There is no doubt, Samsung Galaxy S4 is the protagonist of the Android Smartphone market today.It will be revealed at NYC Radio City Music Halla - News from newyork.newsday.com. Samsung Electronics is taking to the Big Apple to reveal its next big challenge to Apple Inc.: a successor to its top-selling Galaxy S III smartphone.
Apple commanded 42.7 percent of the global smartphone market in Q4 2012, according to research firm Strategy Analytics, while Samsung came in second with 28.7 percent. Most notably, however, Samsung all but took over control of the Chinese smartphone market last year, trouncing both Nokia and Apple with more than 30 million units sold.
The timing of the S4’s arrival could spell trouble for Apple, which probably won’t have a new phone out until mid-year at the earliest, said Park Hyun, an analyst at Tong Yang Securities in Seoul. Apple’s sales growth last quarter was the slowest in more than two years, a sign the iPhone is losing its edge over other smartphones.

Now, let's concerned the news of Samsung Galaxy S4 what we are interested in.Expectations are, to put it mildly, quite high.

(1) Eye tracking: Eye-tracking uses the camera to lock onto the motion of a user's peepers, following wherever they move. With it, the phone can perceive where the user is looking, and can respond to a set of behaviors, let's say a very intentional movement to scroll a Web page up and down, or a long, purposeful blink to click.
If your eyes have reached the bottom of a page, eye-tracking software could automatically scroll you down the following paragraphs of text.
(2) Touchless controls: Like the gyroscope in most modern smartphones that automatically rotates the screen from vertical to horizontal when you turn the phone on its side, the S4 is expected to support a series of gesture controls that would allow the user to, for example, answer a call by simply lifting the phone to their ear or even to click icons by hovering their finger over the screen.
(3) Panoramic photos: Camera support barely qualifies as a smartphone feature anymore, but the rumored Samsung Orb feature on the Galaxy S4 might just breathe new life into this admittedly basic category by tapping Google’s (GOOG) Photosphere technology and allowing users to take 360-degree panoramic images with their phones.
(4) Hardware updates: It’s boring, but it’s true: Hardware sells smartphones. With that in mind, the S4 is expected to ship with a speedy quadcore processor, a 4.99-inch high definition AMOLED display and a 13-megapixel rear mounted camera. The device will also be available with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for additional space.
(5) Samsung Wallet / Mobile payments: Like Apple’s Passbook feature, which allows the user to store virtual purchases such as concert tickets and airline boarding passes in their iPhone, the new Samsung Wallet is expected to bring very similar functionality to the Android platform. The company also recently announced support for mobile payments via a new partnership with Visa, which will most likely roll out with the S4.
Hopefully the above information will help the Android fans or Samsung lovers out and if you have other more good news,let me know with your comments.
Good & fantastic....
