What's so great about the Samsung Galaxy S4?

The Samsung Galaxy S3 was a great smartphone. Its new sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S4, has taken that greatness to an altogether new level. 

For one, it is the first Octa Core smartphone. The Octa Core is the heart of the phone, the chip which keeps it powered. What this chip essentially does is, thanks to its dual processors, ensures that the phone does not eat into the battery power and, secondly, ensures smooth apps operations. For another, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has got eerie human-attuned features. For example, you need to take care if you are the type who uses a lot of hand gestures – a mere hovering of your finger above the screen will get things moving around!
