Tech'A Bite: The New Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500)

GALAXY S4 brings everyone closer together

The Samsung GALAXY S4 is all about 'togetherness'. It brings people

together when they're apart. Friends can share screens as well as explore

each other's favorite music, files and games. The Samsung GALAXY S4 not

only overcomes barriers of distance but also breaks down language barriers.

GALAXY S4 simplifies everyday tasks

The ultimate productivity device - the Samsung GALAXY S4 is designed with the well-connected, multi-tasker in mind. Call a friend, answer the phone, preview and scroll through emails and control videos without even touching the phone. When you connect your Samsung GALAXY S4 to your home entertainment system, it can suggest TV programs based on what you like. Access your personal HomeSync system from all devices and remotely share with friends and family.

The phone that adjusts to you. Not the other way around

The Samsung GALAXY S4 understands how important our health is. It can help achieve our fitness goals by monitoring your fitness levels during workouts and throughout the day. It also cares for our general health with sensors that automatically adjust the display and volume - depending on how you are using the phone - to ensure the optimal experience.
