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.

No word yet on an official release date or pricing but we're expecting an announcement anytime.

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.

The result is truly the best of both worlds, without compromise."

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.

Simply choose from a series of pre-set modes and the camera will automatically adjust to ensure you capture the best photo possible.

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.
