There's been a lot of speculation about just how many Galaxy S4 phones Samsung has been able to sell since its launch some 6 months ago.  While the company announced an initial milestone of 10 million a scant month or so after release, we haven't heard anything since as far as concrete numbers.  In fact rumor had it that after initial demand was satiated, the sales volume fell of a cliff so much so that the company was rushing to have the Galaxy S5 ready for launch perhaps as early as this January!   

Well folks, it seems the naysayers and doubters were well...full of baloney because Samsung CEO JK Shin just revealed that not only has the company's flagship phone been selling just fine, it actually sold 20 million units in only the first 2 months on the market...and over 40 million during the first 6 months.   Now those are some impressive numbers folks and they don't even include the S4 derivatives such as the S4 Active or Zoom! 

Now compare this to the previous generation Galaxy S3 which sold 30 million units in its first 6 months of availability and it would seem that the S4 is in fact quite a success.  Now it is of course possible that the company had even loftier sales goals in mind...but 40 mil ain't nothing to sneeze at.

If you've been watching tv lately you might have noticed that Samsung has come out with a new line of commercials promoting its newest addition to the Galaxy S4 family...The Galaxy S4 Active.  The theme of the commercial is pretty straightforward...the S4 Active can pretty much take whatever you throw at it and it's ip67 water and dustproof rating will keep it humming along.  In the ads we see various scenarios from a dunk in the pool, to being buried in sand, to an inadvertent coffee spill or drop into a bowl of flour.  Each time the S4 Active comes up working perfectly.  You can even dip it under the sink to clean it off.   There's several variations of the ad...the long form 20 second spot up above and several shorter 15 second versions which we've linked below.  What do you think of the S4 Active ad campaign?

AndroidAuthority does their latest bang-up job in reviewing the Galaxy S4.  Starting with the physicalities, the S4 is both slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the Galaxy S3...while having a larger screen...a full 5 inches with Full HD and 441ppi.  Useing Samsung's Super AMOLED technology really pops the screen colors and the high resolution ensures everything is sharp.  The Snapdragon 600 quad core processor powers the Galaxy S4 and in word...it's impressive, one of the fastest phones on the market.   The removable battery and MicroSD are again incredibly useful and the S4 includes a boatload of sensors...in fact more than any phone before including such stapes as gps, wifi, nfc, but adding a barometer, temperate gauge, rgb color sensor, infrared gesture sensor and compass.  It also includes an IR blaster to use the phone as a remote control and specialized software that utilizes the various sensors and make them useful truly make the software additions useful on the S4.  There's much more so watch the video and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

In a strange, but pointed ad meant to show somehow that Apples just aren't meant to be used for communicating, Samsung has released this strange but entertaining ad in Iceland where we go from a lone Apple bearer finding a way to join a group of Ninjas in a dance routine.  We're not exactly sure how we get from frustrated Apple sufferer to Galaxy 4 bearing Ninja dancer to goats, but it's all in fun nonetheless.   We also don't speak 'Icelandic', so if there happens to be someone of northern German heritage on the site that wants to translate the verbiage in the ad please feel free to do so in the comments.

The Galaxy S4 Active gets the full on Mobile Tech Review treatment  in the video above and not surprisingly we find out that it's really almost identical to the regular Galaxy S4 but with the added ability to withstand water up to a meter deep for 30 minutes as well as being somewhat dust proof.  Lisa does her usual stellar job of walking us through all the software and hardware details and while the phone is a tad thicker than the normal S4, the added water protection as well as metallic look back makes this a preferable purchase, especialy since it is available at the same $199 on contract price at AT&T.  Now make no mistake this is not a 'ruggedized' phone...you still can't drop it without worrying about breaking the gorgeous 1080p screen, but that water resistance sure is nice.  You can see the full written review at MobileTechReview.com

The world's fastest superphone...or at least that's how it's being billed as we see the LTE-Advanced equipped Galaxy S4 leaked above and below in two colors...Cobalt Blue and Crimson Red.  With next-generation wireless tech in tow, an 800 MHz Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of ram, the LTE-Advanced equipped G4 promises wireless speeds twice the typical LTE equipped version.  Of course there are no existing networks that actually run on this new protocol...but there soon will be and the LTE-Advanced G4 is the only phone as of yet that will be able to access it.  No word yet on an official release date or pricing but we're expecting an announcement anytime.  Here's some more specs of Samsung's latest.

At the Samsung  Galaxy/Ativ Event in London today the company introduced a bevy of new products and along with them an announcement of 5 new cool colors that their flagship Galaxy S IV will be available to purchase in.  Now internally the new SIVs will be identical but if you've been wanting a phone that stands out from the crowd here are your color choices:  Pink Twilight, Brown Autumn, Red Aurora, Purple Mirage and Blue Arctic.  No word yet on just when these color Galaxy IVs will be available but shouldn't be long...

The Galaxy S4 Active was officially announced today and will initially be available on AT&T's network for $199 on a two year contract.  Available in two colors, Dive Blue and Urban Gray, specs are Android 4.2, a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, a 5-inch 1080p TFT LCD panel, microSD slot with support for up to 64GB, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage,  2600mAh battery and an 8MP rear camera with 2MP front. The S4 Active is IP67-certified for up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes.

PhoneArena spent some time with the S4 Active and shows the inside of the back cover containing a rubber insulation band that prevents moisture from entering the device.  The phone jack, buttons and Micro-USB are all sealed from moisture as well.  While we wouldn't take this phone white water rafting or diving it should be good poolside and for a few shots of the kids underwater.  Interestingly the bright orange shown in the video below is not immediately available from AT&T.  No word if it'll follow.

So you've been holding out to get the world's #1 Android phone, the S4...until there was a really sweet deal?  Your waiting has been rewarded folks as right now both Dell and Amazon are offering huge discounts on the handset with new activation.  Now the details as to which is the better offer really depends on which carrier you like and if you like to pay a smidge more and get a gift card in return (Dell's offer) or you'd rather just get the rock bottom price with no gift card involved (Amazon's offer).  In a nutshell Amazon is offering a Verizon Galaxy S4 for only $119.99 with free two day shipping to boot.  Dell is offering either a Sprint (for $119.99) or a Verizon($129.99) Galaxy S4 but each also comes with a $50 gift card!  Both deals are going on now so if you're in the market for a Galaxy S4 on a major US carrier...hit the links below!

After months of leaks Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S4 Zoom, a combination digital camera and phone that gives the best of both worlds including a 10x optical zoom and 16MP image sensor along with Android 4.2.2 on a fully functional Galaxy phone.  Other specs include a 1.5 GHz  dual core cpu, 1.5GB ram, 8GB internal storage expandable via Micro SD card slot, a 4.3 inch qHD display and 1.9mp front facing camera.  All in all it's remarkably like getting a Galaxy S4 Mini and camera in one.  Now the 'Zoom' is expected to be available in Russia first for a converted price of approximately $618.  There are plans to bring it to the U.S. and Europe as well but no official date as of yet.

Samsung Introduces the GALAXY S4 zoom - the first smartphone to offer 10x optical zoom, for perfect picture taking

June 12, 2013

A revolutionary new device that converges the best of a high performance smartphone and camera, the GALAXY S4 zoom delivers the best of both worlds

LONDON, UK - June 12, 2013 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of the Samsung GALAXY S4 zoom, a powerful new device which combines the stylish heritage of the latest GALAXY S4 smartphone with advanced photographic capabilities.

Part of the GALAXY S4 family, the GALAXY S4 zoom is the realization of Samsung's mission to create a single device that can fulfill the role of both an industry leading smartphone and a high-end compact camera. Combining 10x Optical Zoom, 16 Mega Pixel CMOS Sensor, OIS and Xenon Flash with the very latest Samsung GALAXY S4 technology, the GALAXY S4 zoom sets new standards for perfect mobile photography. It is the ultimate smartphone and camera experience in one, and the only device you'll ever need.

"The Samsung GALAXY S4 zoom represents yet another step forward in the way Samsung is working to enhance the lives of our customers around the world," said JK Shin, President and CEO, Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. "As communication continues to become increasingly visual in nature, people wish to capture and share their moments in the highest quality possible, but often do not have the space or inclination to carry a dedicated camera for this purpose. The GALAXY S4 zoom changes this forever, combining the industry leading functionality and connectivity of the GALAXY S4 with the high quality photographic experience you'd expect from a compact camera. The result is truly the best of both worlds, without compromise."

Revolutionary new interface
Do it all and miss nothing thanks to the revolutionary new Zoom Ring, a simple and intuitive way to access the GALAXY S4 zoom's key features. When you're in the middle of a phone call and you see something you absolutely have to share, a quick twist of the Zoom Ring will activate the In-Call Photo Share feature, letting you capture and send an image directly via MMS to whoever you are talking to simply.

For easy camera navigation, the Zoom Ring can be used to activate the Quick Launch andShortcut features, giving you instant access to multiple camera modes including Auto, Gallery and Smart Mode with a simple twist.

The Zoom Ring also revolutionizes conventional camera zoom controls. Optical zoom control replaces traditional dials and buttons with smooth, easy-to-operate digital controls. Professional-quality accuracy and unprecedented ease of use are just a twist away, making it easy to compose a scene and capture wide-angle shots or tight close-ups.

Capture the best images
When it comes to high quality photography, bigger isn't always better. The compact GALAXY S4 zoom's best-in-class 10x Optical Zoom and 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor lets you capture beautiful images from far away or up close and personal, in all light conditions, without having to carry heavy camera gear around with you. Furthermore, the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) helps keep the camera perfectly still even when you're not, reducing blur and stabilizing the image while zoomed in for high-quality photos and video.

Photo Suggest instantly connects you to huge libraries of images taken by fellow photographers, to help you find and compose your best shots anywhere in the world. Photo Suggest can even direct you to the ideal nearby location which will give you the vantage point you need for that perfect photo.

The GALAXY S4 zoom also features Samsung's popular Smart Mode, so you can stop worrying about settings and start taking professional-quality artistic shots. Simply choose from a series of pre-set modes and the camera will automatically adjust to ensure you capture the best photo possible. Use Drama Shot to merge continuous shots of moving objects into a single composed image, or Action Freeze to instantly capture high-speed action. If you aren't sure which Smart Mode to select, the Smart Mode Suggest feature can assess the scene for you and provide a short list of the best options for your consideration based on surrounding factors such as light levels, focal length, or face detection, ensuring you always get the best shot you want.

Unlimited entertainment in the palm of your hand
The GALAXY S4 zoom's heritage is evident throughout, from its sleek and stylish design to the powerful, yet intuitive user interface. Running on Android Jelly Bean 4.2, the GALAXY S4 zoom boasts many of the same features as the recently launched GALAXY S4, includingTouchwiz, which lets you fully customize various aspects of your device including the lock screen and notification bar, for a truly personal mobile experience.

When you return from your travel adventures, Story Album lets you arrange all of your treasured images and videos into one timeline to share with friends and loved ones. You can also edit images and even order prints directly from the device through a partnership withblurb*. If you'd rather transfer your images to your laptop or tablet for safe keeping, Samsung Link lets you do so quickly and easily with just the touch of a button. Alternatively, you can sync all of your data in your own personal cloud through HomeSync, providing the ultimate peace of mind and ensuring your images and videos are waiting for you whenever you need them.

The GALAXY S4 zoom features the new Samsung Hub, a one-stop destination for all of the latest music, videos, books and games. Search, download and enjoy all of your favorite entertainment at the touch of a button, all directly from your device. When you find that amazing new track or game that you can't wait to share with your friends, Group Play lets you connect directly with their Samsung devices so you can all listen and play together, without the need for a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal.
