Samsung has finally launched its latest Galaxy S4 Smartphone at a press event in New York. The new phone launched comes with the latest Android OS (Jelly Bean) and the next generation hardware. Below is the introduction video of Samsung Galaxy S4 along with the phone specifications. The phone has been launched with the tagline "Life Companion". It shall be available for sale in several markets across the world by the end of April. Though pricing of the phone is not yet disclosed, it is believed that the phone will sell in India at around Rs 40,000.

The highlight of the phone is the gesture-based control using which users can perform certain actions on phone without touching it. A prime example of smart gesture is 'smart pause' which pauses videos automatically if a user looks away from the screen. It resumes the video once the users again looks at the phone.
