The Galaxy S4

Samsung created a new video that is 4 minutes which features the new functions of the new Samsung Galaxy.  The main goal that Samsung is trying to do is send the new Galaxy into the competition market, in which the main features doesn't really matter but the important goal is to make it look good, which is able to attract customers. Some evolution's of the Galaxy S4 has a thinner design, higher definition screen, which are all the biggest improvements from the S3. Although the design of the S4 still looks the same as the S3 customers still aim to have a phone that have a higher resolution, and a longer span battery system. The S3 got many feedback and some people think that keeping the design, will get the old customers back. Some of the built in software that is included in the S4 is the Air View, a software that is able to function work without touching the screen. The S4's media function is described to be very weird, in which it has dual cameras which seems to have no use at all. Samsung is hardly pushing the S4 to be successful because all of the S series seems to do compete very good in the smart phone market, and they give the users the same comfort but in an advances technology. Watch the video below to get a better sneak peek of the Samsung Galaxy S4.


Major Concepts

Potential Strengths/Advantages

There are many strengths in this article, in which the main strength is that author summarizes the 4 minute long video to be very precise and understand able, in which while I watch the video, I'm able to compare the features the author is talking and have a better understanding of the new smart phone. It's descriptions are accurate, and the author did a little bit of research on this phone too. Another advantage that the author had is using less complex vocabulary, which enables people at almost all ages able to read and understand the phone.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

There was one simple disadvantage in this article, in which the author didn't give the release date of this phone, or the estimated date of the release of this phone, in which if he had included this the article would be really perfect.

Discussion Questions

I would like to ask Mr. Pete, that will you be buying this new phone? I see that your black berry is very old, and I know that a tech guy like you would always get the newest technology, maybe this phone could be really useful for you. I would like to have a discussion with the class if this phone will be able to be boom in the smartphone market like the old Galaxy S3. This article is really interesting to read especially, about the new smartphone that will be competing with each other.
