Users can choose from a variety of frame effects which blend the two pictures naturally as well as outstanding shooting modes.

Samsung Galaxy S4 understands the value of relationships, enabling true connections with friends and family regardless of where you are; more than a personal device that can be enjoyed by one user, it allows us to easily share and experience many of life’s pleasures with loved ones.

‘Group Play’ enables users to enjoy music, photos, documents and games with those around them without requiring a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal.

Smart enough to detect your face, voice and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation, Galaxy S4’s ‘Air Gesture’ allows users to, for example, change the music track they are listening to with a wave of their hand. ‘Air View’ will preview photos and emails by hovering over the screen with your finger. ‘Samsung Smart Pause’ enables you to control the screen by where you look.

The S4 empowers your life by keeping you up-to-date with health and wellbeing information using the new ‘S Health’ application. The ‘Samsung Adapt Display’ provides an optimal viewing experience, customised for each type of application, and ‘Samsung Adapt Sound’ offers an optimal personalied level and type of sound.

‘ChatON’ offers a holistic communication experience by combining fun and creative text messaging with a high quality mVoIP/video chatting service. You can enjoy video and voice chat with up to two friends on a WiFi and mobile network, as well as switch from text chat to video/voice chat and vice versa. ‘Share Screen’ feature enables you to share your phone screen and the ability to control this with a friend.

Talking about the key proposition of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Chang stated: “The Galaxy S4 is a device that enables us to do more, it’s a companion that helps us experience life to the fullest and makes our life simpler and richer… That’s the promise of the Samsung Galaxy S4.”
