It's
worth pointing out that the Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with Android 4.2,
the previous version of Android, while the Galaxy S III is still stuck
on Android 4.1, lacking features like lock-screen widgets, Daydream and
wireless screen mirroring which were introduced with Android 4.2.Android
4.3 includes
features
such as restricted profiles for limiting access to apps and content for
different users of a device, dial-pad autocomplete, enhanced access to
notifications, and a new camera app, among other user facing features.
