Review
India got
the GT-I9500 variant of the Galaxy S4, which features the Exynos 5 Octa 5410
SoC based on ARM’s architecture. The chipset consists of four Cortex-A15 cores
running at 1.6GHz and four Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.2GHz. Along with that
is 2GB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU.
One of the S4's best features is its
new full HD Super AMOLED 5-inch display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080
pixels. At this screen size, that resolution means an impressive pixel density
of 441ppi, which makes the pixels virtually indistinguishable to the naked eye.
The colours are rich and vibrant, and you get the latest version of Jelly Bean
(4.2.2) along with TouchWiz. The many additions to the gestures, thanks to the
smorgasbord of new sensors, eat into the usable on-board storage space, which
is just 8GB out of the total 16GB.The S4 is a quad-band GSM handset with 3G
support, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, GPS, micro SD card support up to 64GB, Bluetooth
4.0, TV out via MHL and NFC. This is the only phone to support the newer Wi-Fi
draft "AC" standard that's supported by a handful of high-end
routers.
The phone
has a 13-megapixel BSI sensor for the rear camera, and we even get a decently
large aperture of f/2.2. The camera performance is similar to that of the S3's,
although the S4 handles metering better. Lastly, the phone is equipped with a
much larger 2600mAh battery, which gave us an impressive run time of almost 9.5
hours. With a simple candy bar form
factor minus the tapering edges of the S3, the S4 has a uniform build, making
it more ergonomic. There is faux metal trimming around the edges and the bezel
around the display is slightly raised so you don’t accidentally scratch the
display if you place it face down. Besides the usual set of buttons and ports,
the S4 packs a barometer, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and an IR sensor
for gestures. The latter is a miniature version of the one used in the
Microsoft Kinect. There’s also an IR port on top alongside the headphone jack,
letting you use the S4 as a TV remote.
The Galaxy S4 is excellent, especially
in the media playback, camera tests and ergonomics departments. All this
awesomeness helped the S4 bag the Best Performance title.
