The Samsung Galaxy S4 was just released and the Internet is buzzing about it what I consider to be an "average" upgrade from last year's Galaxy S3. Now smartphone users are wondering if they should jump ship from iOS and pledge loyalty to the Galaxy Android operating system.

The European and Korean Galaxy S4 models run on an Exynos 5 Octa (dual quad-core) processor, while the U.S. features a 1.9 GHz Snapdragon CPU. The new processors are far superior to that of the Galaxy S3, Note 2 and iPhone 5.

The Galaxy S4 also come with a 13 MP camera which is major upgrade compared to the Galaxy s3, Note 2 and iPhone 5 which all have only 8 MP cameras. Galaxy 4 camera features include: Sound & Shot, Drama Shot, Dual Camera and Eraser.

Display is where most smartphone consumers are going to draw the line in the sand. The Galaxy S4 boasts a crystal-clear 5 inch, 1080p display, surpassing iPhone 5's pixels-per-inch ratio, with 441. Those who prefer a smaller device will probable opt for the 4-inch iPhone 5 display.

The new Samsung Galaxy S4 also comes with some pretty nifty built-ins. Features like S Health, S Translator, Adaptive Display, Adaptive Sound, and Air Gesture really push the Galaxy S4 to the top of the pile...at least on paper.

Though the features seem like a great selling point, they haven't caught on with users. The Galaxy S3 also came with a lot of revolutionary features but no one used them.

It's hard to decide a winner in the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, and iPhone 5 battle. With the S4 as a brand new release, I think it's safe to say the S3 wouldn't win. It really comes down to size. Do you want a hybrid phone/table (phablet) like the Note 2? Or do you want a more pocket friendly device like the iPhone 5?

Basically, go to a smartphone retailer and test the phones out for yourself!
