New Galaxy S4 Ad Touts Smart Pause, Air Gestures, and Conversations With Complete Strangers
The newest commercial for Samsung’s Galaxy S4 dropped over the weekend, a clip that highlights Smart Pause for video watching and the phone’s ability to answer calls while waving a hand. It’s clever, that’s for sure. You have features being tossed around, a setting that is familiar to all sorts of segments of the population, awkwardness, and comedy.

Samsung Considering Giving Galaxy S4 Users Their Storage Space Back
When news broke that the 16 GB Galaxy S4 only let you have access to 9 GB of the internal memory, users were rightfully a bit angry.
