After weeks of build-up – from hints of the screen size and shadowy teaser pictures, to annoying children in Samsung promo ads – we’ve finally been introduced to the real Samsung Galaxy S4. At an event in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Samsung officially revealed its highly anticipated smartphone on Thursday night.
