smart.scroll.jpg Moving on to something a fair bit more ground breaking. This is the feature that Samsung are really trying to push for, it is the soundbite for the S4 and if it works as well as they say it does it may well prove influential in the battle of the smartphones. The eye-monitoring technology senses the movement of your eye and responds accordingly - this makes for some really interesting and new ways of using a smartphone. If you are watching a video and look a way at any point the video will automatically pause and then resume when you look back. The technology also works when scrolling; when you are reading an article the page will automatically scroll for you based on where your eyes are looking. Finally, this feature can also be used with your fingers. It is possible to browse through the phone without touching the screen at all, you just simply gesture your fingers in front of it. Samsung believes this to be very important as it means you will be touching the screen a great deal less. What do you think of the new Galaxy S4 and Would you buy it over the iPhone5?
