what's up everyone John render from technobuffalo hearing barbers are lifted we can finally talk about the samsung galaxy s4 I've had it for the better part of four and a half days not long enough to put together a full review to where I'm comfortable putting my name on something but it is plenty of time to share some first impressions show you some cool stuff the galaxy s4 has show you some new things that TouchWiz can do and not do and hopefully help you decide whether or not you want a pre-order or order the galaxy s4 let's go and get started alright so here is our galaxy s4 we've got it for sprint although oddly we don't have any carrier branding on our phone perhaps by the time these devices get to you though there'll be some sort of carrier notifications on here so I go ahead and run through the specs remind you what the galaxy s4 has you decide if it's the right phone free then I'll talk a little bit more about what's in it and all about cents and all kinds of other galaxy s4 goodness so it is going to ship with Android 4.2 which I give him credit for their able to get that on by the time these devices hit consumers hands for dimension standpoint it's five point three eight inches x 2.75 inches by a pretty thin point 31 inches while looking at the side here i will say the galaxy s4 now is sort of metal esque accents now there's still plastic but it makes the phone feel more significant in the hands implies a little bit better build quality at to me and device is definitely thinner than the outgoing galaxy s3 and it weighs a pretty lightweight 4.5 nine ounces so one of the big additions to the galaxy s4 is that gorgeous 5-inch 1080p display at super amoled plus here we keep track with what the technology is and that gives it a pretty substantial 441 PPI on the screen here does look gorgeous will cover all this a lot more in the review and I feel like I've used the device well enough but when I'm just online reading websites and browsing around the screen is absolutely gorgeous video text playing games ever might be the screen here really nice samsung as always nails their screens are going back to really the original Galaxy S and on so hats off the samsung for improving and already awesome technology 2600 milliamp hour battery aven't used this long enough to give my full impressions on the battery we've had it for about four and a half days now but I say though in my regular usage I am able to get through a full day with them bow and thirty to forty percent laughs but I want to put it through a little more stringent testing before I declare how good or bad at the battery life is so you can get this in two different versions the US version is going to come with a quad-core processor the international version you can get with an octa-core processor but no support for LTE that is in 1.9 gigahertz qua qualcomm snapdragon ship so it's pretty fast i mean quad-core octa-core nothing here is really optimized yet for you know for quad core or even octa-core so i want to get to cut up on the number of course your performance that was awesome and of course when do a full ready feel gaily tell you what all the quadrant scores aren't all that kind of stuff but this thing's blazing fast as you would expect an augmented with two gigs of ram you're never gonna have to worry about any sort of android lag or memory loss so we're not downloading some crazy bad apps so internal storage 16 or 32 but you've got a micro SD card slot that lives underneath the battery door here which is removable ah which is quite nice speaking of removable battery door and go ahead and do that same plastic that we've seen on other samsung devices it's no better no worse a little bit of what looks like a textured pattern on it but there isn't one sim cards gonna live right there and there is a micro SD card slot again we've got the sprint variety which supports their new LTE network and that's where that micro sim card is going to live you can also see the antenna and connection points for NFC which is also built into this guy snaps on just like the rest of Samsung devices do a few little clips and you are good to go cameras definitely improved here as well we've got a 13 megapixel sensor which takes full 1080p video and does a very good job at it and a 2 megapixel sensor on the front we're going to talk a lot more about camera in two separate camera videos up there's some cool stuff that goes on here inside of the camera like if you guys a bit of a sneak preview as it gets that full coverage so uh looks pretty familiar to what we seen on other samsung devices if you want to take videos go ahead and hit video hit that mode button though there's a lot of cool things that go on here so auto pretty obvious nothing really exciting their beauty face and hands facial features best photo I'll take a series of photos it's different than what blackberry has won they'll just sort of swap the head this one take a whole bunch of photos you can pick the best one actually recommend one with the thumbs up best face for a similar thing sound shot you can rinse pictures by adding background sounds for a few seconds kind of cool drama is sort of me you can see what's going on here if you take a picture of somebody running or walking across screen you can sort of see what that looks like animated photo and I'll walk you guys through all this in a separate video eraser erase when walking through the background panorama pretty obvious sports night on a few other settings but does a really nice job but one of the coolest things for me in camera I'll go and open up back up that you can use the front and rear camera at the same time so let me go ahead and show you i'll hit that middle button right there and you'll sort of see me there we go you can sort of see my face in a little heart as I'm filming you can see Ralph doing the phone will focus on him it's probably a little bit easier get that little arrow button you can choose all kinds of different little sizes and get out lines for what you want it to look like so if you want just an oval blur and you want to chat with somebody recorded video you can do it like that as you move it around just you get those four little box on the side which if you use Android for a while you know that'll let you resize it however big or how small you want so I'll drop that down select that you can make it bigger or smaller you can remove it obviously entirely if you want to but certainly a kind of a really nice addition that Samsung has done so we'll go ahead and close that a lot more talk about on camera but consider that a sneak preview an aperitif to the rest of the goodness of the camera can do here it can be coming to all major carriers in the US so t-mobile AT&T Sprint and Verizon one the few devices that comes everywhere so you're going to want to check what day is going to come to your carrier because it's different for all four but it will be coming so yay for that so it's got bluetooth and NFC the rest of the stuff you'd expect something walk you around the device snap that back all the way in here so it looks pretty on the left hand side volume rocker up and downs we've seen that from design standpoint something two different versus the s3 the save for a little bit of better screen on the right hand side you've got the power and lock button in the spot where Samsung legs to put it on the right if we continue the tour on the back there is at 13 megapixel camera LED flash presumably they'll be some sort of carrier branding on here galaxy s4 and speaker grill up top you've got a lot of port after you've got a 3.5 millimeter heads Jack it does have an IR blaster which looks right barely you think that might be a microphone but it's not the microphone is actually right there on the bottom that's where you are syncing and charging ports going to be and there is a noise cancelling mic as well and rounding out some of the cutting-edge features here of the galaxy s4 this has either 211 NAC which I can't even test for weeks I don't have anything that supports AC but certainly over the next two years your contract a lot of stuff might so there's that option as well as some new things here with sense you can see how folders are organized or kind of neat you get some nice animations in the pulldown instead of just seeing that row of 5 you hit that me upper right hand corner you can see a ton of stuff there's some cool things here to like air view which will let you sort of simulate we can do with an S Pen the best example I can show you if i unlock it and I lock the phone you can see in that little light sort of follows my finger I'm not touching the screen we can see it sort of follows where my finger goes and you can do that to get sneak previews of emails if you want to view text on a website or open a calendar item sort of a neat feature you can also do some motion stuff as well so let's say I want to move a widget let's say I want to move this google search bar so obviously i can just drag it and move it around if i want that any problem i go from screen to screen but you can also if you hold it down and it doesn't always work if you wave your hand across there from the side it'll move doesn't always like to work there you go you can see now it's screen to screen as I wave my hand across it so some kind of cool implementations for technology I don't know practically all are but there's super I on the cool front and it does work not a hundred percent as you saw but it's relatively accurate so there's a lot of things to like here in the galaxy s4 again I need a few more days till I feel comfortable putting my name on a full review but overall the experience has been very positive nothing giant difference from the galaxy s2 really the big difference is you're going to see here are in the camera and some of that camera stuff might actually still be coming to the galaxy s3 now while on paper it's a much faster phone the Galaxy s3 was certainly no slow phone so all things to open a little bit faster in quadrant scores are a little bit higher performance on this is pretty close to what it was on the s3 and every day you naturally they complement to the s3 and how good it was this is definitely an incremental upgrade but it's a nice upgrade and brings a lot of nice features really the big one for me is that gorgeous 1080p screen so stay tuned for our full review as I'll walk you through everything that this phone can do and not do I'll give you the full technobuffalo score any question things you guys want to see leave your comments down below I am jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo give this video a thumbs up we must definitely appreciate it and I'll see you in the next video you
