Hands On With the Galaxy S 4

Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S 4 on Thursday and in advance of the big event, we got some hands-on time with the device.

On the surface, the Galaxy S 4 doesn't look very different from the Galaxy S III. The internals specs are similar too — though the Galaxy S 4 has a higher resolution display, a better camera and a new, slimmer body.

Most of the real features with the Galaxy S 4 are the ways that the software and hardware work together. For us, the real standout new feature is the camera. The Galaxy S 4 has a number of different shooting modes as well as the ability to use both cameras simultaneously. Samsung has a new technology called Air Wave that lets users hover over the screen with a finger to get contextual information.
