called smart pause so if you're watching a video and you look away from the screen the phone will detect through the front-facing camera that you've averted your gaze and it will pause your video for you and resume your video when you look back if you've got your own separate pedometer or Samsung wants you to toss that away and use its s health app instead it can track your calories burned and your calories in when you tell it what you've eaten like the HTC One a competitor Samsung's Galaxy s4 has an IR blaster in the front that will boot up an app you can control your TV using it things like volume and even playing on-demand shows there are a ton of new camera features on here some of them have been borrowed from other devices there's just a bit of a difference in the interface so it's much more visual there are also more modes on here as well it will support LTE and wireless charging we here depends on the different market requirements so I take that as a soft yes battery is 2600 milliamp hours and there is 64 gigabytes of internal memory so overall there's a lot going on with this phone we have the updated specs that we were expecting the look and feel is definitely more evolution than revolution it looks very very similar to the galaxy s3 before but different enough that you can tell it is a brand new phone so stick with us we'll have much more to come I'm testing it all Curt from CNN this is the Samsung Galaxy s4
