Mobile Unpacked in New York City, it is a successor to the Galaxy S III which
maintains a similar design, but with upgraded hardware and an increased focus
on software features that take advantage of its hardware capabilities—such as
the ability to detect when a finger is hovered over the screen, and expanded
eye tracking functionality (which includes scrolling). A hardware
variant of the S4 also became the first ever smartphone to support the emerging
LTE Advanced mobile network standard.

S4 was made available in late April 2013 on 327 carries in 155 countries. Upon
its release, it became the fastest selling smartphone in Samsung's history; the
company sold 20 million S4 units worldwide in the two months following the
device's launch. Samsung has since sold
more than 40 million units.
In
addition to the touchscreen, the S4 has several physical user inputs including
a home button located near the bottom of the screen, at the bottom of the S4 is
the primary microphone and the micro’s port for both data connections and
charging; it also supports USB host and MHL 2.0. There are volume keys on the
left side and a power/lock key on the right. At the top there is a 0.14-inch
(3.6 mm) headphone jack, the secondary microphone, and infrared blaster.
The backside of the S4 has the 13-megapixel camera and LED flash, and at the
bottom left edge has the loudspeaker.
