Under the names gesture Into Air, Air view, S voice drives and Smart scroll lurk services that accompany the user for the entire day (battery allowing even if it’s been upgraded) from when you get up to when you are in office or car (there is a useful guide to the mode which relies also on the voice commands ‘s voice’). We particularly enjoyed Smart scroll, aka “smart scroll” with which you can automatically scroll through web pages and e-mail lists. S4 reads the movement of our eyes (in a more sophisticated way than is the case with the stand-by intelligent Notes 2, S III, and Note 10.1) and also operates through understanding the inclination and movement of the wrist. Sounds like magic, but it works really well. We hope even in the arrivals tablet.

And so more people can listen to the same song for example.

Into All this is made possible by a massive hardware equipment. In addition, the operating system is the new Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2. The latter has small but significant refinements compared to 4.1.2. Among other things, many devices will receive the update to this release and also between these Notes II, SIII and Note 10.1 will be updated in the future, along with S4, the next Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.

Ultimately Into the Galaxy S4 is considered the most sophisticated smartphones currently available and weaknesses reside in a price of 700 Euros (but did not increase S III), in a design (intentionally) very original and quality of materials (such plastic) that is not a miracle. But now there is a metal edge a little ‘less cheap chrome profiles of previous models.
