It was clear. It was very well known to all that the Samsung Galaxy S4 wouldn't be out in January of next year. But, even so, they were many rumors that pointed in the wrong direction to this possibility. According to these certain sources, the new flagship would see the light of day during the CES of Las Vegas. This did not fit either with the pattern of action that Samsung has followed recently, nor with the data that we had from our own sources, and it has been totally denied when the South Koreans have published their plans for the CES of Las Vegas.
Samsung will bring us a good series of important innovations and some great developments in the world of technology. However, it seems that these will not be directly related to any specific device from the Asian company. This data unequivocally confirms that They have no plans to launch the mobile device during the American fair. But they only serve to underline what we already expected.
Presentation schedule and availability
The brand traveled from New York a London with its Galaxy S4: it was presented at an exclusive event at Radio City Music Hall and, at a subsequent press conference in the British capital, its arrival in Europe was set for 10:00 on April 27. For Spain, Samsung confirmed the LTE model Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core at 1,9 GHz, leaving out the octa-core Exynos in this market. The free price of the model 16 GB He stood at 699 Euros according to major retailers, with over-the-counter and carrier options. Initially available in black and white, with more colors planned later.
This possibility did not fit in at all. On the one hand, the company would still be in the production period of the OLED panels that the flagship will carry, so there are no expectations that the device could be distributed worldwide in such a short time. On the other hand, it would not follow the line that South Koreans, and more and more companies, have taken lately. The presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S3 it was made in a special and uniquely dedicated event in a triumphant setting at the London of the Olympic Games. It would not make sense for its supposedly better successor to be presented alongside other novelties and other devices at a generic fair, and right at the beginning of the year, without the sales of its predecessor having been fully exploited.
Lastly, sources close to the company have assured us that the device will not arrive as soon as rumors that speak of January drop. Rather, everything seems to indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S4 would arrive between the months of April and May, and again it would be a one-off event. So we'll have to wait a little longer until we can have more details about the official release date of the Galaxy S4.
