Samsung Galaxy S4: The new king?

At first glance, this year’s flagship of Android, Galaxy S4 cellphone looks a lot like the last year’s Galaxy S III model.  Although, when we looked more closely, it became clear that improvements in design do exist – the newest addition to the Galaxy S brand of products at the same time has both bigger screen and battery, and is also thinner, a bit smaller and weighs less than its predecessor. For this feat, Samsung should be lauded, although we suspect that good part of this accomplishment is due to implementation of Gorilla Glass 3 protective screen. It’s thinner, but at the same time sturdier, with a greater resistance to scratches, although if numbers are to be believed, it’s also more fuscous. The “inspired by nature” design choice of rounded edges, present in Galaxy S III, is less pronounced here, corners are sharper and the rim isn’t wavy anymore, rather it has the same scope everywhere. The said rim also has another two strengthenings which serve to additionally simulate a metallic hoop, but are still made from plastic. The edges are higher than the screen for a space of less than a millimeter and the whole of the device is covered with a layer of hyperglaze, as is the case with its predecessor, which under the transparent surface has a lattice of thin lines, whose purpose is to change the monotony of large, white-colored surfaces.
