Why Samsung Galaxy S 2/3/4 or Note 2/3 is so popular on the market?
A widely spread saying goes that the cases of Nokia phones are getting stiffer, the iPhones are getting longer, and Samsung phones are getting bigger. Refer to the size, Samsung believes that larger ones with larger display screens enable users to better experience the newly developed and enhanced functions of its products. With improvements in both size and screen resolution, S4 and Note 3, the latest generations of Samsung Galaxy S series and the Note series, possess hardware configurations at an extraordinarily high level. Remarkably, S4 has the creative shooting mode, instant multi-language translation software, Smart Scroll, Air Gesture and S Health functions.

Why We Need to Backup Samsung Galaxy/Note Contacts to PC?
As Samsung Galaxy or Note phones is more of life companions than simply mobile devices, they're employed every single day for multiple uses. Even though with quite a few powerful functions, these phones have certain drawbacks, one of which is the backup function. Recent news broke that there was a serious flaw in the "Cloud Backup" by Galaxy S4, which may lead to fraud messages sent to users' contacts secretly without their consent. To get away from such a terrible situation, you're strongly recommended to transfer or save your contacts to the computer, where there's a far lower risk. For as much as contacts contain names, numbers, addresses or even more confidential information of your family and friends, teachers, colleagues, or clients, as well as is the basis of keeping in touch with others, once lost and without the possibility to retrieved, you'll be in hot water and can no longer make contact or communicate with those people, especially the significant ones or the ones who're in a business relationship with you, resulting in your losing friends or losing money.

When you add a new contact, you can either set the default setting to store it in your phone memory or the SIM card. If it's set to store on the former, when you change a phone, the contacts won't be shown on the new device. Additionally, let's suppose that your phone is stolen or broken, or when you reinstall the system, you will lose the data. While if it's set to store them on the latter by default, the contacts will appear whichever phone the SIM card is put in. But when the card is damaged, formatted, or corrupted, the data can be gone. Although you can transfer or back up your phone book to the SD card, it can meet the same problems as the SIM card, causing data loss. Consequently, backing up the contacts to the computer is crucially important, since merely storing them on your phone or the cards aren't safe enough.
