Samsung S4 release may put Apple into challenging situation

 Samsung S4 release may put Apple into challenging situation

The newly featured Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone may put Apple under pressure to rethink about its pace of developing new models and its entry into the cheaper devices. Galaxy S4 featured with the Samsung’s usual Android Jelly Bean, having even larger screen than Galaxy SIII. The device also has a 13 megapixel camera as compared with the 8 megapixel camera in Galaxy S III. It has some special features also, it can start and stop the video depending on whether you are looking at the screen, can respond to the wave of your hand and can flip the songs. It is not correct to say that Apple is far behind but yes, Apple has to rethink about its new launches or to launch new devices frequently. Samsung was the leading brand in the year 2012, by covering approximately 33% share of the smartphone market. Samsung continue to influence the market and is trying to kill the competition by frequently introducing its new devices every time with some new features. Apple needs to broaden its portfolio and play impressively in smartphone categories as trend of such devices could soon be saturated and move into new trend like smart watch.

iPhone 4S

iPhone 4S

When Apple announced the iPhone 4S, it's testament to the power of the rumour mill that people were angry it wasn't called the iPhone 5, which is now a real device. Predictably the iPhone 4S is no longer the iOS handset we recommend, but it's still a worthy choice in the smartphone game thanks to some decent upgrades through iOS 6 (although the less said about Maps, the better...). Siri voice recognition has shown itself to be slightly more than a novelty and has been upgraded to actually become useful with the new OS, and the screen technology is still top notch. We were hoping for a larger display (which we now have with the iPhone 5), and things such as a lack of Bluetooth transfer, no Flash integration with the internet browser and an uninspiring contacts app still grate - but they're no match for the sheer ease of use and general operation of Apple's OS if you're talking to one of the fans. The only reason this phone is so low in the rankings is the fact it still costs so much to buy, despite being years old now. Quick verdict A decent camera, slick platform and superb display are still the things we look for in a phone, and the iPhone 4S delivers that. It was one of the most expensive phones on the market but sadly hasn't dropped much in price (otherwise we would have kept it higher up the rankings) so think about whether you really want its high-end features, since the iPhone 4 is a cheaper alternative still. iPhone 4S review Compare the best iPhone 4S deals

Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia Lumia 900

Android could learn a thing from the nearly bloatware-free Windows Phone – the Nokia Lumia 900 brought together a big screen and an excellent OS. It was a triumph of design for Nokia at the time, but has since been superseded by other polycarbonate-clad handsets; not least by Nokia itself during the intervening period. It's a shame the camera hardware doesn't live up to its software – there's so much more that can be done here. It's not as exciting as it once was, as we have the fancy Nokia Lumia 920 on the market - plus that brings 4G and the next version of mobile software through Windows Phone 8, where the Lumia 900 will always be stuck on Windows Phone 7.8 Quick verdict The Nokia Lumia 900 certainly isn't an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy beater - but it's a decent Windows Phone device that's not too pricey. If you're a fan of a simple interface with some quality add-ons, then you should definitely look at Nokia's older flagship. Nokia Lumia 900 review Compare the best Nokia Lumia 900 deals
