Experts have welcomed the new device's arrival, not just for the improvements it brings above and beyond what the Samsung Galaxy S3 brought to the table, but for what it has to offer business users too.
A bigger screen, faster processor and a well-deserved firmware update will make the Samsung Galaxy S4 much more attractive to those who want to dump their standard-issue business device and embrace mobile working.
"The Samsung Galaxy S4 could be the next chapter in the BYOD culture more companies are adapting. Building on the success of the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will offer much more than its predecessors as a business device," saidClare Hopping, group editor of IT Pro's sister title KnowYourMobile.com.
"A bigger screen, faster processor and a well-deserved firmware update will make the Samsung Galaxy S4 much more attractive to those who want to dump their standard-issue business device and embrace mobile working."
Mark Mason, CEO of mobile app developer Mubaloo, echoed Hopping's thoughts about the business benefits of the Samsung Galaxy S4. "Whilst Android has the largest market share, it is iOS that the enterprise market is predominantly supporting. Apple's focus on ensuring iOS is secure for enterprise, and security concerns about Android have so far prevented Android's full enterprise support," he said.
"With the excitement surrounding the new Samsung Galaxy S4 and the unveiling of KNOX, an enterprise grade security solution for future Samsung devices, this is starting to change. Samsung has clearly designed many of its features for business users, such as split screen and stylus support, which is starting to be recognised by enterprise decision makers. We are working with our customers and partners to ensure Android can be supported securely."
