Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Galaxy S4 Word Game Interview!”.
Hey what is up guys mkbhd here and i have the samsung galaxy s4 in hand now, along with the htc one and the galaxy s4, it’s a great phone and all, but what i wanted to figure out at least what i was most concerned about when i First got it: was you know, it’s it’s just a small sort of evolutionary update to the galaxy s3. It’S more incremental uh, you could say evolutionary rather than revolutionary, so my biggest concern was: why did they keep the same design going on? Are they kind of going? The sort of tick-tock strategy that we’ve seen apple do with the iphone 4, then 4s, then 5 and now 5s. Is that what samsung’s doing right now? That’S what i wanted to know so samsung brought me to new york to check out the galaxy s4. The us variants and a whole bunch of other stuff they had a whole samsung experience shop set up. So in those experience shops they had a whole bunch of different devices. You can go around and play with the different devices and experiences they had a whole bunch of people waiting in line to get in and once you got in, there were devices like the galaxy note: 8.0, the galaxy camera, the galaxy s4 note. 2, a whole bunch of other samsung products like laptops and cases and accessories, and things like that.
It was just full of samsung products, so that was pretty neat that they showed us around that, but also at the same event, i was able to get a hold of and actually interview, samsung’s ryan biden, so he’s the director of product marketing for samsung he’s. Basically, the reason why you’ve heard of the galaxy s4 he’s a big part of why it was such a successful product. You might even remember him from the uh the broadway sort of presentation of the galaxy s4.
Remember him this guy! Remember that guy yeah! That’S ryan biden, so i was actually there with a couple of other youtubers, including austin from duncan 33303 and soldier knows best, but austin interviewed ryan first and he asked pretty much. The best set of questions possible and you’ll probably see that content on his channel soon enough, but he asked basically the exact set of questions that i was going to ask. So i just kind of stood up next to him and basically winged it.
So without any further ado i’ll go ahead and show you exactly what happened. We played a bit of a word association game with samsung, and this is the result all right. So i’m going to say a couple of words, and you can just tell me the first word or words that come to your mind when i say that: okay, all right i’ll start off easy galaxy, uh. Obviously the galaxy s4 okay, um samsung, galaxy s4, okay, um features uh. So there’s a few things that come to my mind when you say features um because you’ve already prompted me to say: galaxy s4. It would be features in the galaxy s4. So things like air view and air gestures, uh watch on for tv, remote control, maybe some of the great features of 13 megapixel camera: okay, um quality quality um. So there makes me think about materials and build decisions and technology trade-offs. So, for example, with the galaxy s4 one of the things that some people kind of compare is: why have we chosen to go polycarbonate versus aluminum or something like that? And it’s not a quality decision, because those materials are as good as anything else.
It’S about making a device, that’s thin and light so wanting to make sure that you’ve got removable battery, expandable storage and lots of great stuff, so high quality device, but still pretty flexible, sweet um, see i’m out of words already uh. Let’S go with versatile, versatile. What word comes from, i want to say bristol besides the galaxy s4? Oh besides galaxy s4, when you say versatile, i think of the range of samsung, smartphones and devices i mean. Basically, we’ve got devices at all price points for all people, and you know this interview is pretty versatile, too so, okay uh, i saw a tweet like three weeks ago that just had a list of all the screen sizes of samsung devices.
It went from like 2.8 to i think 10.1 yeah um, you guys have 10 inch tablets and you have 4.8 inch or 5 inch now galaxy s4. What’S your favorite tablet screen size and why that’s a great question, so i actually prefer the 10.1s. I tend to prefer larger tablets um because i generally roll with both a phone and a tab, um, basically using something like galaxy s3 or galaxy s4 with 4.8 or 5 inches. That’S a pretty big screen on the phone, so got big screen still really portable. So then the next thing piece for me is: i want to make sure that i’ve got enough additional real estate to make it worthwhile carrying that extra device.
So that’s why 10.1 is the tab size for me makes sense all right, that’s been it! Thank you. So either way, that’s basically it i figured. I would share that little quick fun tidbit with you guys and give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it uh, but now that that has happened, and i have the galaxy s4 and the htc one in hand. Let the mkbhd coverage and comparisons and reviews begin so thumbs up if you’re ready for that either way. Thank you for watching and i’ll talk to you guys very soon with that. Coming up next peace, you .
