The U. As far as price goes, we fully expect Samsung to retain identical price tags from the Galaxy S3 in the Galaxy S4. Considering the growing number of reports saying Apple is working on a cheaper , low-cost iPhone, Samsung would be wise to bring down the price range for the Galaxy S4 to make its flagship smartphone even more competitive throughout Dave Smith is a reporter for International Business Times, where this article first appeared.

Magazine Aaron Connelly on the Rohingya Crisis. Who will win your smartphone loyalty? The Samsung Galaxy S4 is almost here. We present the latest buzz on what we are hearing. The brand did not radically change the design of the phone compared to the predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S3. Why would it?

Even so, look closely and you'll see definite style improvements, with straighter lines and a sleeker, more serious look to it. The S3 had swirly, curvy lines demarcating the chrome effect from the colour. On the Samsung S4 it's all straight edges, giving a more elegant and slightly more clinical look that is at once more demure and grown-up. And to be honest, it looks a bit more like the conventional design of other smartphones so whether this new design is better or worse is purely a matter of taste.

The curves at the top and bottom edges are less tapered this time, so the corners are a touch squarer, which is also more pleasing. Less of a lozenge, more of a rectangle with soft edges. But it's the same gloss plastic finish, so if you're keener on a more premium feel like the HTC One , you may feel this is a bit shouty.

Even so, it's a classier look than the S3, even on the back where the camera lens bigger this time has just the flash near it.

On the S3 the flash was to the left of the lens, the speaker to the right. Here, the flash is directly below the lens, both centred at the top of the handset. And the speaker grille is towards the bottom and off-centre, which looks neater. The design of the buttons has barely changed. The S3 wasn't big on buttons, sporting only a volume rocker on the left edge and the power button on the right. These are in the same places, but this time around the power button is a little bigger.

So is the volume rocker which is a little higher up on the left edge, but these are small changes but, we'd say, are all improvements. Like last year's model, this isn't a phone for petite hands. But Samsung has squeezed in a screen that's bigger than the S3's into a handset that's slightly smaller the dimensions are The change in depth is particularly noticeable and means that though it's big it doesn't feel unmanageable.

The display is 5in this year, against 's 4. Check out our Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 specs showdown Even so, this phone clocks in at g against the marginally heavier g last time around. Most premium smartphones these days have sealed-in batteries — without the need to finish the battery in a removable case it's possible to maximise the size and power of the cell — but Samsung has opted for a back that pops off. This has a big advantage because it means if you run out of juice you can pop in a replacement battery.

But it can mean that the build is less persuasive or creaks annoyingly when you flex the phone in your hands. In fact, there's precious little creak — this is a well-engineered machine. As before there are two colours, this time white and black. Both look good, though the white looks more lively and has a gentle, subtle texturing that you only see when you look closely.

As with any smartphone, you need buttons to supplement that touchscreen. Samsung, like Apple but unlike almost everyone else, has a physical home button on the front, making it easier to wake the screen.

This is especially important when the screen is as big as this phone. Reaching to the bottom of the display rather than the top right can make a palpable difference. Even so, you can go there if you prefer as the power button is towards the top of the right edge, as usual with Samsung phones. The Home button is a more symmetrical shape than on last year's model, though still standing slightly proud.

The headphone socket is in the conventional place on the top edge. Apple's iPhone 6 has it on the bottom. Why should this matter? Well, if you have a protective slipcase, say, you have to remember when listening to music to slide the iPhone into it the wrong way up, which is counter-intuitive. Better to make a statement with it, as the Moto X does by plonking it on top in the centre. This left-of-centre placement on the top of the S4 is unexceptional, but fine. Okay, deep breath, we've got a lot to get through.

This phone is choc-a-block with features. Last year's Smart Stay technology, where the front-facing camera would monitor your eyeballs and dim the screen when you weren't looking at it, has been enhanced. So now, if you're watching video and your peepers stray, Smart Pause stops playback until you look back again, at which point it smoothly restarts.

At first, this seems like a gimmick too far — pressing pause while you watch isn't difficult but in practice this It's activated by watching your eyes and your head, so it can see when you've turned your face away. That conversation which is annoyingly distracting you from watching the movie you've downloaded is less invasive because you're not missing a second of the film — it's waiting for you except it can take a second or two to stop the movie at times.

The same tech is used in conjunction with the accelerometer so that when you reach the bottom of a web page, tilting the phone scrolls the content up for you. You can also, and this is cool, tip your head to achieve the same result — handy if the phone is on the table. It works the other way if you need to scroll up the screen to read the top of the page again.

And there are other features which mean you don't have to touch the touchscreen. Pass your hand near the phone when it's in standby and the screen gently wakes, shows a near-dark background speckled with stars and reveals how many texts, emails or missed calls you have before turning off again. It's a neat feature. There are gestures which mean that when you hover your fingers near a contact in your address book it reveals more details without your having to open the contact.

You can turn pages by waving your hand nearby. At some point you have to ask why you'd want to do this, as after all it's not difficult to touch the screen, you don't have to press hard or anything. It could be useful if your hands are wet, or covered in sand or sun tan lotion, so beachside use of the S4 is one possibility. Or maybe you're following a recipe onscreen — now you can scroll the screen without your flour-and-oil covered hands smearing the display.

Or it's a gimmick. Take your pick. There's one more way not to touch the screen: the sensitivity can go up to 11 so you can use the phone with your gloves on. And after the spring the UK has had, you'll know that's important.

Why Choose a Multi-SIM Mobile Phone?

Nokia has it on many of its Lumia handsets but it's good to see the technology implemented here. S Translate is a built-in app that you may never need or which could save your life. It translates from English to Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and more. With some languages you're restricted to text on screen but on others you simply say what's on your mind and the rest is magic. It turns your spoken words into text and quickly translates them to the second language. Touch a speech icon and it'll say the words for you and is ready for your foreign interlocutor to speak back.
