GS4 is not much better than GS3 only in terms of appearance. However, on the other hand, when we see the detailed configuration information, we can find that GS4 has a significant improvement over GS3, including every hardware configuration has improved, and many new software functions have also been added.

Now the competition in the mobile market can be said to be extremely fierce. GS4 needs to go through fierce market competition to keep its flagship crown of Android. Sony Xperia Z (here is our Video evaluation ）The first shot of the annual flagship battle was launched, and the following HTC One Although there is no impressive hardware configuration, it has a beautiful one-piece body. The competition in the mobile market is extremely fierce, but the Korean giant seems not afraid of it at all.

Now let's take a look at this flagship mobile phone, starting with its hardware appearance.

Appearance design and handle

The appearance design of GS4 has changed little compared with that of GS3. The phone shell still uses the same hyperglaze layer material as S3, and the plastic body has also encountered complaints. Now there is no doubt that GS4 will also face the same problem. In general, GS4 cannot be compared with the high-end design sense of Sony Xperia Z, let alone HTC One

In fact, this does not mean that the Samsung GS4 is weaker than its previous generation products. The new mobile phone has grid features on the body shell, which makes it look more fashionable and makes the whole machine more attractive. The narrower border leaves more space for the phone screen, and the 7.9mm slim body adds a lot of high-end feeling to the phone.

The size of Samsung GS4 can be said to be a "huge" achievement, which cannot be ignored. It is almost the same as the previous GS3 in height, 0.8mm narrower in width, 0.7mm narrower in thickness and 3g lighter in weight. However, the screen has been increased by 0.2 inches and equipped with a higher capacity removable battery. In addition, new sensors are added.

▼ Side comparison between GS4 and Note2

GS4 is equipped with the latest Corning third-generation gorilla glass - adopting new synthetic technology, Corning third-generation glass has enhanced radiation impact and scratch capabilities. Therefore, Samsung can still adopt a thinner design while retaining sufficient scratch resistance. In fact, in our early tests, the glass of GS4 is actually stronger and more reliable than that of GS3.

In general, in our real phone experience, the grip of the mobile phone is better than that of the GS3. The feeling of holding it in the hand is better than the 4.7 inch HTC One. Samsung has also proved to its competitors that a 5-inch screen does not mean that it will lead to a decline in grip.

1080p Super AMOLED screen can be said to be the favorite of geeks

Among the major updates brought by GS4, the latest 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED screen is the most important. Although it still maintains the Pentile arrangement, the 441ppi pixel density really ensures the screen's fineness.

Unless you watch with your eyes close to the screen, you can hardly see sub pixels even on the GS3, which means that the GS3 can basically meet the requirements of the naked eye. In addition, the PenTile matrix arrangement of GS4 has also changed, that is, now green The number of subpixels is blue And gules And the arrangement has also changed. For those who are not equipped with a microscope, this sub-pixel arrangement has little effect.

Perhaps the only thing you are dissatisfied with or concerned about about GS4 is the color display of Super AMOLED. The image quality displayed by GS4 is not the same as that of other smart phones in the market, providing extremely high contrast and almost perfect visual angle.

▼ GS4's Super AMOLED display effect is outstanding

Color saturation is beyond the reach of other LCD screens. To exaggerate, even the pictures with darker images will be displayed very vividly on this screen. If you are not satisfied with the color performance provided by Samsung, you can also choose to adjust the color to a more natural level. That means you can choose between bright colors and nature.

In addition, the brightness performance of GS4 has improved compared with other AMOLED phones of the company before, although it is not very high. However, due to the low reflectivity of the screen, the outdoor performance is not bad.

▼ Brightness is significantly improved compared with GS3, but there is still a gap compared with LCD panel mobile phones
