Galaxy S4 featuring Jurassic Park 4 (3D)

I know that there are many great movies that have either been screened earlier this year, or movies to be screening in the later part of this year.

One of the uprising movies that seem to have rise from the ashes seem to be none other than Jurassic Park 4 (3D). Being a remake of the last Jurassic Park movie makes it a great come back since it was done using 3D settings, giving a sense of thrill and excitement to the movie. 

It was similar to the recent launched of the Galaxy S4, that was a flagship of Samsung at point of time, which was formerly from Galaxy S3. 

The only similarity that I could see in both events is that both turned out to be the fourth installment of its kind. Both the phone and movie has a deep sense of surprise and is uniquely designed to give the user an out of this world experience in the latest form of technology and entertainment that it has to offer. Galaxy S4 has its unique gimmicks and live up to its tagline "LIFE COMPANION" and Jurassic Park 4 being remake into its 3D form gives a sense of suspense to it. 

I am personally very excited to catch Jurassic Park 4, as much as I was excited to be part of the country's first Galaxy S4 launched here in Malaysia back then. 

Right now, I could just imagine the image of a dinosaur coming out of the screen, that's how excited I really am, and giant reptiles running across the field through the faces of amazed audience in the cinema!

I hope to be able to catch that imagination and truly enjoy the magic of dinosaurs coming to life on screen. It's gonna be like what people say MOVIE MAGIC!

Exciting updates for Galaxy S3 in June !!

It looks like the Samsung is rolling out updates for one of their high end phones, which is none other than Galaxy S3

I actually found out about the upcoming update for the phone via one of the websites:


So it still classifies as a leaked though I am very excited to say it doesn't matter since anything that comes out as a leak tend to be true. Worse case scenario, it may just be as close as possible to the real deal. 

So as I was saying, Galaxy S3 will be given an update of Android 4.2.2 and most of the features in it is similar to the features that we are familiar with in the recent Samsung flagship, Galaxy S4

Features such as multiple widgets on the lock screen will be available to the upcoming Galaxy S3 update.  The light effect on the lock screen of the phone will also be available to Galaxy S3 in addition to a better improved ripple effect that the Galaxy S3 is currently available with: ripple effect

I was personally looking forward to the update for the camera, which is on the Galaxy S4. The Galaxy S4 has a very interesting add on feature which is the dual camera feature which can take picture from the photographer's point of view as well as the object that it is supposed to take. I guess I will still have to look forward to the next update for the phone then. 

There are many other features that the update has included, but I will just list it down, since it doesn't really catch my interest, besides the extra features that I have explained earlier

- Android 4.2.2 – Build ID: JDQ39
- New S4 Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, two Unlock effects (Ripple and Light), improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message- New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo- Daydream- Driving mode- Actionable notifications- New Additions in Notification Center- Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface – Exactly like the S4)- Addition of Voice controls (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands – Galaxy S4 feature)- Gallery modes have white background (When changing gallery modes to 3D the background changes to white)- Full screen Samsung apps- New S-Voice (from S4)- New smart switch widget


This video might help to give the read a clearer picture of what I have explained in my post earlier :)

What was S4 about in my HEAD?


While having some ice cream not while ago, my mind suddenly started boggling with different things I wanted to talk about Galaxy S4. Many people first question to me when they first heard of me attending the launched was 'Did u get a new phone?'

I was 'no, i did not'. I mean y would I of all people to be given a new phone such as Galaxy S4. I already own S3 once upon a time and I am right now holding a note 2. So I bet its more than enough for me to tell as much as I did like to about this phone that's sooooo hot in the market right now, the flagship of the ter-awesome sangat Samsung Galaxy S4. Yes I do not deny that I was really excited when I first saw the phone, its specs and the promo for it and the list goes on. It looked so huge (something that I favor for a tablet or phone nowadays) and it makes my eyes sparkle the more I looked at it (no kidding).

When I talk about it, to be honest, I can't hold myself in a chair and like go gaga over it. It's practically just isn't normal for me unless it really gives me that deep sense of interest for such a gadget. 

I got selected for the launched by MYC under the mobilers group and somehow when I got to see the real thing, I was like 'erm, it looks small' in my thoughts (that's becoz I hold a note 2).

But I would say I admired the phone so much bcoz of the extra features that it has in its software. I heard rumours that those features may be updated into S3 and Note 2. This got me pretty excited. 

So as to share what in the world does this phone has that I admired soooo much, I wish it that I have it in my phone so badly though rumour said that it will only be out in May/June and let's hope that it's true. T_T

I won't sharing every single features that is new on the phone. So yea, ,my information ain't that complete after all.

first thing first, what I delighted so much is one of the camera features. It is known as the DUAL-CAMERA. Dual camera allows the person who is taking pictures to be part of the group as well. It may not seem realistic when being part of the group picture, but it allows the user to be remembered when it comes to bringing back memories thru the pictures that have been taken. Such examples I can use is the one that came from the first demo where S4 was launched down at New York. A dad has always been the one that took the pictures of the mom and the children and never really been part of the family photos that have been up on the walls at home. It felt like such a shame to not have daddy there. S4 makes it possible that daddy could be in those pictures when mommy and ah boy/girl is making a memorable statement. 

What I love about S Translator was becoz of the multicultural and multi language country where I lived in. And it is not easy to actually get to learn that many languages as easily due to our interest and also the capacity of our minds. S Translator that connects from the Google database makes it so much easier to actually connect with people not only in my country based on my perspective, but as you are traveling, you meet people too all over the world who has different languages that u may want to connect with due to certain reasons but wasn't able to carry it out or technically just having a difficult time conversing to get details of needs at that point of time. 

There's also the Smart Pause that goes for videos esp when someone needs to look away from the phone when he or she is watching a video as often without needing to press the pause button. The camera that is on the front of the phone will detect the face of the user as the user's face moves in and out of looking at the screen while watching his/her videos.

Group Play that was promoted had quite an interesting style of having fun as a group of 2 or more people esp those who owns an S3, Note 2 or a S4. Group play isn't something new in the market already, rather it was juz enhanced to be used on a higher platform, instead of just sharing medias such as videos, songs and pictures or documents of any kind. Group Play now has the ability to share speakers to play the same song, making that song an amplification over a number of phones that it is played on. Another way of having fun is having group competitions. One of which is the car racing games. I bet a lot of guys will find it at its convenience whenever they are up for a game among the dudes or dudets. :D

Air View/Air Gesture is an interesting change of lifestyle when it comes to phones. Although it's not new to the Note 2. But there are features like changing songs or just changing medias with a swipe of a hand. It just looks cool doing that and of course if it is as efficient as it is promoted, it could be a really handy feature for many of us out there. Especially when we r really crazy about just touching air and moving things into position. I really wonder how cool is that to do so. As for a Note 2, it is still limited to using a S Pen to do the cool tricks that S4 can do.


I wouldn't say there's much changes that I should be envy about when I see a S4 user.

But then again it is new and it always looks good when someone else holds the phone, not u! :D

p.s. I wouldn't deny that LTE version of S4 is gonna be a hit in the market, many are asking about it, I would advise those who are planning to get a S4 to be wise in their decisions :)
