Samsung’s New Galaxy S4 Has Eye Control Function
Are YOU ready for what comes next?
Samsung's Electronics unveiled the latest model of its flagship Galaxy phone late Thursday at a media event in New York City.
New
software features on the phone include a function that allows users of
the smartphone to use their eyes to control the screen.
'Samsung
Smart Pause' enables you to control the screen by where you look. When
you are watching a video, the video pauses when you look away then it
starts right up again when you are back," Samsung said in a statement.
The new phone marks the latest bid by the South Korean electronics giant to take on Apple and its popular iPhone.
Analysts
say the new phone is unlikely to be game changer in the smartphone
battle. The launch of the new phone in New York is the first time the
company has launched a Galaxy device in the U.S. in three
years, a move
that shows Samsung has a growing influence over carriers.
Samsung's
latest launch also shows that the smartphone space is changing.
Smartphones aren't just for early technology adopters or for consumers
with big wallets, the mobile devices are now more accessible for all in
the U.S. More than half the people in the U.S. own smartphones and in
five years almost 90 percent of the U.S. population will have
smartphones, according to research from Forrester.
