The long awaited Phone, S4

Posted by : Flex Next Tuesday, February 12, 2013

Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most anticipated phone of 2013. Samsung Galaxy S3, after wining the Trusted Reviews phone of the year award in 2012 we, and everyone else, expect great achievements from its successor, Samsung Galaxy S4. But questions such as When will it be actually released to the market?, What additional feature will it place itself above the S3? are stilling haunting our minds. So, after referring to so much of rumors and unofficial news, we have collected some important data about the Long awaited phone.

Release Date

If not for Galaxy series for being a superstar in its tech, Samsung would have been happy to launch the Samsung Galaxy S4 at the annual mobile expo that happens in February. But now that the circumstances are much more different, the Galaxy S4 will get its own spangly launch event.

Trusted rumors say that the Samsung Galaxy S4 won't be launched until at least May 2013.

But something that should be noted will be that the iPhone 5S will also be released during June 2013.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Specs

CPU

The first Galaxy S used a single core CPU, the second a dual, the Galaxy S3 a quad, the Samsung S4 continues the trend by coming with an eight-core processor.

Four of the cores are “performance” A15 cores, and the other four battery-saving A7-design cores. According to Samsung it'll use up to 70 per cent less power than previous-generation chips, which should mitigate the additional power consumption of a 1080p-resolution screen.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is also likely to feature 2GB of RAM, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or the Samsung S3.

Screen

Rumors say that Samsung Galaxy S4 will come with a 5-inch 1080p screen, in-line with the recently-unveiled Sony Xperia Z, ZTE Grand X and Huawei Ascend D2.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will use an AMOLED display, rather than the IGZO type expected to be in the iPhone 5S.

Camera

Samsung to keep with the megapixel race will this time come with a 13-megapixel. Samsung renowned for camera quality will come with some thing more than a phone camera with features such as Simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization, HDR.

Software

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will, of course, run Android. It'll feature Android 4.2 (Jelly bean ) along with the latest version of Samsung's TouchWiz UI, which will be really handy.

Other Features

The one major change that we doubt whether Samsung would implement will be the digitiser layer, as seen in the Galaxy Note 2. There's talk that Galaxy Note 3 is suggesting that the Galaxy S4 will not have a digitiser, which will actas the key defining characteristic between the two ranges. So, who would know?

Other noteworthy features are ones that will be practically guaranteed – 4G, NFC wireless connectivity. Further we anticipate for the phone to come with micro sd card slot.
