Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 - Specifications. "Samsung Galaxy S4": phone characteristics, reviews and photos Updated user interface

Why were so many versions (varieties) of the Galaxy S4 released? What is their difference? Let's try to figure this out.

1) Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-i9190.

An optimal-sized smartphone that completely copies the design of the older model, but is cheaper and, as a result, has worse characteristics. This also applies to the camera (8 Mpx, not 13 Mpx like the flagship, weaker battery, less powerful processor), but the price is not so high.

• 2-core processor 1.7 GHz.
• 4.3-in. screen 540x960.
• 1 SIM card.
• Battery capacity 1900 mAh.
• The main camera is 8 Mpix, the front one is 1.9 Mpix.
• Built-in memory 8 GB + microSD support up to 64 GB.
• The average price is about 15 thousand rubles. on the Market.

Overall, this is a good option for those who want to own a new smartphone from Samsung, but are not inclined to shell out about 30 thousand rubles. for the senior flagship Galaxy S4. However, for the same money you can buy a Galaxy S3, which has not lost its relevance and has not become “outdated”.

2) Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-i9195.

The characteristics are the same as in the Galaxy S4 Mini, only support for LTE networks has been added. It costs a little more (about a thousand rubles).

3) Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Duos GT-i9192.

The same Galaxy S4 mini GT-i9190, only with 2 SIM cards. It is not much more expensive, but with 2 SIM cards it looks more profitable, although the battery capacity was left the same and it will discharge faster.

4) Samsung Galaxy S4 Active GT-i9295.

The housing is dust and waterproof according to IP67 standard. This means that the S4 Active can stay at a depth of up to 1 meter for as long as 30 minutes. And with the 8 Mpx camera you can get great pictures even while underwater! Since the touch screen will not work underwater, the regular buttons on the body are used to control the camera.

Characteristics:

• Processor with 4 cores Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 with a frequency of 1.9 GHz.
• Built-in memory 16 GB with microSD support up to 64 GB.
• Full HD display with a diagonal of 5".
• Battery capacity 2600 mAh.
• Supports 3G and LTE.
• The price is about 25,000 rubles.

5) Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500.

In fact, this is the most popular and best-selling smartphone today, a flagship model with 16 GB and 64 GB of memory, a 13 megapixel camera and a bunch of functionality. You can read about it in our reviews. You will find the characteristics of the Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 on this page: http://site/harakteristiki-galaxy-s4/

6) Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.

IN GalaxyS4 GT- I9505 added support for LTE networks and introduced it in Russia a little later than the main model. Samsung's policy is that both of these smartphones (3G and LTE) will cost exactly the same. When they added the LTE module, the manufacturers removed the 8-core Exynos 5 Octa chip and installed a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 with a frequency of 1.9 GHz. Along with it, the PowerVR SGX 544MP3 video processor was also replaced with Adreno 320.

7) Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-C101.

A very interesting and special version of a smartphone that looks like a camera. IN S4 Zoom as much as 16 Megapixels!

S4 Zoom has the following characteristics:

• screen diagonal 4.3?, resolution 540?960
• 16 MP camera, xenon flash, autofocus
• 8 GB memory, microSD memory cards (TransFlash)
• support Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, GLONASS
• weight 208 g, WxHxD 63.50?125.50?15.40 mm, acc. 2330 mAh

8) Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos GT-I9502.

The dual-SIM smartphone S4 GT-I9502 would probably have been popular in Russia, but it was released exclusively for China. However, nothing prevents you from ordering it from there and reflash it in your own way.

They also released their Galaxy S4 mini for the Chinese under the name Samsung Serrano. This model will not appear here, so we will not consider it.

As you can see, understanding the Samsung Galaxy S4 model range is not so difficult.

In fact, there are only four main types:

• Basic smartphone model (with 3G, LTE, 1 or 2 SIM cards).
• Mini version smartphoneS4 (same modifications).
• Galaxy S4 protected from dust and moisture.
• Galaxy S4 Zoom camera phone.

All smartphones come with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean pre-installed.

Why has Samsung released so many modifications of the Galaxy S4? Compared to the Galaxy S3, there are more varieties. Won't they be competitors to each other!?

The answer is pretty obvious. The Korean company Samsung promoted its “GALAXY” brand so powerfully that any of the models bearing this name was simply doomed to be sold. There was a huge demand for the Galaxy S4 and continues to this day, and this demand was already predicted in advance. We planned to sell 10 million copies of GALAXY S4 in the first month and sold without any problems! So why not take advantage of this and significantly expand the Galaxy line?

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 still haven’t opened this item in the general settings, 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-consuming part 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 features. 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. Take better 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.

First, 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 video, but not for photos. For best quality, 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. Of course, the Galaxy S4's screen is huge, but when watching videos I wish it was bigger. There are several ways to connect your Galaxy S4 to a big screen.

If you have a Samsung TV and are lucky enough to have AllShare Cast, then this is the easiest way to display everything you do on your smartphone on your TV 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 avoid 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 with a specific phone number, then the best way 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

By default, the Galaxy S4 lock screen 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 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 the adaptive capabilities of the Galaxy S4 display, but few discuss the ability to adapt 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 disable this option as soon as I get my hands on a 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 find yourself squinting and trying to see what's happening on the screen on a sunny day, don't forget to check the box for automatically adjusting screen brightness in the Quick Settings area.

Samsung has traditionally used various types of plastic in its flagship smartphones; 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.

The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 phone are 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 smoothed 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 is 5 inches, matrix type is Super AMOLED HD, screen resolution is 1920×1080 pixels, protective coating is Gorilla Glass 2, PPI value is 441. The advantages of the display are a large diagonal and 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. From a close distance, you can see red halos around the letters on the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S4, 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 a special power-saving mode in the browser, the color scheme changes slightly (for example, the white color goes into blue tones), but the battery life significantly increases when using the browser.

Interfaces

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

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. The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is superior to most smartphones, this applies not only to synthetic tests, but also to 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 of RAM. 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. S Memo app is a great note taking app with handwriting support. At the moment TouchWiz is one of the most convenient shells

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500, I9505) is the fourth and most anticipated flagship of Samsung. The smartphone was announced on March 14, 2013 and this event caused an unprecedented stir. When developing this device, the company took into account all the developments of previous years and created simply amazing software with a lot of functions and useful features.

Like previous devices, the Galaxy S4 has a plastic body. For many, this fact causes indignation and criticism, but let's find out - is it so bad? The Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone used stylish, glossy plastic with an interesting texture, and no matter how long the device was carried in a pocket or dropped on the asphalt, the damage was always minor. And you try to drop the Nexus 4 on the asphalt, with its glass cover, and see what happens.

The smartphone body is only 7.9 mm thick, with dimensions of 136.6 x 69.8 and a weight of 130 grams. It is assembled with very high quality and, even if one tries, one cannot find any creaks or backlashes.

Video: Samsung Galaxy S4 appearance

The smartphone fits a little tighter in the hand than its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, but nevertheless, holding the device is quite comfortable. Although, in order to reach the top, I personally have to move it in my hand.

The plastic feels very pleasant to the touch, although it seems more slippery than that of its predecessor, the Galaxy S3.

Screen.

The display in the Samsung Galaxy S IV is beyond praise. This is a full-fledged Super Amoled matrix with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080). This results in almost ideal viewing angles and rich colors. The pixel density is 441 ppi, which is, of course, much higher than the sensitivity limit of the human eye.

Video: screen in Galaxy S4

Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is installed on top of the matrix.

You can sing odes of praise for a long time, but this cannot be taken away - the display here is the best to date.

Camera.

The smartphone has a 13 megapixel Exmor RS matrix manufactured by Sony. This is one of the best cameras on mobile devices, and even in Sony's own flagship Xperia Z, the manufacturer uses a weaker sensor. As a result, the quality of photos on the Samsung Galaxy S4 is at a very high level. True, at the start of sales the software was somewhat crude and some users encountered involuntary reboots of the smartphone, but this is already a thing of the past. Below are a few pictures.

Photos from the camera

The camera interface is very convenient and now you don’t have to scour the settings to select shooting modes. Just press the button under the “shutter” icon and you will see a convenient wheel with scrolling modes.

There are 12 of them in total, and if you click on the icon in the lower left corner of the screen, they will all appear in the form of a grid.

List of camera modes:

1. Automatic (full automatic)
2. Retouching (photographing faces with retouching)
3. Best photo (several shots and choice)
4. Best face (choose from several faces - great for self-portraits)
5. Sounds and photos (photo with background sound for 9 seconds)
6. Series (continuous shooting)
7. Animated Snapshot (creates an editable animation from frames)
8. Rich Tones (aka HDR)
9. Corrector (removing strangers from the picture)
10. Panorama (great tool you can make 35 megapixel panoramas, example)
11. Sports (filming sporting events)
12. Night (shooting at night and in low light)

There are also a lot of settings here, but for video there are only two.

The smartphone is capable of recording video in Full HD resolution and does it just fine. Of particular note is the video stabilization system, which works much better than its competitors.

Video from camera Samsung Galaxy S IV

Iron and other characteristics.

The 2013 flagship is initially available in two versions with the indexes I9500 and I9505. Both smartphones differ in the presence of LTE and, as a result, in the processor. The eight-core Exynos 5 Octa 5410 cannot work on LTE networks and is used in the Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. It has 4 cores with a frequency of 1.6 GHz and 4 with a frequency of 1.2 GHz and it is worth noting that they cannot work simultaneously. We found out how productive this solution is in tests.

In the second version (GT-I9505), LTE is present, and the processor is an equally powerful Snapdragon 600 chip. The PowerVR SGX 544MP3 chip is used as a video accelerator. The amount of RAM is 2 GB. As for the built-in one, here we have 3 options: 16, 32 and 64 GB. True, the system in the Galaxy S4 takes up quite a lot and in the “youngest” version of the smartphone, out of 16 users, a little less than 9 GB is left. You can read why this is so at the link below.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the smartphone’s battery, because now its capacity is 2600 mAh, which is enough for a day of work under full load.

Software.

The device runs Android 4.2.2 with the proprietary Nature UX shell. As was already mentioned at the beginning of the article, Samsung has done a tremendous job and introduced a large number of various applications and utilities. In this review, I will not analyze each program, but rather I will dwell in detail on each application in the following articles.

Contents of delivery.

Actually, nothing much has changed here and the equipment of the S IV is quite standard and no different from previous flagships. In addition to a bunch of all kinds of “waste paper”, the smartphone comes with a battery, a 5 V 2 A charger, a USB cable and headphones with earbuds of different sizes.

Comparison with others.

If you are the owner of previous devices in the Samsung Galaxy line and are thinking about buying this “monster”, you will probably want to know its dimensions in comparison with your smartphone. A few photos taken together with the devices I currently have will help you with this.
