万花筒 2013-03-22&03-24 三星推出Galaxy S4：智能手机大战再掀高潮

 The newest chapter in the smart

phone wars tonight.

There抯 a new phone about to hit the market and many believe it could be the iPhone抯 toughest competition yet. ABC抯 Neal Karlinsky tonight with a first look at how it works. 

The newest and brightest entry into the masthead gadget¹ market is a phone that can look back at you and actually read your facial expression.揑f you turn away, it抣l pause the video; if you turn back, it will resume again.?

It is the Samsung galaxy² S4, and its most buzz worthy³ feature maybe that it抯 doing something that for years has been the domain⁴ of Apple. 揊or the thing that really has everyone talking here is the face-to-face phone calls. One new function is called passbook⁵.?

Getting mainstream⁶ buzz often at the expense of the mighty⁷ iPhone.

揑 think this new phone is definitely going to fuel up the war between Apple and Samsung.?

You can scroll⁸ through text just by tilting⁹ it and while touch screens may seem to be everything, this one lets you work the phone by just swiping in the air above it. We give a couple of iPhone-loving interns¹⁰ an exclusive glimpse to get their view. 揑 think that I like this as much as I like my iPhone.?

It's tough dayS for apple. Samsung is a Google-powered android phone and Android beats apple at the smart

phone game that it invented. 揂ctually I want this picture, can I send it to myself??

All testers today aren抰 quite ready to switch, but Samsung has already scored one major victory, it抯 got people talking about it. 揂ctually, really cool, yeah.?
