http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/samsung-story-album.jpg Samsung is revealing what Smart software additions the Galaxy S 4 will bring to the table, and they’re well beyond what’s been rumored. The camera is one of the biggest focuses, borrowing much from the Galaxy Camera: Cinema Photo captures still images with moving backgrounds, a Drama Shot burst mode that creates animated GIFs, an Eraser mode to remove unwanted background subjects, and a Sound & Shot mode that puts audio in the background. A Story Album automatically creates photo albums based on common details such as location and time.
That’s just the start. AirView now works with your finger, rather than a pen, and starts right from the lock screen. Adapt Display automatically tunes the display for viewing conditions to be more comfortable. S Translate, meanwhile, will take both spoken and written words and translate them through several languages, inside of multiple apps. S Voice has been upgraded to S Voice Drive to let drivers get navigation, find points of interest and otherwise interact with the phone without having to take any hands off the wheel. S Health, which Samsung initially mentioned last year, is around to track calories and steps through accessories such as S Band, a body scale and a heart rate monitor.
Like to do things in packs? There’s more still. ChatOn has been upgraded to support video chat, and Group Play both allows for sharing songs in a surround mode or playing local multiplayer games – when it’s supported, that is.
