Samsung Galaxy S4 : Release date , specs , price , news and rumours :

The latest news, rumours, stats and information on Samsung’s Galaxy S4

 

The Samsung Galaxy S3 made a case for the Android operating system like no phone before it. It picked up the T3 Gadget Award for Best Smartphone of the Year 2012 and regularly tops lists of the best smartphones available on the market.

Inevitably then, rumours have begun to circulate on what Sammy has planned as a follow up. We’ve scoured the web to bring you the latest news, rumours and speculations about the Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S4 – display

Samsung has confirmed it is working on flexible displays and rumours are already circulating that the Korean giant is planning to utilise this technology for the Galaxy S4.

Flexible displays are "foldable, rollable, wearable and more, [and] will allow for a high degree of durability through their use of a plastic substrate that is thinner, lighter and more flexible than conventional LCD technology," a Samsung spokesperson told the BBC.

The flexible OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen on the Galaxy S4 would also likely be Full HD with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 or higher and would be a full five inches across. Which is encroaching on Samsung Galaxy Note II territory.

Samsung Galaxy S4 – Specs

According to Korean website Ddaily, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will arrive toting a quad-core Exynos processor built on the 28nm microarchitecture standard. Essentially, this is a smaller, faster Exynos (Samsung’s own custom processors) than is currently tucked away inside the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Newer processors, along with increased speed, focus on improving efficiency between cores. This should mean that the Samsung Galaxy S4 can boast more processes and a longer battery life than we’ve previously seen in a handheld.

Other specs include a 13MP rear-facing camera and, of course, the aforementioned 1080p screen.

Samsung Galaxy S4 – release date

We originally had our rumourscope centred on a snifter of the Samsung Galaxy S4 at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona in February – but that admittedly is far too tight a timeline for a new flagship device.

The Korean Times reported that Samsung was planning to unveil the Galaxy S4 in March, but the higher-ups at Samsung took to Twitter to shoot down that particular rumour themselves.

Translated from Korean, the tweet read: "Please note that some media reported speculation that the Galaxy S subsequent models will be released is a simple rumor is not true. [If] not doing anything, why spread these rumors?"

Despite this protestation, we imagine a mid-2013 release date isn’t far off the mark. The Samsung Galaxy S3 was revealed in May, so it’s reasonable to assume Samsung will follow the same pattern with the next generation. That would allow it to steal a march on a possible iPhone 5S.

We’ll keep you updated with any new Galaxy S4 shaped rumours that come to pass.
