WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.359 this video is brought to you by the Corsair Voyager air the high performance 00:00:03.719 --> 00:00:10.960 wireless media hub for your connected life visit Corsair.com Voyager air to 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:14.839 learn more welcome to my video of the Samsung Galaxy S4 which is sort of an 00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:18.760 unboxing and more sort of an overview after me spending a weeken change with 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:23.880 the device and sort of what I thought of it so it's going to be featuring my cat 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.240 Galaxy which is actually not his name at 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:29.759 all and he's not going to be in the video so I'd like to start with my plain 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.600 white box which is a Press Box you don't get your Galaxy S4 in a box like this 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:37.160 and it won't have your name on it mine says line of Sebastian on it which 00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:41.440 happens to be my name very very cool okay so Slick's 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:44.879 operating the camera today so feel free to direct all of your complaints about 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:50.160 the camera work today to slick on the Forum um okay there's a micro SIM 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.600 starter kit I got a tus phone so it also gave me a bit of a chance to check out 00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:58.800 ts's Network cuz normally I'm a Bell customer so it was not that interesting 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.440 it was fine didn't really have any complaints uh we've got a Samsung 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:06.960 charger as well as a Samsung Dongle it should be noted that you'll get the best 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:11.600 charging performance using a genuine Samsung charger so that's something to 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:16.119 note and then I got actually I added this piece of foam myself the phone was 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.960 actually not in a piece of foam it was just in the box with all the other parts 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:24.799 loose but they never intended to ship it that way so it's uh so it's all good so 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:30.720 let's start with touch wiz's optimizations most Android users 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:36.159 probably won't care too much about particularly things like up here where 00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:40.479 you can see either this is great so this is more like what TouchWiz users are 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.360 going to be used to go back this is more like what TouchWiz users are going to be 00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:47.840 used to seeing right here with all of your toggles but now there's a whole 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.320 thing where you can get like 20 of them and they're all up there you can turn on 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:55.200 and off everything from Wi-Fi GPS and sound things that you would actually use 00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.680 daytoday to things like their smart scrolling Smart Stay um driving mode all 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:06.119 those kinds of things that normally you wouldn't touch too much but of course you have the option of seeing the whole 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.280 list or not seeing the whole list now there's third party apps to do pretty 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:15.040 much everything but not everyone's going to be capable of using them my mom for 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.680 example just went to Android and I mean 00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:22.640 even something like installing an app is Way Beyond her so honestly if I'd had 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.120 the choice I'd have been happier to give her something like an S4 if possible 00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:31.480 because easy mode would have made my life a little bit easier when it comes 00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:34.120 to helping her set up up so basically okay yeah yeah yeah will be applied to 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.879 your home screens all this stuff so it turns everything into nice big old 00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:43.000 people friendly buttons that they don't have to think about too much and you can 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:44.480 pretty much set up for them once and 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.000 then not have to touch it anymore I mean there's no way my mom calls more than like nine people so I could set all 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:54.680 those people up there for her and all she have to do is swipe to the left to make a call and swipe to the right to 00:02:52.519 --> 00:02:59.000 put on the basic apps that I actually thinks that she needs to use uh the 00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:04.080 proximity sensor is really cool now Samsung's integrated a lot of Technology 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.920 with the S4 that goes from profoundly 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:11.720 useful to profoundly useless um I think some of the highlights for me were s 00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:13.599 translate which I didn't use day-to-day 00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:16.799 obviously but if I was traveling it actually works pretty well the only 00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:20.200 languages that I can speak and understand are really English and French 00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:24.599 and at least that mode worked outstandingly well the one drawback is 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:29.920 that it does use data so if you're traveling unless you have a data plan 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:33.879 there you might find yourself not using it that much the proximity sensor I also 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.200 found was really cool the motion sensor so you can do things like call someone 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.000 once you've got them open in your contacts just by here we go so I'm going 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.040 to call I'm going to call myself once you have that person up you can just 00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:49.159 place the call by putting the phone to your ear it actually works but it's not 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.959 exactly a new feature by any stretch of the imagination and with things like 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.000 swipe to the right to call swipe to the left for text it's not exactly 00:03:55.079 --> 00:04:00.439 groundbreaking in terms of how much more quickly it's going to allow you to use 00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:05.040 your phone which I found was sort of my experience with a lot of the Samsung 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:09.720 features that they've added so one one one thing was uh waving to answer a call 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.319 if it was just kind of like this or you just like pass over it once then I could 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.400 really see the usefulness of it but the first time I tried to use it I realized 00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:19.680 you actually have to wave over several times you have to move quite slowly so 00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:24.479 for me it' be faster to just pick it up and go like this and answer my call um I 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.840 mean the the one implementation oh yeah and same thing with uh with sort of 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.600 browsing web pages and stuff like that so when you have the internet browser 00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:39.560 open I have like a Wikipedia page open here so you can you can browse web pages 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:42.720 like that but I ever since the Advent of 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.160 momentum based scrolling in browsers um 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.000 I don't really see a point in having something like that the one area where I 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:52.800 found this really useful is normally when you're moving applications around 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:57.600 on your device you would pick it up and then you'd kind of drag it somewhere um 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:01.039 whereas with this you can pick it up so you just press and hold and then you can 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.919 kind of go like this to decide which page you want to put it on but you can 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.080 see it actually sort of went backwards once when I accidentally did that for 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.680 the most part it was pretty intuitive and I found that was the most useful thing about the motion sensor in front 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.680 of the camera slick brought up an interesting point to me that if you have 00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:18.680 junk on your hands and you don't want to touch your phone then things like the 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.080 fact that the capacitive touchcreen can be operated even if you're not quite 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.840 touching it which I personally found to be more of an annoyance than anything else and I did turn it off pretty much 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:31.759 immediately because just to trying to scroll around on a web page it was 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:34.800 zooming in on things and telling me stuff about it and it was like oh no 00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:40.120 that's not actually what I wanted but if you're just trying to answer your phone while your nails dry personally I paint 00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:44.240 my nails all the time then yeah I can see the usefulness of that but it wasn't 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.520 something that comes up for me a lot so there you go uh the screen is widely 00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:53.680 regarded to be much better than previous pentile displays such as on the Galaxy 00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:56.880 S3 so while the Matrix isn't necessarily 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.800 one to one to one of every pixel color 00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:02.479 it is close enough that you don't have that same blurriness in the text and I 00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.800 personally didn't observe it at all and comparing side by side with the HTC1 I 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.880 don't notice that anything other than the fact that the Vibrance is like eye 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.759 blindingly vibrant which is a lot of people like that um I didn't notice any 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.960 problems with it compared to LCD the lock screen's been changed as well for 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.960 example you can do 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.840 this which is obviously useful but that's not actually sort of the 00:06:24.599 --> 00:06:30.880 Improvement so you can swipe to the right to get to some frequently used applications and whatnot and you can 00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:34.400 swipe to the left to get widgets for example which I personally thought was 00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:37.319 really cool it should be noted you like so many Android things like I mentioned 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.440 at the very beginning of this video a lot of the improvements Samsung's making 00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:45.360 can be done with third party apps but not necessarily everyone wants to do 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:49.400 that so let's get into the ergonomics and build quality which is something 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:52.880 that everyone's talking about with this phone because the most notable thing 00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:56.440 about it is that it's not really that different from the S3 I do find it more 00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:01.199 comfortable to hold than the S3 particularly the more square shape of 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:05.879 the side it was is less it digs into me a little bit less um also the the 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:10.039 rounded Corners compared to the HTC1 which has more sharp Corners that I 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:15.680 found dug into my palm a bit more I did find that more comfortable however the 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:18.080 overall rigidness of the chassis which 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:22.479 I've seen argued both ways as a feature and as a drawback so you can see I can 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:27.960 bend that phone um does a couple of things so number one is it makes it feel 00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:30.599 more like um more like an older phone 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:34.000 when especially if you come from iPhone which I did I was an iPhone 4 user for a 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:40.759 long time or you come from something like an HTC1 which feels like just oh 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:44.479 feels really really good um so the S4 has that kind of going against it but 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:50.840 I've also heard people say well come on it's the only phone right now with Gorilla Glass 3 which adds ruggedness 00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:55.400 and adds durability it's got a plastic chassis which means it'll absorb shock 00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:00.759 more easily when it's dropped so that's another prevailing Theory as well and it 00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:06.240 enables Samsung to do air hole let's see if I can come on at least 00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:09.400 it's harder to get off than the old one there you go you have to like really be 00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:14.240 dedicated to getting the back panel off if you want to and you can remove the back panel replace the battery which I 00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:17.560 don't see most people doing especially with those little portable battery Banks 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:21.319 I mean I carry one slick you carry one right yeah I mean especially with those 00:08:19.479 --> 00:08:25.759 around that's a great way to beef up he says he carries two um to to charge up 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.520 your devices I mean that works really well uh micro SD I didn't end up using 00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:34.200 but because I don't have one handy but I would it would have been nice it should 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.880 be noted that the stock Android or the not stock Android operating system on 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.320 this phone takes up 6 to 8 gigs of storage and if you have a 16 gig phone 00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:44.959 it's not a lot of storage left for things like movies and music and movies 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.880 particularly you are going to want to watch on the 5-in screen on this guy 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:52.640 because they look awesome uh there's your sim slot right there which doesn't 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:55.800 come out or go in unless you remove the battery which is kind of smart cuz they 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:02.160 don't want you changing that around and other than that the only other thing left on the back is the camera which is 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:04.399 13 megapixels and it's one of those 00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:07.519 things where you know you go go find side by-side images on the interwebs 00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:14.320 because they're all over the place but in a nutshell the S4 is able to take way 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:17.720 more Sharp Images than the HTC1 which guys if you recall has a 4 megapixel 00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:21.519 camera only but they're Ultra pixels they're big pixels can take way more 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:26.760 sharp pictures in broad daylight than the HTC1 but the HTC1 blows it out of 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:32.200 the water in terms of um low light performance so it's all about what's 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:34.120 more important to you on the side You' 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:39.240 got your volume rocker which I found way better than the HTC1 not nearly as good 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:42.440 as my older iPhone 4 because of how hard 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:44.440 it is to find it and correctly press it 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:48.040 when it's in your pocket that's when I'm usually operating the volume rocker of 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.399 my phone when it you know when I wouldn't be able to look at it and go 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.760 like this so being able to tell tacti 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.839 where it is and which way I'm pressing it is really nice HTC1 really suffers in 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:03.440 this way you've got your headphone microphone port on the top as well as ah 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.360 I emitter very very cool uh their their 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.880 s watch or whatever it is they call it I didn't end up using it because I have a 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:14.040 TV but I have no TV subscription no Netflix subscription no Hulu 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.640 subscription no YouTube subscriptions now that YouTube's paid I have nothing 00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:22.680 so I'm not much of a media consumption guy I've watched two movies since my 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:25.839 baby was born The Hobbit which was great except for the dwarves that were singing 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.600 for some reason I have no idea what was going on with that and yeah Lick's 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:35.120 giving me a face palm right now you know what it wasn't that great and then the 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:38.760 uh I also saw Skyfall which was just horribly disappointing I mean a Bond 00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:42.440 movie without a Bond girl people are like oh no she was the Bond girl yeah 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:48.519 for like four minutes I mean yeah to imply that James 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:53.880 Bond only needs a girl for four minutes is I think uh not a very fair thing to 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:57.240 say about his anyway so speaking of media consumption we have a bit of an 00:10:55.680 --> 00:11:03.279 interesting thing to talk about in this video if you could throw that to me this 00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:05.200 my friends is a book I got it 3 months 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:10.639 ago I have not even cracked open the cover so when audible.com reached out to 00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:16.040 us with an opportunity to

00:12:18.079 audible all right well apparently it's music now as well but there you go guys 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.040 check it out uh moving right along other 00:12:18.079 --> 00:12:25.600 bizarre features things like Sealth to me are one of those things where it's 00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:27.480 like we fit where the sales pitch is use 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:32.160 this device to be more healthy but the reality of it is is if you already had 00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:36.760 like the gumption and wherewithal to keep track of your life to the degree of 00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:39.279 detail that this application is going to require you to do it they want you like 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:42.839 taking pictures of your food and recording calories and and it's a 00:12:41.199 --> 00:12:45.920 pedometer which is kind of cool it has humidity and temperature sensor which is 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:50.240 cool but the kinds of people who would actually be doing that are the kinds of 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:54.480 people who are probably already doing it anyway and are probably fit and active 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:57.800 so I don't think that the S4 is going to be the difference between being someone 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.760 who sits on the couch and eats potato chips and the difference between someone 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:06.440 like that and someone who's like an active healthy individual I don't think that's going to happen but there you go 00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:10.160 it's kind of neat uh there's accessories coming that'll make it easier to use and 00:13:07.959 --> 00:13:12.839 more comprehensive but uh I think finally we're going to finish up with 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:19.199 the physical features of the phone so on the right side you've got the lock button which is a way way better 00:13:15.959 --> 00:13:20.639 position than the top left of the HTC1 00:13:19.199 --> 00:13:25.920 because nine times out of 10 I go to press this I mash the volume button so 00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:29.959 yeah there someone take a cue from that and the lock button is exactly how the 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:34.800 volume button should be because it's easy to feel and it has a nice tactile 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:38.440 press to it speaking of buttons Samsung hasn't done a way with the three button 00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:43.480 approach to the bottom so you've got your they went away come back uh so 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:47.000 you've got your context menu you've got much too Google's trigger in I'm sure 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.440 you've got your context menu down here your back button as well as your 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:53.639 dedicated home button there's one feature that I thought was cool but for 00:13:51.959 --> 00:13:58.160 some reason isn't working for me right now but if you hold the back button you 00:13:55.160 --> 00:14:00.000 can open up their multi- window display 00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:03.720 compatible application this comes over from the note to and it works really 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:08.279 well because of the high resolution screen well when I was using it but now 00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:12.279 it's uh not seeming to work for me right now for some reason but that's the way 00:14:09.880 --> 00:14:16.399 videos go is you want to demo something and it just kind of dies um the camera 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:19.839 the camera improvements are really really cool on this phone so there's a 00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:23.399 bunch of stuff that it does so there's all these different modes honestly if 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.959 you're using it in stock mode you might be missing out a little bit but I found 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:31.160 myself doing that a fair bit just and I'll explain why best face is cool so it 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:34.480 allows you to sub out bad faces this is great for when you're doing a group shot 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:40.399 so when you have time to Tinker with the phone and go oh I want drama mode which 00:14:38.079 --> 00:14:43.440 will capture a bunch of different pictures and then see you can see they 00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:48.000 have a little snowboarders an example like something like a soccer ball flying 00:14:45.800 --> 00:14:51.920 something along those lines eraser takes random weird strangers out of the back 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:55.320 um the other one that I thought was great which one best best photo and best 00:14:53.800 --> 00:15:00.800 face are the ones that I found most useful however what I to capture the 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:06.120 moment unless you're staging something or it's like a group picture where you're getting a bunch of people 00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:08.959 together I really found myself launching 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:13.720 the camera app and taking a picture quickly go go go go go because uh you 00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:18.199 want to capture that moment and because the shutter speeds so fast you can just 00:15:15.880 --> 00:15:21.399 go be you can do your own best picture and you can sort through it after on 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:25.360 your own that's what I actually found myself doing however it's cool that it 00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:29.560 has all these features and I like that they're a carryover from the Galaxy 00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:34.240 camera Samsung's talked a lot about KNX and the enhanced security that it offers 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.800 there was a great article from just in case on Android police where he 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:41.880 basically said look don't worry too much because basically what they're doing is 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:45.880 they're locking it down for the people who aren't Adept enough to get past it 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.839 but for those power users we're still going to be okay we can still load 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:52.519 custom kernels that don't do those Security checks so you can choose 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:57.160 whether you have the customizability or whether you have the locked down more 00:15:54.240 --> 00:16:01.800 secure device it remains to be seen how dedicated Samsung really is to keeping 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:05.880 things custom and how dedicated they are to making it well more locked down let's 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:11.600 get into a couple more of the motions and Gestures uh Palm motion I didn't end 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:14.680 up really using uh there's a couple cool things here though so you can mute and 00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:18.800 pause playing sounds when the screen is on by turning it over personally this 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:23.000 bothers me a little bit because I hate putting my screen down on anything but 00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:25.880 if I had a case for the phone then we'd be having a different conversation about 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:31.720 it they have a case available that's actually pretty cool has a little window so you can see notifications speaking of 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:37.040 notifications smart alert which basically will uh buzz when you pick up 00:16:34.839 --> 00:16:40.000 your phone if there's something new there you go I don't know if you guys 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:43.800 heard that but then it doesn't turn the screen on which is like okay that's 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:48.759 great Samsung you told me there's something new you didn't tell me what it was so now I have to press the button 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:51.959 anyway which means I'm it's probably easier for me like habit wise I already 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:56.759 just press the button immediately and look at my phone all the time anyway so 00:16:53.920 --> 00:17:00.920 so there's that uh what else stuff like voice control has always felt kind of 00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:03.839 goofy to me I use it much um if I used my phone when I was driving more then 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:09.640 that might be something that I would use and I did find that the voice recognition for text voice to text was 00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:14.199 outstanding uh better than anything I've really used in the past although again I 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:19.839 have always kind of found it Goofy and I haven't really gone out of my way to use it that much but it was something that 00:17:16.760 --> 00:17:23.480 was actually usable unlike other stuff 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:25.120 that yeah I've seen in the past all 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:29.440 share is still here I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it um their group 00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:33.440 play was really neat when I was at the Samsung demo and there were like five 00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:38.000 people sitting around a table with S4s you know playing poker um turning every 00:17:35.919 --> 00:17:41.520 phone into a speaker and like you know oh this is a center channel this is a 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:46.240 left and right channel um I've never found myself in a room with more than 00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:48.160 maybe two Galaxy users at the same time 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:51.840 particularly of the same model and the way that Samsung segments their software 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:56.240 across different devices has always really bothered me because from my 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:59.919 perspective I would think from their perspective it would be better for them 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:04.039 to have this technology be supported across all their devices so that it's 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:10.520 like the Samsung Experience as opposed to going well no the Galaxy S4 will have 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.600 4.2 and the Galaxy S3 will have 4.1 and 00:18:10.520 --> 00:18:16.760 they will be different because of that I mean there's no reason they can't roll it out to the S3 and yeah I'm still 00:18:14.360 --> 00:18:21.440 bitter about my wife's Galaxy S Vibrant which was the first Galaxy that never 00:18:18.520 --> 00:18:24.679 even got uh ice cream sandwich cuz Samsung said oh well there's not enough 00:18:22.919 --> 00:18:29.760 RAM and yet third party app developers could do it 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:31.159 so I don't know I mean using software as 00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:35.559 a way to differentiate platform to platform I was only slightly bitter 00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:39.799 about my iPhone 4 not getting Siri because everything else has been rolled 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:44.799 out all the way up to iOS 6 so yeah even Apple for three-year-old 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.960 plus devices is still rolling out all the software so it'd be great to see 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:53.480 Samsung try to follow suit but I understand that Android is a little bit of a different beast in that way group 00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:57.280 play on the other hand for things like sharing music to wireless portable 00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.760 speakers when compatible Stuff shows up is going to be really really cool 00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:03.840 I think that's pretty much everything that I wanted to talk 00:19:04.520 --> 00:19:12.400 about yeah I hope you guys have enjoyed this video um at the end of the day if 00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:17.159 you're looking for a conclusion um I will be sticking with my HTC1 it's all 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:22.600 about the trade-off do you want the more advanced features it's a faster 00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:24.640 processor 1.9 versus 1.7 GHz um do you 00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:29.039 want the high megapixel camera or the ultra pixel camera do you want things 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.720 like the gestures and the temperat and humidity Monitor and S Health and all 00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:39.280 these features that Samsung puts in to differentiate their phones um or do you 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:41.640 want something that really has that that 00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:45.120 feel like it's a serious business device I mean this is the first I've said this 00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:51.080 before in my ey switch to Android where I did 30 days with the HTC1 um coming 00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:54.159 from iOS to Windows Phone 8 now to 00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:55.559 Android um I've said this already but 00:19:54.159 --> 00:20:02.320 this is the first Android phone that I've really touched that feels like an Apple phone in terms of quality um also 00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:06.320 it was a huge step backwards for me going to a rearm mounted speaker again 00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:10.640 from the boom sound really boom sound uh but the front 00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:14.720 mounted speakers on the HTC1 um you know going back to cupping 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:19.600 my hand behind the phone just really felt like like like going a generation 00:20:17.159 --> 00:20:23.080 back in terms of the device so I'll take the ergonomic quibbles that I have with 00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:25.880 the HTC1 it's not perfect I hate the location of the lock screen and I really 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:29.480 don't like the way the volume rocker works for the overall higher build 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.760 quality although it should be noted that Beats Audio isn't something that a lot 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:36.679 of people have asked me if the Beats audio on is great it's not that great um 00:20:34.919 --> 00:20:40.799 iPhone 4 has better sound quality through the headphones than the Galaxy 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:44.039 S4 or the HTC1 from my experience for that matter so I think that pretty much 00:20:42.520 --> 00:20:48.960 wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing and really it was more of an overview of
