As a Galaxy S3 lover and user, I could not wait to find out more about the upcoming Galaxy S4 phone. \u00a0Samsung touted the new benefits of the Galaxy S4 phone to the press in a pack-filled theater at the famous Radio City Music Hall in New York last week. \u00a0Is the Galaxy S4 bigger and more improved? \u00a0Yes, the new technical specs make the Galaxy once again the best in its class. \u00a0Here are a few specs to share:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nuts and Bolts:<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • a 5″ screen (versus the S3’s 4.8″)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • O.31 in thickness (versus\u00a0O.31 S3)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • the screen is 1920 by 1280 pixels, and 441 pixels per inch (compared to 306 on the S3)<\/li>\n
  • 13 megapixel camera (the S3 has 8 megapixels)<\/li>\n
  • Android Jelly Bean (4.2.2) operating system<\/li>\n
  • big 2600mAh battery (much bigger than the S3’s 2100mAh battery)<\/li>\n
  • quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor<\/li>\n
  • 2 GB RAM memory<\/li>\n
  • SD Micro slot to expand memory up to 64GB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A phone’s specs are important, but really, once you own the phone, how are you going to use it and what makes it worth the upgrade? \u00a0Samsung knows how integrated our phones have become in our lives. \u00a0We use our phones for entertainment, capturing memories, play, and often times, it’s our lifeline to trying to make our chaotic world less frazzled. \u00a0With this in mind, Samsung is introducing a slew of new features to make our lives more productive, playful, and connected.<\/p>\n
