This is something that we'd have to give a massive thumbs up to, since it saves a lot of space, meaning that the 69GB you potentially had is boosted, with another 48GB that Dropbox provides for connecting your Galaxy device.Īnother interesting little feature is that videos stored on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini plays as little thumbnails. The video player manages to pull in all your videos from your Dropbox account, as well as showing all the videos that you have on your Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. Open up the video player and you are greeted with a very attractive grid of your videos. Where do we start? Let's try the beginning. This is somewhere that the Korean brand has managed to excel, and that is something that has yet to change on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. That said, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is large enough to watch videos on, although we would recommend that if you plan to watch a lot (and we do mean a lot) of videos, you'd be better off using a tablet.Īfter all that, the player will need to be decent. The 4.3-inch size is another area that will prove a little bit of a talking point here, since larger devices are always going to make video watching easier. That said, we still struggle to call it a letdown, with the Super AMOLED screen still being bright and vibrant despite its lower ppi. While this has yet to be a problem, it is more of a letdown here than anywhere else.
FM RADIO FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 FULL
We have already mentioned it once or twice throughout this review, but the screen resolution isn't Full HD. It really doesn't matter how feature stocked the player is, unless you are going to get a decent experience while watching it. When it comes to video playing, the first thing anybody will comment on is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini's screen. Samsung's music player also plays a wide variety of music tracks, supporting MP3, AMR-NB / WB, AAC / AAC+ / eAAC+, WMA, Vorbis (OGG) and FLAC files. As a music player app, it is extremely well stocked, and we doubt you will need another one, but Google's Play Music app does also come installed if you're after something a little different, or there is always the Google Play Store for a third-party app. The obvious play, pause, track skip, shuffle and repeat buttons are also out in full force, but we expected no less. This is something that we are still a little undecided on, but if you have a large enough media library, your Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will go through and analyse and sort it, enabling you to choose your music based on your mood. This is something that we reckon will have less effect on the younger audience, given that your hearing range narrows as you age.Īlongside all the usual ways of viewing your music, by artist, album, song, playlist or by folder, Samsung's Music square makes another appearance. After following the set-up wizard and listening to a variety of beeps at varying frequencies, it will boost the music to suit your hearing range.
Thankfully that is not the case here, tapping the icon brings up a list of media outlets that you can stream your music too.ĪdaptSound is also present within the Music app. This is for DLNA streaming, a feature that felt a little disjointed on the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. In the opposite corner, the upper-left, there is also a small icon that to some may seem a little unfamiliar. This brings up a list of equaliser options, from the standard Auto mode, through to Bass Boost, Pop, Rock and the more interesting Tube Amp effect and Virtual 7.1 ch.įor less music-savvy users, Auto mode is about all you'll ever need, but having the extra functions is never a bad thing. This is something that we might normally skip over, but there is a little equaliser button underneath it, something that we almost missed.
Obviously sound volume can be changed by the rocker on the side, but there's also a little speaker icon in the top-right that brings up a little slider. So what features does it include, we hear you shout? Well, let's continue with the sound theme, because that's arguably the most important feature.
