Samsung Shares Design Philosophy Behind The Galaxy S4.

For the uninitiated, we probably have no idea what goes on behind the design process when creating a new product. For most of us we probably think it’s an easy job, although in reality there’s a lot more behind the process than we think and if you’re wondering what the designers were thinking when they designed the Samsung Galaxy S4, think no more. The South Korean company has released a video as part of its “design story” series in which Samsung shares some of their design process, revealing what the designers were thinking while creating the company’s latest flagship phone. Of course a lot of flowery words are used in the process, some of which may or may not be an exaggeration, but in any case if you’re a Samsung fan and you want to “understand” where your phone came from, this video is probably for you.

Galaxy S4: The Galaxy S4 is the current top of the line Samsung smartphone and has been rumored about since September 2012. Revealed on March 14th in New York City, the Galaxy S4 features a 13 Megapixel camera, a 2600mAh battery and 16/32/64GB of internal storage (+microSD slot). In terms of display size, Samsung has chosen a 5" 1080p (1920x1080), which puts it closer to the Galaxy Note 2.
