Reliance Digital showcases the Samsung Galaxy S4 experience in India

~ First consumer durable and IT retailer in the country to present the exclusive experience to consumers ~

Mumbai, April 28, 2013: Reliance Digital, the consumer electronics & durables arm of Reliance Retail in association with Samsung India today unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S4 in Mumbai. Reliance Digital, in line with its reputation of India’s largest consumer electronics retailer has taken the lead by exclusively associating with Samsung to present this unique experience to its consumers. The star attraction at the launch of this iconic device was Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh who enthralled the audience with a spectacular stage launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4.

The actor also gave away the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the first 5 customers who pre-booked the Samsung Galaxy S4 at Reliance Digital. Reliance Digital had designed a special 3-day pre booking scheme wherein smartphone enthusiasts were given an opportunity to book the much awaited Samsung Galaxy S4 so that they could get the device on the first day of the phone’s launch in India. Select pre-booking customers also had the chance to be a part of this exclusive experience presented by Reliance Digital in association with Samsung India.

Speaking on the association with Samsung, Mr. Brian Bade, CEO, Reliance Digital said, “At Reliance Digital we aim to bring a differentiated experience to our customers through our product and service offerings. The exclusive Samsung Galaxy S4 experience has been designed with this as the key objective in mind. We are happy to present our customers with an opportunity to be among the first in the country to experience the most awaited smartphone through our pre-booking initiative.”

Speaking on the occasion, stated Mr Asim Warsi , Vice President – Samsung Mobile , “The Galaxy S4 is a device that enables us to do more, it’s a companion that helps us experience life to the fullest and makes our life simpler and richer… That’s the promise of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and we are happy to be partnering with Reliance Digital to hand over, at this exclusive event, our flagship Galaxy S4 to customers who pre- booked the device.”

The evening also signified the availability of Samsung Galaxy S4 across all Reliance Digital stores from today, priced at Rs. 41, 500.

The GALAXY S4 has the world’s first Full HD Super AMOLED display to showcase images at their very best. Its 5-inch large screen has 441ppi for stunning viewing quality.

Equipped with a 13 megapixel rear camera, the GALAXY S4 enables users to take pictures in several exciting different ways.  ‘Dual Shot’ allows simultaneous picture-taking of both front and rear cameras. Users can choose from a variety of frame effects which blend the two pictures naturally as well as outstanding shooting modes. ‘Drama Shot’ enables users to see all the action in one continuous time-lapse image. ‘Sound & Shot’ stores sound and voice in unison as the picture is taken so those special moments are captured in the truest form imaginable.  While ‘Animated Photo’ allows the user to take a series of shots, and pick one part of the photo to move while the others stay still.

Samsung GALAXY S4 understands the value of relationships, enabling true connections with friends and family regardless of where you are; more than a personal device that can be enjoyed by one user, it allows us to easily share and experience many of life’s pleasures together with loved ones. 

 ‘Group Play’ enables users to enjoy music, photos, documents and games with those around them without requiring a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal. Users can connect directly with others to share, play and co-create content and entertainment instantly. With ‘Share Music’ they can have the same song playing on multiple phones in sync to create the best party atmosphere.

Smart enough to detect your face, voice and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation, GALAXY S4 delivers effortless tasking, making life easier and hassle-free.

‘Air Gesture’ allows users to, for example, change the music track they are listening to with a wave of their hand.  ‘Air View’ will preview photos and emails by hovering over the screen with your finger.

‘Samsung Smart Pause’ enables you to control the screen by where you look. When you are watching a video, the video pauses when you look away then it starts right up again when you are back.
