The Samsung Galaxy S IV isn’t just packing upgraded hardware and an iPhone shattering 5-inch 1080p HD display. Several new software features were added with the camera being up first, benefiting from some of what you’ll find in the Galaxy Camera:
- Cinema Photo which captures still images from moving backgrounds
- Shooting in Drama Shot burst mode, you can create animated gifs
- Eraser mode removes unwanted background objects or people
- Sound & Shot mode adds audio to the background of still images
- Story Album automatically groups photos based on details such as location or time
Air View, a feature once found only in the Galaxy Note II, gives you a pop-up window preview of content when you hover over certain apps or menus. For users on the go, S Health in combination with new sensors, helps you stay fit. Samsung’s voice recognition app S Voice now includes S Voice Drive which allows you to navigate and get to places without ever having to look at your phone. With the Galaxy S IV, you’ll even be able to translate nine different languages via text or voice.
Another feature that piqued interest is Smart Scroll which utilizes the front-facing camera and scrolls based on the direction your eyes move. Furthering the eye-tracking technology, Smart Pause will pause a video if you happen to look away. You can check out the video below which shows off the Samsung Galaxy S IV and its new features.
