Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has unveiled a suite of exciting new content services
for the new Samsung GALAXY S4 including Samsung Hub, an integrated multimedia
content store offering a comprehensive media experience, providing videos, books,
games and learning content within a magazine-style display.
The Samsung Apps store-front has been upgraded, allowing users to browse through
applications that are optimised for Samsung devices specifically, as well as providing
them with popular applications directly from Google Play. With a single Samsung
account sign-on for Samsung Apps and Samsung Hub, users are guaranteed easy
accessibility to a variety of content.
Samsung ChatON for GALAXY S4 offers a holistic communication experience by
combining fun and creative text messaging with a high quality mVoIP / Video Chatting
service. Enjoy high-quality video and voice chat with up to two friends on a Wi-Fi and
mobile network, and switch easily from text chat to video / voice chat and vice versa.
The ‘Dual Camera’ feature, which allows rear and front cameras to take simultaneous
photos and videos, means users can now also share both images during a video call.
And for the ultimate sharing experience, the “Share Screen’ feature enables users to
share their phone screen and the ability to control this with a friend during a one-to-
one call, without having to download and upload files to their device.
In addition, translation in ChatON, called ‘S Translator’, enables users to enjoy a chat
with friends using different languages. Received messages can be translated
automatically and manually into the user’s language, and translation is also possible
when messages are sent to friends. This translation function in ChatON is available
exclusively on the GALAXY S4.
Group Play enables users to experience sharing photos, music, documents and games
with their friends wherever they are, without the need for a network environment.
Preloaded game content will be provided on the GALAXY S4.
“These exciting new content services are designed to offer our users the best content
usage experience within our industry today. Our focus is on continually innovating
across a diverse range of products and services that meet the expectation of users –
those that go far beyond merely product provision to a value added offering,’ says
Craige Fleischer, director of Mobile Communications at Samsung South Africa.
