Samsung’s new flagship phone, the GS4, impresses me because of its hardware. The company however is trying to make people appreciate it for its software. I’ve often said how I’ve turned off most of the whiz-bang settings that are in my Note II, but I understand that most people don’t. They take a phone out of the box, shove their SIM card inside, download a handful of apps, and then spend the next 12 to 24 months living happily ever after.

Thankfully, the guys at Pocketnow produced this excellent nine minute video that runs through most of the new features in the GS4. They cover the new gestures, S-Translator, and just about everything that you local electronics store salesmen will show you if you ask him for some help.

Hope you like it as much as I did.
