The Galaxy S4, Samsung's latest and greatest, has a cute feature
we'll probably see in a lot of phones soon: You can shoot both yourself
and your surroundings at the same time, using the front - and
back-mounted cameras. It's a bit like having a two-camera film crew
follow you around.
But other than that, it's hard to point to anything that will set
the world on fire in the new phone, revealed on Thursday at an event in
New York. The S4 has what you'd expect from a new smartphone: a bigger
screen and a faster processor. It may prove to be unfortunate that
didn't stop there when it presented the successor to its hit Galaxy S
III, because the phone has a grab-bag of features that don't come together as a pleasing whole.
The phone will go on sometime between late April and the end of
June period, from Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile
USA, US Cellular and Cricket, Samsung says. If history is any guide,
even smaller phone companies will get it, if not right away. The phone
companies will set the prices; expect this phone to start at $200 with a
two-year contract.
