Unless you’ve been living in a cave then you’re bound to have heard
about the Samsung event later today where we will see the official
unveiling of the Galaxy S4 (S IV) smartphone. This is a massive deal in
the mobile technology world as it will be one of the biggest device
launches for 2013 and is likely to dominate the Android platform. Now
just ahead of that event we have heard of four videos that have appeared
on YouTube today that purport to show off the upcoming Galaxy S4 along
with some of its new features.
Regular readers will know that we’ve been posting about the Galaxy S4
for some time and from leaked specs and rumors we think we have a good
idea of what to expect. As is the way with most major device launches,
specs and features leak out slowly at first, gathering pace until the
device is finally made official and a good amount of the information
leaked usually turns out to be accurate.
The big Samsung event takes place later in New York and we have already given details on world times and live streaming
so if you want to check that out, please do so at the link. Back to
the videos then and these have been posted by iStevenCom and while we
cannot verify that they do indeed show the real deal, they certainly
seems to tie in with leaked images and other information that we’ve seen
so far.
The first video we have for your viewing pleasure is about the
floating touch technology we’ve previously heard rumors of, whereby the
user doesn’t even have to touch the screen to get the phone to respond.
The second video shows Internet browsing while the third shows the new
Smart Pause feature that we’ve also detailed previously that cleverly
pauses video if the user turns away. Finally the fourth video claims to
show the new lock screen of the Galaxy S4. You can see all of these
videos below this story but be aware you may not understand the language
although of course you can still see all of the features mentioned.
We’ll be closely following all of the developments of the Galaxy S4
event this evening and at last hope to be able to bring readers all of
the confirmed specs for the device and hopefully also pricing and
release details. At the time of writing there’s around 9 hours to go
before we will finally see the big reveal.
In the meantime we’d like to know what you think of the videos. If
you take a look then please do come back to us and tell us what you
think of the features shown. Are you hoping that this is the authentic
Samsung Galaxy S4? Let us know with your comments.
