Oh! so you are not able to conclude that on your own? OK!! Do check out the pros and cons of Samsung Galaxy S4 in this article.

Pros of Samsung Galaxy S4

Outer Look is Good

What’s the meaning of having high-end device in your hand if it can’t add stars in your personality? Thanks to Samsung who cares for the outer look of its devices. The Samsung Galaxy S4′s look, at first instance, seems to be same of Samsung Galaxy S3. In fact, it is actually so to large extent, but not completely.

Display is Just Awesome

The 5-inch screen with 441 ppi pixel density is one of the best eye-catching points of Samsung Galaxy S4. 1080 x 1920 pixels is the resolution what is offered by Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen in Galaxy S4. A good reason for gaming and movie freaks to opt for this incredible device.

Processor

If you ask me to tag any of the pros as ‘the best’, then my vote will be for ‘Processor’. Come on, Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset, and Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor is not a joke!. It is far better than any of its rivals.

Camera

The 13MP camera is Primary and 2MP camera is Secondary. You might have seen such megapixels count before, right? But wait!! There is something unique. There is ‘Dual Shot’ feature. It enables both cameras to work at same time and click pictures or shoot videos simultaneously. Drama Shot, and some other camera features are also part of Galaxy S4.

Amazing Software Features

The new feature, the Smart Pause brings the smartness in the Smartphone by letting it know that when you are actually looking at the screen and when you’re not. Air View, Air Gesture, Smart Stay and many other amazing features add this point to the list of pros of Samsung Galaxy S4.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Cons (Problems)

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is powered by Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery which does not seem to be enough, as the processor is whopping eight cores. Though the company is claiming long battery backup, but the experts have a doubt on it. Their views don’t favor Samsung’s. If the battery backup does not come out to be good, then of course, it will be the biggest problem of Samsung Galaxy S4.

Many fans are also not pleased by the design. The Smartphone has been blessed with plastic body, which does not feel much premium. Galaxy S4 is going to compete with kinds of iPhone 5, which comes with Aluminum and glass body.  The finish on the surface of body is not good. Its rivals like iPhone 5 and HTC One have better design.

iPhone 6: Speculations And Rumours

The smartphone market is always buzzing with some news or the other. There are always new phones to be launched, each company trying to outdo the other by introducing new technologies and trying to lure in customers. Apple; the technology giant always manages to create a lot of hype before the release of its products. The iPhone 6 is no different and there have been many speculations regarding its release date and features.

iPhone 6 Release date & price

There is no end to the number of rumors regarding the date of its launch. If some rumors are to be believed it will be released later this year. However, many tech experts believe that this rumor is highly unlikely to be true. Many experts believe that the iPhone 6 is most likely to be released in June 2014. The rumors surrounding its release date has created confusion among customers who are not sure whether to wait for this phone or not. It would be early to talk about it’s pricing, but if we look at the previous launches, iPhone 6 pricing could start from $600 (without contract). As always, prices of previous models such as iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s will drop after the launch of iPhone 6.

Overall design and look

There are many rumors floating around regarding the look and feel of the iPhone 6. While some of them seem too far fetched and incredible to be true, one can’t help wondering what if? Some of the speculations include that the new iPhone 6 while have a transparent look! Some rumors claim that it will have a holographic screen, laser keyboard and projector! These rumors seem extremely far fetched but at the pace at which technology is going, it wouldn’t be too surprising if Apple did come out with a phone with all these features.

There are many speculations about the home button on the iPhone. The home button is a trademark of iPhone and some rumors claim that Apple is planning to get rid of it completely. While this is admittedly a bold and risky decision, it might just work out in their favor. The rumors say that the home function will be incorporated in some other way; most likely on the touch screen itself. There is also a speculation that the home button would be shifted to the side.

Rumors suggests that iPhone 6 will not feature the iconic ‘home button’.

The new model will also be the thinnest and sleekest of all iPhone models till date. According to the experts, iPhone 6 will have more upgradations in the software part rather than the hardware part.

Release of other phones

If the rumor mills are to be believed, Apple plans to launch cheaper version of the iPhone 6. It is also said that only a few limited editions will be released in the cheaper model. Also, the new iPhone 6 will be released in different sizes. This will certainly be something novel with smart phones. Not many smart phone companies have released different sizes of the same phone version. Most companies release only ‘mini’ version of the same model.
