Top 5 Samsung Galaxy S4 Features!

2013-03-16
hey guys johnathan here with TLD back home after a really quick trip to New York City covering the unpacked event a little sleep had some time to process things and I am back with my top 5 galaxy s4 features if you happen to miss my hands-on first look I'll have that linked right below the like button so let's go to kick off the top 5 with s translator and I'm not a huge fan of s voice by any stretch of the imagination but s translator actually seems pretty useful it's integrated right into the Galaxy s4 and will translate both spoken words and text into various languages The Voice demo during the presentation seemed to work solid responded quickly and it's definitely something I could see myself using I also got a chance to check out the text translation in person which you guys can see right here it takes an email written in English and then translates it into German giving you the option to see both versions or opt for a full-screen view of the translation next up is smart scroll and a lot of you guys weren't sure how this worked it's a little tricky to show off in video but what it does is monitor your eyes to see if you're looking at the screen then you can either tilt the device away from you to scroll down or tilt the device towards you and it'll scroll up it is a little gimmicky but I can see that's being useful for example if you were reading the news in the morning while eating breakfast and this way you wouldn't have to use two hands to scroll through an article coming in at number three is air view and air gesture I'm going to sandwich these together because they go hand in hand air view is exactly what we saw in the galaxy note 2 but now work sans s-pen you can hover your finger over a picture or video for a quick preview or quickly read an email without ever opening it and without ever touching your finger to the screen now I've never been a huge fan of the stock TouchWiz email app but I'm not sure if it'll work outside of that on something like Gmail hopefully it will but for now we'll have to wait and see I also got a first look at air view being integrated in the Flipboard for Android and that was actually pretty cool you just simply hover your finger over a section and it'll give you a preview of the first three articles again without ever touching the screen now air gesture again it's something a little bit gimmicky not sure how much I'd use it but it's definitely one of those features you'd bust out to wow your friends and family you simply wave your hand across the screen to scroll through a photo gallery or you can use it within the web browser by waving up and down to scroll to the web page or even left to right to move across tabs it definitely does look futuristic not sure how that would look out in public you just got some people looking at you saying what the hell is dude waving at his phone for next up coming in at number two is the camera software on the camera software on the gala cs4 is one of the most impressive features on the device and definitely stood out to me navigation is stupid simple and we now see a UI very similar to what we saw on the Galaxy camera where you can click on the mode wheel to scroll through the different presets including panorama HDR or eraser mode which will take five consecutive pictures and allow you to erase someone if they happen to photobomb you like this guy or if you've got something against wheels you can always scroll to those presets in grid mode dual camera which is also new allows you to use both the front and rear facing cameras simultaneously while taking both a picture or even taking video now again I'm not sure exactly how much I'd use this but seeing how smoothly it worked selecting different borders or resizing it across the screen or real-time really showed how effortlessly the processor handled it and it was damn impressive lastly coming in at number one that is definitely the display 4.99 inches or they're going to round it up for marketing terms into five inches 441 pixels per inch full HD 1920 by 1080 now I did get some slack because it is using pentile technology and I haven't got a chance to compare it side-by-side with the HTC One all I know is that it definitely does look better than the Xperia Z from what I can see video looked extremely sharp and crisp and really clear it wasn't the best lighting condition so I really can't vouch for color accuracy and I did also get a chance to take a first look at the upcoming Fast and the Furious game for the galaxy s4 and that did look damn impressive regardless of pentile technology or not so thank you guys for watching if you did enjoy it and you're feeling like being awesome one of the easiest ways to help the channel out is by
