BlackBerry announced a one million BlackBerry 10 order also late last week and and a survey showed 45% of those buying Z10s converted from iPhone and Androids. But it has a long way to go to make up lost market share.
The new Samsung lays claim to being the coolest out there. It has bigger and better everything: 1080p bigger and higher res screen, faster processor, expandable memory and more of it, as well as a heftier battery.
The Forbes review said: "The S4 comes with Samsung's S Translator tool that enables you to speak in one language and have the phone translate to another. At the press event they showed someone typing a question in English and having the phone speak the words out-loud in Chinese. When someone responded in Chinese, the phone typed out his words in English. It supports several other languages including French, Spanish, Italian and Portugese.
"The phone also has Siri-like voice recognition that outclasses Siri. You can ask it to read your email out loud and ask the phone to respond to a text message while you're driving. It also handles navigation and other phone features.
"If you're watching a video and look away, the video will pause automatically and resume when you turn your eyes back to the screen. You can also scroll by looking up or down and by slightly tilting the phone. It's not the full-fledged eye tracking that was rumored - but it's a step in that direction. Another cool hands-off feature is 'Air Gestures.' That allows you to control the phone by waving your hand above the screen. You can swipe left to right or up and down. You can even hover over an email or other item to get more information without having to touch it.
"I also love the S Health feature that turns your phone into a pedometer without any extra hardware or, when connected to other devices it can sense your blood pressure, blood sugar or other vital signs. There's an option S Band that measures your heart beat."
