This phone also includes a wide variety of useful characteristics such as Wireless charging, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 counts with an inmense 2600 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an impressive battery duration. This phone has an aproximate talk time of 11 hs and a stand by time of 370 hours.
