The days of Universal Remotes are well and truly numbered. It’s an app that uses the IR blaster of the Samsung Galaxy S4 to let you replace your home remotes with your phone. Samsung also plans to offer a heart rate monitor and a Smart weighing scale.Īlmost the opposite of S Health is WatchON. It’ll then sync with the phone once you get home. The S Band is a runner’s tool that lets you log runs without having the phone with you. This is just the beginning too, as you’ll be able to boost this basic functionality with a load of health-based accessories. It’s an exercise tracker that knows whether you’re running or walking. This is an app that’s designed to let the Samsung Galaxy S4 become part of your exercise regime. The most tangential of all TouchWiz’s new features is S Health. However, it can also be used for video chatting, which we’re absolutely on-board with. We’re not so sure though – the last thing gigs need are more people with their phones out. Samsung says this should come in handy when, for example, you’re at a gig. The camera app lets you capture video from both… at the same time. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has two cameras: a 13-megapixel snapper on the back and a 2-megapixel video chat sensor on the front. This is one feature that will take a bit of getting used to – but we can’t wait to give them a proper go. We expect you’ll be able to pick and choose the shortcut gestures you want to use in the Samsung Galaxy S4’s Settings menu. You can browse websites using this feature, change music tracks or even take calls. Taking the Air theme one step further, Air Gesture lets you perform tasks with gestures that – once again – don’t even involve touching the screen. It’s clever stuff, especially considering it doesn’t use a digitiser stylus like the Note 2, which performs similar feats. It’s used throughout the TouchWiz UI, to perform tasks like previewing videos, accessing speed dial favourites or magnifying content. Instead of touching the Samsung Galaxy S4’s screen directly, Air View reacts when your finger is hovering just above the screen. This new feature is interesting because it changes the way you interact with your phone.
Up to eight players can battle it out together. Big shot developers Gameloft and Glu have already optimised games for this service. Then, using Wi-Fi Direct, the handsets can play games and music together. Group Play again uses NFC to handshake between devices. Now we have something altogether more dynamic. First we got S Beam, which used NFC to handshake between phones for quick file transfers. Not only did it use the standard in its top phones, it found new uses for it too. Samsung rapidly established itself as one of the pioneers of NFC last year. This isn’t a feature that we can imagine using very often, but it gets a big old thumbs-up from us. Rather than having its own app, S Translator works with emails, in the ChatOn chatting interface and in your messages. It’s a translator service that lets you easily translate between languages.

After all, how many videos that you watch on a smartphone are things that really need your full attention?įancy yourself as a bit of a jetsetter? If so, then the Samsung Galaxy S4’s S Translator might come in handy. And just like Smart Scroll, it’s definitely a feature we’ll have to try before giving our full endorsement. Smart Pause will pause a video you’re watching when you take your eyes away from the screen. Unlike Smart Scroll, this features does involve eye tracking via the front-facing camera. It may not effect camera quality as such, but should mean we get a bit more control over camera settings. The interface is based around a dial of features that you flick through, a bit like the hardware dial on a “proper” camera.

It’s a sensible change given the Galaxy Camera used Android too. Remember the Samsung Galaxy Camera? Well the Samsung Galaxy S4 is going to get an interface based on that camera’s UI. Much more sensible than eye-tracking, eh? Originally mooted as something that would monitor your eyes for movement and scroll through text accordingly, it’s actually a feature that scrolls when you tilt the phone, using the device’s internal motion sensors. It wasn’t what we thought it was going to be though.

One of the most hyped pre-release software features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 was Smart Scroll. Here are our picks of all the best bits the latest TouchWiz has to offer. This brings with it a whole roster of new features for 2013. It uses Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but also has Samsung’s own TouchWiz UI on top. Lots of people get excited about new hardware, but it’s the software of a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S4 that really defines what it’s like to use.
