The Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone has delivered a lot of features which could be considered “cutting-edge” or” groundbreaking” for a mobile handset. You can actually answer the phone without touching it, and without vocal commands. Use it as a remote control for your home stereo system or television, and enjoy watching a movie while simultaneously checking your e-mail or surfing the web. Several contextual awareness features are also on board, the handset delivers one of the most powerful central processors ever found on a smartphone, and a handy blocking mode helps you focus on the task at hand.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $119.99.
Samsung has named the intrusion stopper simply Blocking Mode, and that is exactly what it does. If you would like to keep your handset from disturbing you while you are sleeping, or you just need a little down time from the always in-your-face information overload that cell phones can sometimes deliver, Blocking Mode was made with you in mind. The handset also allows you to limit interruptions during meetings, while driving, or any other time you would prefer your powerful S4 smartphone to leave you alone.
You can obviously reset the handset to typical operating mode later and check your messages, missed phone calls, e-mails, texts and alerts. To activate Blocking Mode, head over to Settings on your Samsung Galaxy S4, tap the My Device tab, and near the bottom of your display you will see Blocking Mode. You can then tap the menu item to configure your settings, or simply switch it on or off if you simply want to access or shut off previous configurations.
This mode allows you to disable incoming calls, disable notifications, disable your alarm/timer and or disable your LED indicator light. You can choose any one of these individual blocking modes, or a combination of any of the four. One really neat characteristic of this privacy feature is the ability to set its start and stop time. This way you do not forget to manually restore your phone to the standard mode and miss any important phone calls, messages or notifications. You can also set specific contacts from your Samsung Galaxy S4 to break through Blocking Mode and ring your handset if you fear missing an important call.
Blocking Mode is just one of dozens of unique features the Samsung Galaxy S4 has debuted when it burst onto the smartphone scene with a powerful Snapdragon 600 quad core processor clocked at 1.9 GHz, large 5.0 inch capacitive, multitouch display, Full HD 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution and extremely high pixel density at 441 ppi. The handset is slim at 0.31 inches (7.9 mm) and light at 4.59 ounces (123 g), delivers a generous 2.0 GB of RAM memory and a microSD slot for storage expansion.
