Unlike the previous two years, I'm not as excited for the unveiling of the Galaxy S4 as I'm pretty much set on Sony's Xperia Z as my next phone, it's feature set is exactly what i need and has an incredible design to boot. If recent rumors are to be true, the new Galaxy will be once again made of plastic, and as i said in my last post, design and material has never really been an issue for me, but now i just feel that for a premium and flagship product, plastic just doesn't cut it. All other flagships at the moment from other manufacturers are made from glass, poly carbonate or aluminium, all premium materials and i think sets a standard for these expensive products.
I will be watching tonight though and there is every possibility Samsung will wow me enough to change my mind. With all Galaxy phones, beyond the plastic exterior, Samsung manage to include some brilliant technology and software which sets their devices miles apart from other Android phones. Last year's S3 saw the introduction of Smart Stay Eye Tracking Technology, Multi-Window, Pop Up Video Player, Pop Up Browser and much more and it's this level of detail and functionality that has made the Galaxy range so incredibly popular.
You can watch the event yourself right here, from midnight. If all rumors are true we should be expecting a similar design to the S3 but with a 1080p Screen, 2GB RAM, 13MP Camera, Octa 5 Processor and Wireless Charging. Software wise, leaks reveal an extension of Smart Stay called Smart Pause which pauses a video when you look away from the screen and Floating Touch which allows you to hover a finger over the screen to see information from and app without actually pressing it. For example, hovering over an album to see a preview of the photos in it.
If you plan to watch, let me know what you think in the comments.
