Samsung Galaxy S4: Tips and Tricks

While the world debates as to which is the better smartphone between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, one area where the Samsung has managed to strengthen it’s hold is the User Interface. Hands down, the TouchWiz UI from Samsung is one of the best custom Android experience you can get on a smartphone. 

With the Samsung Galaxy S3, the company introduced a new set of “Smart” features and one of the most notable of those features was “Smart Stay”, which kept the screen turned-on if a user was looking at it, irrespective of the screen settings.

This year, with the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S4, things only got better on the software front and the company introduced many new, interesting features for it’s TouchWiz user interface. 

So, lets take a look at all the new features (and some old ones as well!) and see, how well they work on the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Air View

Well this isn’t exactly a new feature, as it was introduced in the Galaxy Note series, but what needed an S Pen in Galaxy Note 2, can be done with a finger on the Samsung Galaxy S4. Samsung has ported its Air View feature from the Galaxy Note series to the Galaxy S4, allowing users to preview the content of emails, photos and videos by hovering their finger over the display.

Air Gesture

Along with Air View, the Air Gesture functionality allows users to change a music track, scroll around a page or accept a call by waving their hands in front of the device’s display.
