Samsung galaxy s3 vs s4

Features

There are a myriad of software and nifty little features that sets Galaxy S4 apart from its antecedent. Take for instance Dual Camera which takes synchronised photos and videos from both its cameras and meshes them together, Group Play that make games, music and videos more interesting and fun while sharing it with people around you via wireless connection.

Air View makes you use your fingers to preview contents in the gallery, videos, mail and S-Planner without having to open them. And Air Gesture that can change music soundtracks, scroll in a webpage or accept a call, all with the wave of your hand. Samsung Smart Pause controls and adjusts the screen by using your eyes. Not to forget,S Health to track your fitness record and S Voice Drive— a hands-free voice controller.

The S3 had Smart Stay, Direct call, S-Beam and S-Voice that set it apart. Given, S-Voice needed a lot of work but other features on the S3 were quoted as “trend setters”.

So it’s not that the amount of features set the two apart rather the increase in inventory which makes the S4 a viable choice. But it also must be remembered, features aren’t the only reasons that users buy phones or change the ones they already have.

Spec differences

To put it shortly, the S4 looks bigger, feels bigger (and thinner) with slight upgrades on both hardware and software levels. Major, if it can be called that, is that the S4 is 0.7mm thinner and is 3gms (130gms) lighter than its precursor. It packs a high-res 5-inch 1080p screen, a shift from the 720p on the S3, coupled with better juice in the battery (2,600 mAh) and a 13MP camera over the 8MP one.

In the processor department, the S4 will follow in the footsteps of its 2012 counterpart. Like the Galaxy S3, the S4 will be made available in two different versions. While one model will run on the 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series processor, the other will be powered by a 1.6GHz eight-core Exynos 5 Octa silicon processor.

While the synthetic benchmarks will give the edge to the S4, the S3 still holds its own as a powerful device, and is more than able to handle heavy processing and applications with a cinch.
