Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, is packed with a ton of extras –– almost to a fault.
When the phone first came out, reviewers criticized Samsung for shoving too many complex and glitchy extras in the phone.
But there are some features in the GS4 that do work well and could be useful, and you won't find them in the GS4's chief rival, the iPhone.
Let's take a look at some of the best features in the GS4 that you won't find in the iPhone.
It has a built-in infrared blaster that can be used as a universal remote to control your TV. (The IR blaster is that little black dot at the top of the phone.) The phone also has a special app that pulls in data from your cable or satellite provider and can suggest shows you may like to watch.
It has a near field communication (NFC) chip that lets your phone talk to other devices with NFC. This means you can use your phone to make mobile payments, swap content like photos between phones just by tapping them together, or pair your phone with a stereo with a tap.
You can add extra storage to your Galaxy S4 if you insert a standard Micro SD card. They're pretty cheap too. You can add an extra 32 GB of storage for about $20.
