The following devices from Samsung are the costliest available in India. It doesn't mean they are the best selling phones or even top rated phones. These phones are listed here only because they cost big, really big. Not everyone can buy them, even if they wanted to.
01. Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 – This is one intelligent smart phone, coming with an impressive list of features to make any smart phone lover drool.
For starters, it comes with
Air Gesture – the next wave after touch screen.
Control your phone, answer calls, get a quick glance of contents of an email, enlarge photos, and more – without touching the screen.
Samsung Smart Pause – this smart phone understands what you are doing. While reading an email or a web page, you can scroll up or down with a slight tilt of the device. When you look away from your phone, the page pauses there and resumes scrolling when you come back and start reading.
Group Play – Share music with your friends who also have an S4. All the S4s form a single music system, suitable for loud and clear music for a party.
TV Remote: Connect your Galaxy S4 to your home entertainment system and it will suggest programs based on your preferences, gives you TV schedule and locates your favorite channels.
S-Health: Stay committed to a healthy lifestyle. S-Health will keep track of your daily activities, eating habits, workouts, and monitors your progress against various charts.
This phone has even more features like
Adapt Display (optimum display settings based on 7 automatic and 4 manual modes),
Adapt Sound,
ChatON,
S Translator (supports English, German, French, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean),
Samsung Hub (where you can download music, videos, games, etc).
S4 also comes with
dual camera. The 13MP, auto focus primary camera supports
full HD recording at 30fps. You may also want to shoot with both the primary and secondary camera simultaneously.
Sound and shot is a feature to record sound while taking a photo.
Drama Shot captures the action in a single shot – works better than a series of photos to tell a story. You can also
organize your photos as albums for special events.
Needless to say, at an MRP of
Rs 41,500/-, S4 is not cheap.
It is available for 35K at Amazon India:
