It would have been hard for the Galaxy S4 to break totally new ground over the Galaxy S3, and some will argue Samsung has launched a device that does not innovate as much as some might have preferred. That would mean both Apple and Samsung have had that reaction with recent updates of their leading devices.
Some new features, such as eye motion-sensing that allows users to pause video and scroll through pages using eye movements alone, provide one example.
The optional wireless charging feature is interesting.
I have to say I am constantly finding features on the Galaxy S3 that I didn't know I had, or even know how to use for some productive or even fun reason. I know users of the Galaxy Note who have the same experience.
There are, in other words, plenty of features. The issue is how many of them will be discovered by most users.
