Product Review - Samsung Galaxy S4

 Information from: Geeky Gadgets
Hey Guys,
So this is the first 'product review' for this blog and we are going to review the Samsung Galaxy S4. A lot of people say this is very similar to the S3 and they might be right but in my opinion Samsung is trying to make the phone simple and easy to use like the S3 but, tweak everything a little as to not make it uncomfortable, just more advanced and better.

Some of the popular features on the S4 are:


Weather. This is provided by AccuWeather.com and can be a little wierd at times because it sometimes does not update but when you go on the front page it has a certain kind of animation for the different days.

Photo Story. Photo story is a album kind of thing. You take pictures with the camera and then you can create a kind of album with it. Also the app gives you suggestions like if you take a certain amount of photos in a day it will give you a suggestion to put those photos in an album.

S Health. The S Health app provides you with a lot of information. The App has a lot of features like Walking mate which measures how many steps you take, Excercise mate where you enter how much you have done per day and it will tell you how much you have burnt in kcal.

Also the S4 has the Google Play store which has hundreds of apps to make your phone better. Unlike the app store the google store has more content for free but unfortunately it has adds and they can be annoying and you will have to pay just to get rid of that so it has its ups and downs.

The S4 uses android operating system

Also the S4 has a lot of customisable home screen and lock screen which is great. They are stunning pictures and look absolutely amazing with the full HD 1080p. The colours are bright and vibrant and the s4 has nice graphics and loads games and other applications fairly quickly.
