What are the GS4's most standout features?
Believe me when I say that Samsung didn't restrain itself when adding features to the GS4. The device has just about everything you'd ever need and then some. As for basic specs, the highlights include an IR blaster, a 13-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video, a 2-megapixel front camera, a SwiftKey-powered keyboard, a powerful processor (more on that below), a 2,600mAh battery, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage with another 64GB available through the microSD card slot, NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, support for 4G LTE networks. There even should be some form of LTE interoperability, which is a big deal. Exact details are to come, but that's something that the iPhone 5 doesn't have.Yet, it's the oodles of software that really set the GS4 apart. Go to the First Take for the full list, but the features will include a better S Voice (a Siri-like voice assistant), S Health (fitness tracking), Group Play (wireless media sharing), S Voice Drive (hands-free voice control), S Translator (instant text and voice translation), Samsung's ChatOn messenger app, screen-sharing, video calling, and a ton of camera tools and editing apps

What's different from the Samsung Galaxy S3?
Lynn La details the major spec differences here, but the short version is that the S4 is a bigger and thinner GS3 with modestly upgraded specs and more specialized software. On the whole, itlooks a lot like the GS3, but it has fewer curves and the display is larger and has a higher resolution (5 inches, 1080p). Also, the battery capacity is higher (2,600mAh), the processor is faster (see next question), and the rear-facing camera gets a boost from 8 megapixels to 13. In other words, it's a firm stride forward from the GS3 rather than a giant leap.Will it be four-core or eight-core?
Like the GS3, the GS4 will come in two different versions. One model will run on a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series processor and the other will have a 1.6GHz eight-core chipset, which is Samsung's Lynn La details the major spec differences here, but the short version is that the S4 is a bigger and thinner GS3 with modestly upgraded specs and more specialized software.

As expected, the GS4 does have eye-tracking technology. Though this feature is rare in smartphones, the GS4 builds on the eye-tracking features we saw in the GS3. On that phone, you could keep the screen from dimming when your eyes were on it. In the GS4, however, we get a bit more. For instance, tilting the screen up or down while reading a Web site will make the page scroll accordingly. Also, the Smart Pause feature halts a video you're watching when you look away. When you look back it will resume again. The GS4 also responds to several gestures, which Jessica details in the First Take
