Apparently not stop there, based on the information that is still speculation, as reported SamMobile, Galaxy S IV is said will be packed with technology 'floating touch'. With this technology, users are allowed to access the screen simply by 'waving' their fingers on the link.

But it seems now it will broken by the latest HTC's camera sensor technology, which is already embedded in the latest HTC’s smartphone, HTC One. Which will begin to circulate in the market next March, HTC creates an innovation called "Ultrapixels".

In Ultrapixel technologies, HTC approach with camera capabilities, instead of the high-scale Mega Pixel resolution quantity (number of pixels) but the pixel size. HTC offers new sensors that can improve the percentage of quality number of pixels to capture 300% more light (2 micro meters, ordinary camera 1.3 micro meter).

Its mean, the technology in the camera Ultrapixel HTC One can enlarge the arrest of the number of pixels in order to record more light and data. The photos will show the lighter shades (although objects in very minimal light conditions) and the colors accurately.
