Samsung galaxy s4 camera specifications. The entire range (all versions) of Samsung Galaxy S4

In their flagship smartphones Samsung has traditionally used various types of plastic; this solution has both positive and negative sides. On the positive side, it is worth noting the light weight (130 grams) and thickness (7.9 mm) of the device. Negatives: The glossy plastic is completely impractical and quickly becomes covered in fingerprints and scratches.

Dimensions Samsung phone The Galaxy S4 is typical for five-inch smartphones - it is wide and tall, so it is not very comfortable to hold in the hand, but the situation is partially improved by the weight and thickness, which are lower than many competitors, as well as the rounded corners in the body. Compared to the (i9300), the dimensions of the S4 have not changed much, but the display diagonal has increased.

Screen - 4.4

Display diagonal - 5 inches, matrix type - Super AMOLED HD, screen resolution - 1920×1080 pixels, protective coating - Gorilla Glass 2, PPI value - 441. Pros of the display - large diagonal and a high resolution, excellent brightness and contrast. The screen will appeal to lovers of bright colors. Cons: Super AMOLED technology, which makes the image too contrasty; not everyone will like it. Up close on the screen Samsung Galaxy S4 you can see red halos around the letters, however, most users will not notice them (by the way, since the Galaxy S3 they have become less noticeable due to the high resolution). An indirect advantage of using Super AMOLED is the energy-intensive screen, which is why the Samsung Galaxy S4 lasts longer on a single charge than many competitors.

Camera

The smartphone has a 13 MP camera with LED flash. The maximum resolution for video recording is 1920×1080 pixels, recording speed is 30 frames per second, sound is recorded in stereo mode.??

Working with text - 5.0

The standard keyboard in the Samsung Galaxy S4 is comfortable, it has a function for entering text using strokes (Swype), as well as the ability to enter numbers without switching to additional symbols mode. Disadvantages - an inconvenient language switching system: you need to hold your finger on the space bar and swipe left or right. To enter most additional characters, including the comma, you need to call up an additional menu. Another disadvantage worth noting is the relatively small size of letters in the Russian layout, despite the large diagonal of the screen.

Internet - 3.0

The device's browser is great for browsing the Internet: it has a separate mode for reading pages without pictures. According to user reviews, this mode is convenient to use when reading large amounts of text on the Internet without being distracted by pictures. But there is no adjustment of text to the screen when scaling multiple times. The Galaxy S4 (as well as the entire line) uses special mode energy saving in the browser, the color scheme changes slightly (for example, White color goes into blue tones), but battery life increases significantly when using a browser.

Interfaces

The smartphone supports most common wireless interfaces: Dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. The device has S Beam, which allows you to quickly transfer files such as photos, music or videos from one Galaxy S4 to another when Wi-Fi assistance or NFC, placing them back to back.
LTE support is present only in the version of the smartphone with the chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 600.

Multimedia - 4.6

Samsung Galaxy S4 plays almost any video without preliminary conversion - the device has support for rare audio formats and video containers. In the player you can select audio tracks, as well as subtitles embedded in the video file. The audio player plays most common as well as rare formats, including uncompressed audio in FLAC format. At the moment, the Galaxy line is one of the best in terms of the number of supported audio and video formats and video player settings.

Battery - 2.9

The smartphone has a removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh. We tested the battery in our two standard tests: the device is capable of playing HD video at maximum brightness for 7 hours, and listening to music discharges it in 45 hours. Indicators of autonomous Samsung works The Galaxy S4 is superior to most smartphones, not just synthetic tests, but also for everyday use.

Productivity - 2.5

The device uses the Samsung Exynos Octa 5410 platform with an eight-core processor, PowerVR SGX544MP3 graphics subsystem and 2 GB random access memory. It’s worth telling a little more about this platform: it uses big.LITTLE technology, which controls the operation of the device’s cores. This chipset actually uses two different quad-core processors (one clocked at 1.2 GHz and the other at 1.8 GHz). The point is that during everyday use the less powerful processor is responsible for the work, while in games and other “heavy” operations its more productive “colleague” is switched on.

For the average user, this means a slight increase in battery life and that’s all. You most likely won't even notice the switch between processors.

The characteristics and power of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will allow you to watch Full HD videos and play even the most powerful games. We tested the Galaxy S4 in Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3: both games launched perfectly and ran smoothly even at maximum settings.

Separately, we note that there is a modification of the device based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, which supports Russian LTE frequencies.

Memory - 4.0

The internal memory capacity of the device is 16GB or 64GB, depending on the modification. Samsung Galaxy S4 supports microSD memory cards up to 64GB. Thanks to the presence of a memory card slot, the user does not have to worry about the lack of memory in the device.

Peculiarities

The device runs under Samsung's proprietary shell - TouchWiz. In this shell, the manufacturer added its own browser, dialer, SMS client, music and video players, its own weather application and many other programs. The built-in video player supports most third-party video codecs and video formats, making it convenient to watch even unconverted video from your phone. The audio player allows you to listen to music not only by artist, but also by folder. The S Memo app is great program for notes with handwriting support. At the moment TouchWiz is one of the most convenient shells

It has long earned credibility among buyers and even has its own loyal fans. There are many models of a wide variety of equipment in the line. Smartphones from this well-known company are especially popular. In this article we will look at one of the most common models today - the Samsung Galaxy S4. specifications which is still of interest to many, despite the fact that the phone is not a new product of the season.

Appearance

It is the design of the device that is an extremely controversial topic. After the model was released on world markets, many complaints appeared against the Korean manufacturing company regarding the device. The thing is that visually the new product was practically no different from its predecessor. In fact, this is one of the main problems of the entire series of Samsung smartphones. There is no design at all; all products are made in the same style, as if the manufacturer is deliberately trying to depersonalize his models. Characteristics of the Galaxy S4, with regard to external design, are in many respects similar to all descriptions of the design of devices from the company. The flagship has simple, streamlined on all sides, uncomplicated shapes. The device is smooth, like its plastic body and gloss, so unloved by users because for constant scratches, does not deter from purchasing it. It is surprising that even despite such a faceless design, the Samsung Galaxy S4 (the technical characteristics of which cover all the shortcomings of the case) remains in the top of the best-selling models in the world. Cunning Korean manufacturers are no worse than you and me understand that appearance- is far from the most important factor when choosing a phone. The company frankly states that it has no plans to change its strategy in the near future. However, perhaps this should be done, especially with such production capacity. Compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S4, whose characteristics are largely identical, has slightly less rounded corners, a slightly wider bezel and a different flash location. The dimensions and weight of the device remain unchanged. Innovations include materials: fashionable polycarbonate has replaced ordinary plastic. This is good news because there is a chance that the new case will be more scratch resistant.

Ease of use

The model's keys and connectors remain in place. The side frame framing the display has been slightly reduced, which made it possible to fit the characteristics of a larger screen into the same dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S4. This is certainly commendable, because big screen Everyone will like it, but the huge size confuses many. I am also glad that back cover remained removable, that is, the user has the opportunity to independently replace the battery, insert a SIM card without additional devices, etc. Initially, the phone came in two colors (black and white); a little later, colored cases appeared, which allows everyone to choose a gadget in their favorite color scheme.

Screen

Once they take a path, Koreans invariably follow it. The new Samsung Galaxy S4 (screen size 1920x1080 pixels) is equipped with a Super AMOLED display. Diagonal - 126 mm, full and more than 441 pixels - pixel density, really pleased buyers. In general, the screen is quite good, the brightness is quite sufficient, wide viewing angles are definitely a plus, the smallest elements on the display are clearly visible. The screen is touch sensitive. The Samsung Galaxy S4, the characteristics of which are discussed in this article, has another interesting feature - the ability to control the sensor while wearing gloves. This is very convenient, especially considering the harsh Russian winters.

Camera

Let us immediately note that the experience in creating cameras accumulated by the Korean company over many years was not wasted. The new smartphone has a good camera. Of course, this directly concerns the photo processing algorithm itself, because Samsung’s Exmor R (camera module) was developed by Sony. A matrix with BSI back-illumination and a resolution of 13 megapixels is used. There is also one aimed, as a rule, at creating self-portraits and video calls (its resolution is 2 megapixels). The manufacturer promises users the ability to shoot simultaneously from both cameras. An interesting addition will be software that can compose and process the received materials, creating entire stories accompanied by a sound track. There is no dedicated photo button on the body, but this is not required, because you can release the shutter using the volume key. In general, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is equipped with a fairly high-quality camera. Characteristics in numbers for many do not carry any practical information, so you can view photos taken by the flagship outdoors and indoors.

Performance

The smartphone's hardware platform is based on the powerful Exynos 5410 Octa SoC. It includes 2 quad-core processors (ARM Cortex - A15 with a frequency of 1.9 GHz and ARM Cortex - A7 with reduced frequencies of 1.2 GHz.). The application option proposed by the company is obvious: under heavy load, the first one is used, and for those tasks that do not require significant computing power, energy-efficient cores are replaced by top-end cores. As for image processing, here the Samsung Galaxy S4 (the graphics performance, as already mentioned, is decent) supports the specialized graphics core PowerVR SGX 544MP3.

Autonomous operation

The flagship is equipped with a removable battery, which can be extremely necessary, for example, in situations with a swollen battery (which sometimes happens) or in cases of long trips, when it certainly wouldn’t hurt to get a second battery. The smartphone also supports a function that is indispensable for all advanced users. The specifications will tell you in more detail about the capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S4 battery:

  • Internet. With Wi-Fi turned on and the browser page refreshed every minute, the gadget can withstand about 8.5 hours of operation. All this at 70% brightness and power savers turned off.
  • Reading. In conditions of disconnected wireless networks The phone stays charged for 10.5 hours with automatic page turning.
  • Video. Continuous playback is possible for 10.5 hours, in contrast to Samsung, whose characteristics are slightly lower (6 hours of battery life in the specified mode).

In general, it can be noted that the battery life of the flagship is satisfactory. However, you have to constantly monitor and disable unnecessary services. In this regard, the phone is similar to powerful smartphones from other well-known manufacturers. If you constantly keep all applications and services turned on, charging will barely last until the evening.

"Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos" (specifications)

In fact, this is a smaller copy of the Galaxy S4. Everything is a little smaller here: the screen, the body, the camera resolution, and the performance. The main advantages of the model are compactness, a more affordable price and, of course, the ability to install two SIM cards at the same time. This moment is often decisive when choosing a particular smartphone. In modern conditions, when you need to constantly be in touch, it is very convenient to have one device and several SIM cards in it. This allows you to save on calls between by different operators and do not carry several devices with you.

Notes

With constant use, the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone (the characteristics were discussed in detail) produces problems with the camera, which were subsequently corrected in the new firmware.

Like most powerful phones, the top of the lid does heat up, but this is only under heavy load.

There are also some complaints related to the Super AMOLED display and the difficulty of using it on a sunny day.

conclusions

The Galaxy S4, like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, whose specifications are slightly lower, are certainly high-end smartphones. The company does not disappoint its fans and continues to produce quality products.

As for prices, everything is standard here: the starting price at the beginning of sales is 30,000 rubles, but it rapidly falls with the release of new models. If the main thing for you is not the appearance of the device, but its practicality and “filling”, you can safely purchase Samsung. For many years, the phones of this company have been among the best and are the main competitors of IPhone, Sony, HTC and others.

On this page we will look at the varieties of the popular Samsung smartphone - the Galaxy S4 model. These devices are essentially a real family, maximally adapting to the needs of the consumer.

Galaxy S4

The flagship of the 2013 smartphone line, the Galaxy S4, is distinguished by a truly “multi-core” processor.
Eight cores provide the phone with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. and a large 2 GB of RAM is a real space for the necessary calculations.

Note that the model has a 5-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (analogues - HTC One, Sony Xperia Z), a 13 megapixel camera, and huge amount interesting features implemented in this model and discussed on a separate page dedicated to the Galaxy S4.

Galaxy S4 Active

Another representative of the well-known series, the Galaxy S4 Active, has the same size and screen resolution as the model discussed above.

He doesn't have that much bright screen(TFT technology is used here, unlike Super AMOLED in the Galaxy S4), however, the phone is interesting for its protection from water and dust.

The phone has a 4-core processor with a frequency of 1.9 GHz and an Adreno 320 graphics accelerator similar to the above-reviewed model.
The main camera installed in the S4 Active has a resolution of 8 megapixels and supports video recording in high definition format 1080p 30 fps. The front 2-megapixel camera can also record video with the same quality.

Galaxy S4 mini

Everyone likes the smartphones discussed above, but many people like more compact devices that have good functionality and also support work with 2 SIM cards.

Unlike the models discussed above, S4 mini has a built-in
FM receiver, which has a certain value for online music lovers.

Note that the model has 3 modifications - I9190 - with support for 1 SIM card, I9195 - 1 SIM card plus work in 4G networks (LTE) and version I9192 - with support for 2 SIM cards (working in alternating mode) and without LTE support.

Galaxy S4 Zoom
It's hard to even call the Galaxy S4 Zoom a phone - any camera
“he will see his reflection as in a mirror, and the reflection is stylish and quite functional.

The device has a 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS matrix,
having a resolution of 16 megapixels. Optical image stabilizer,
10x optical zoom and xenon flash are quite a serious requirement for obtaining high-quality photographs.

The device has interesting system control using an additional ring on the lens. Rotating it can quickly turn on the camera and set the desired shooting mode; you can also zoom using the ring. (We also recommend that you get acquainted with the first experience of such Samsung models- Galaxy Camera).

As for the built-in memory, all models have several modifications with different values ​​of these indicators. In any case, the presence of a slot for memory cards (supporting cards up to 64 GB) allows you to have enough large volume memory.

If you are the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4, then you probably have a desire to get maximum pleasure from your smartphone and maximum productivity. Well, you have a great chance of it. It’s not for nothing that we tried to collect 10 basic tips that will help both Android oldfags and newbies. You probably use most of the tips yourself, but what if you missed something?

1. Speed ​​up TouchWiz

There are two types of people: those who don't want to sacrifice functionality for speed, and those who will do whatever it takes to get even a small performance boost. Luckily, we have tips for both types of users.

If you don't use S Voice often, then this is probably a top tip for you. You will definitely notice that there is a slight delay in the response of the smartphone when you press the Home button and the home screen does not appear as quickly as we would like. By default, the Galaxy S4 works with the S Voice option, which is launched after double-clicking the Home button. If you don't need the option, you can open Voice and disable the "Open with Home button" option. Now the home screen will appear instantly after pressing “Home”.

The following advice applies to those who like to delve into system settings. If you don't mind losing some visual effects to increase speed, you can change some options in the "developer menu". Firstly, if you have not yet opened in general settings this item, you can unlock “Developer Options” by going to Settings -> Advanced -> About device. Scroll down until you see the build number and click on this item 7 times.

Now go back to the back button once and enter the Developer Options menu. Go to the section called “Drawing” and disable the following items: “Window animation scale,” “Transition animation scale” and “Animator duration scale.” Now the smartphone will work without unnecessary animation effects, but TouchWiz should now work a little faster and respond instantly.

2. Increased battery life

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a 2600 mAh battery and this is enough to last the smartphone all day, but it's nice to know that the battery life will allow you to last longer without connecting to a charger.

First of all, you can switch your smartphone to economy mode. That is, you need to open Settings / My Device and you can now turn the processor into power saving mode, the screen into battery saving mode, and even disable haptic feedback (CPU power saving, Screen power saving and Haptic feedback). For maximum results, we recommend using all 3 points.

If this is not enough, then there are several other options that, after disconnecting, will allow the smartphone to work longer. The most energy-intensive is data transmission on the mobile network. But it all depends on how you use your smartphone. You can choose any of the following options to disable if you don't use it: BlueTooth, S Beam, NFC, and options like Air Gesture or Smart Scroll. All this is very easy to enable/disable in quick settings.

Customizing the Notification Panel

All quick settings are available to you immediately as soon as you pull your finger down on the notification panel. This is the easiest option to enable or disable various functions. The only problem is that you won't be using all the options at the same time. Luckily, it's easy to change this and set some options first.

First, open the notification panel. In the very top right corner, click on the icon that looks like several squares with two arrows. Now click on the pencil icon that appears on the right.

Now all you have to do is drag the icons whose functions you use first to the first 5 positions. You can also scroll through the notification panel and view other settings, but it is much more convenient if the most necessary settings are at your fingertips.

4. Do the best photos

We all often see the praised features of the Galaxy S4 camera on the Internet: Drama Shot, Eraser and others. This is, of course, interesting, but you will only play with these features once or twice, and therefore you will not need them all the time. Instead, let's dive into the settings and do everything necessary to make the Galaxy S4 take better photos.

Firstly, open the camera app and tap on the settings button. Of course, you'll want to resize the photo. By default, the Galaxy S4 shoots photos in a 16:9 aspect ratio and at 9.6 megapixels. This aspect ratio is great for shooting videos, but not for photos. For best quality you need to set the photo size to 13 megapixels and use the more common 4:3 setting.

You can also change Burst Shot, Face Detection, ISO, Anti-Shake and Auto Adjust to night options. Of all of them, we will pay attention to ISO. At a lower ISO setting, your photos may be darker, but they will be clearer and sharper. As you can imagine, ISO allows you to take better photos in low light, but at the cost of adding visual noise to your photos.

Connecting a large screen

Sometimes you wish the screen was bigger. Undoubtedly, Galaxy screen The S4 is huge, but while watching videos I wish it was bigger. There are several ways to connect your Galaxy S4 to a big screen.

if you have Samsung TV and you're lucky enough to get AllShare Cast, then this is the easiest way to display on your TV screen everything you do on your smartphone screen. Just go to Settings / Connections, scroll down the window and find the “Screen Mirroring” option. Now all you have to do is wait and find available devices to connect to.

However, with another connection option, you can avoid delays in image transmission and there will be no lags. And this is the use of MHL. You'll need an 11-pin MHL adapter for this because the standard 5-pin adapter simply won't work with the Galaxy S4. Samsung has been selling an official MHL adapter for the Galaxy S4 for a long time. Just connect it and run HDMI out and you can see everything on the screen, even running games from your smartphone.

Monitor connections and communications

Samsung Galaxy S4 has two different options for access control - we mean distinguishing incoming calls and setting parameters for who can contact you and when.

Firstly, Blocking Mode is a great option for those who want a good night's sleep. To find this item, go to Settings / My Device and scroll down a little. In this mode, you can turn off incoming calls, notifications, alarms, and even the indicator light. Either enable this option manually, or you can set it to turn on on a specific schedule.

If you want to configure your smartphone to work only using a specific phone number, then The best way This is Call rejection. To find this item, go to Settings / My device and open the Call menu. The most common configuration method is to create a “black list”. Just enter the number, check the box next to it and that's it. You can even set it to automatically send a message to the user explaining why the call was rejected.

Setting up the lock screen

Default screen Galaxy locks The S4 is nothing interesting or functional. However, if you can't come to terms with it and want to say “stop putting up with this!”, then there are a couple of ways to improve it.

To get started, open Settings / My Device and select Lock Screen. First, you need to check the “Multiple widgets” item, that is, whether the ability to use multiple widgets on the lock screen is enabled. You can also select application shortcuts that you need to quickly launch directly from the lockscreen. By the way, there is also a submenu with a choice between several options for displaying the lock screen.

Now the fun part, lock your smartphone and now check your lock screen. By swiping across the top of the screen, you can open the camera widget (on the right) or add your own widgets (on the left). Everything from Gmail notifications to Google Now is available to you.

Make more funny videos

If you want to capture everything unusual that happens around you, then the Galaxy S4 camera is natively suitable for this. You can even get a little creative with this and there are several ways to improve and spice up your creation.

First, open the camera app and tap on the camera settings icon at the top of the screen. Now select the icon that looks like a small video camera to open the video settings. You'll see options ranging from "Normal" to "MMS Limit," but there are also options like "Slow Motion" and "Fast Motion." And they are designed to do exactly what you think.

If you have one of these options checked, you will notice a pop-up icon to the right of the camera icon. This will allow you to shoot in fast or slow mode. Slow Motion lets you shoot at 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 the normal time, while Fast Motion lets you shoot at 2x, 4x, or 8x.

It is worth noting that both options negatively affect the quality of the video being shot. It's fun though.

Use Sound Adaptation

Many people talk about adaptive abilities Galaxy display S4, but few people discuss the possibility of adapting the sound. First of all, I remembered the sound settings on the TV - movie mode, music mode, etc. But I was wrong.

Audio Adaptation is an option that checks your audio and your headphones' audio and then adjusts audio playback to focus only on the frequencies you can actually hear. To find this menu item, go to Settings / My Device / Sound. Scroll down and find Adapt Sound.

Plug in your headphones and start the test. This basically involves playing a series of sounds of different pitches to test which frequencies you can hear and see if there is a difference in hearing ability for each ear. The entire test will take about a minute at most. Once the test is completed, you can check the result and be surprised by it.

Personally, I found that the sound was clearer and clearer with the Audio Adaptation option enabled.

Use automatic brightness adjustment

If you use the auto-brightness setting anyway, then this tip won't be meaningful to you. But I usually turn off this option as soon as I get my hands on new smartphone. I prefer to manually control the display brightness level as there is a pretty good reason for doing so.

The Galaxy S4's screen has one of the largest brightness reserves to date, but you won't be able to set the brightness to maximum manually because it's likely intentionally limited to prevent burn-in or other damage to the display. There is no such problem with automatic brightness adjustment. The next time you squint and try to see what’s happening on the screen on a sunny day, don’t forget to check the automatic configuration screen brightness in the quick settings area.
