The much anticipated Samsung S4 is being released later on
today (3 pm P.T and 6 pm E.T) in New York. The eye speculation software is rumored
to be a major feature after Samsung filed for an Eye Scroll patent in January. With
this software, screen movements will result from eye movement that the user
does. The phone will be able to respond to any intentional eye movement that
will allow clicking by blinking and automatic scrolling up, down and to the
next page, a concept that has been previously researched on desktop computing.
Much as it is a commendable application of artificial
Intelligence, there may be certain cons that come with it. For instance, the behavior
of the tracking software could be easily disrupted by public distractions and
could bring some awkwardness in public for the user if they have to move their
eyes in certain ways.
Another speculation revolves around the floating touch
technology that allows for screen movements with as much as the hovering of the
finger on the screen without actually touching it. Wireless charging is another
feature anticipated for and may even allow for the communication of the phone
with charging mats and stands that may allow data transfer which will help with
syncing data to the phone.
Other budding rumors include the impressive Exynos 5
processor (8 processors!!). To cater to the problem of battery life that most
smart phones face, the LITTE architecture ensures 4 powerful Cortex-A15
cores for power hungry functions and additional 4 Cortex-A7 for simple
functions. This way, in most instances the powerful cores will shut down
unless warranted to work depending on the gravity of the functionality.
