Samsung Electronics, the well-known South Korean multinational electronics company, is reaffirming its commitment to a richer, healthier way of life.

Samsung showed it is committed to a healthier, richer way of life when it introduced its new Galaxy S4 smartphone. In describing the new S4, Samsung said that the device “understands how important your health is.
