Samsung Galaxy S4 also delivers a Gorilla Glass 3 for more improved protection that makes the device more durable than Galaxy S3.

Another field where Samsung had improved is in the camera of Galaxy S4. This time Samsung raised its step from 8MP in Galaxy S3 to 13 MP rear camera with high shutter speed along with a 2 MP front camera in Galaxy S4. Samsung had also added very impressive low-light performance in Galaxy S4. Another impressive feature about the camera is that, we can use both the rear as well as the front camera of this device can be operated at the same time. 

The front camera of Galaxy S4 also play a vital role in controlling the phone with a new and impressive technology added by Samsung called Smart Pause.
