For shooting photos and videos, it has a 13-megapixel on the back and for video calls it has a 2-megapixel camera on the front.
Apart from that it will come with a host of features, including Air Gestures which will allows users to browse content, change music and reject or answer calls with just a wave of their hand.
It'll come packed with a number of Samsung apps. The S Health apps, for instance, will help users track their calorie intake and keep count of the number of steps taken.
Samsung has borrowed some features from the Galaxy Note II, namely the function that allows users to preview content by hovering the S Pen over the screen. WIth the S IV you don't need a stylus to do that - users can just use their finger.
