Therefore, rumors begin to spread on the Internet It is the most normal thing in the world because everyone wants to know the news of the new reference terminal.
Therefore, we will point out some of the ones we consider interesting and that have a basis for becoming a reality. An example is the information coming from the Korean website. Asian. In it you can read that the screen of Samsung Galaxy S4 will be 4,99 inches SuperAMOLED type and that, having a resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels, will be fully compatible with Full HD. Furthermore, the density will be 441 dpi, when Galaxy S3 offers 306 and iPhone 5 326.
Display and layout
The most consistent leaks point to a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution (1.920 x 1.080), protection Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and a frontal use around the 72,5% of surface area. It is said to be a very sharp panel where the color calibration would vary by modes (dynamic, film, photo), allowing less saturated colors for those who prefer it. As for the design, 3D images released by the account @ Evleaks suggest straighter lines that in Galaxy S3 and very small bottom bezelThere are conflicting rumors about the presence of the central physical button: some models omit it, others keep it.
The chassis would bet again on polycarbonate with removable back cover, a decision designed to favor replaceable battery and use of cards microSD. Among the filtered colors appear black, white, red and blueThe expected dimensions are around 136,6 x 69,8 x 7,9 mm and a weight of ~130g, with the ambition of becoming one of the finest models in its category.
Processor and hardware variants
Another new feature, as expected, is the SoC that the phone will include. According to several sources, what can be expected is that it will include a 2 GHz Quad Core Exynos with an 8-core GPU. Therefore, we are looking at a component that doubles the number of cores and could be the first to reach such a high frequency… the only doubt that can be had regarding its improvement is energy consumption, something we'll see in due course. But if confirmed, we're talking about a real "beast" if properly combined with LTE networks.
At the same time, leaked benchmarks and Korean sources speak of a dual regional strategy: Exynos Octa 5410 (eight heterogeneous nuclei) with PowerVR GPU SGX544MP for 3G variants, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 a 1,9 GHz with modem LTE Cat 4 for markets with 4G. In both cases, they are mentioned 2 GB of RAM, internal storage of 16 / 32 / 64 GB and groove microSD up to 64 GBThis combination should translate into Total fluidity in interface and demanding 3D games, plus room for future versions of Android with higher requirements.
Cameras and photography
The leaks coincide in one 13 MP rear camera with sensor Sony Exmor RS IMX135, opening f / 2.2 and pixels of ~1,136 μm, capable of recording video at 1080p / 30fpsAdvanced modes are expected: HDR, panoramic, Best Face, Drama (movement sequence), Sound & Shot (audio with the photo), Erased of objects, animated photo (GIF) and Dual Camera to combine front and rear cameras. For selfies and video calls, a 2 MP front with video Full HDIn good lighting conditions, it should compete with the best, while indoors and in low light, it will depend on processing and night mode.
Smart software and features
In software, sources point to Android 4.2.x Jelly Bean with the cape TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0Among the most talked-about features: Air View (preview when you hover your finger over it), Air Gesture (gestures without touching), Smart scroll (shift when tilting or detecting gaze), Smart Pause/Stay (pause video or keep screen on if you watch it), and a quick access panel expanded in notifications. WatchON would take advantage of the port of infrared as a universal remote control with TV guide, Group Play would allow sharing music/photos and syncing speakers between Galaxy, and S Health would integrate pedometer, food logging and accessory compatibility, relying on sensors temperature and humidity integrated
TouchWiz would also offer a easy mode For novice users, programmable lock by schedule, highly configurable lock screen and the wizard S Voice. All of this adds value, although some of these functions will depend on the adoption by third-party apps and its reliability on a daily basis.
Connectivity and sensors
Network support is expected HSPA+ 42 y LTE Cat 4 (depending on region), use of micro‑SIM, Wi‑Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Dual-band with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 aptX, NFC, DLNA, Micro‑USB 2.0 USB OTG, Exit MHL to HDMI, FM radio with RDS, GPS/A‑GPS y GLONASS, in addition to the aforementioned issuer IR. In sensors: proximity, light, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, barometer, thermometer, humidity y HallAt the multimedia level, broad compatibility is anticipated with MP3, AAC/HE‑AAC, FLAC, OGG, AC‑3 and video H.264/MPEG‑4, DivX/AVI/MKV, VC‑1, VP8, HEVC. The SAR values They aim to be within the limits in force in the EU and the US.
Battery, size and other data
There is talk of a 2.600 mAh battery, removable and with wireless charging depending on the market, which, combined with software optimizations, should offer a full day for most users. The connector 3,5 mm remains, and the external speaker is located on the back. The combination of low weight and contained thickness favors the one-handed maneuverability despite the 5-inch screen.
Other details that are also rumored
There are also speculations regarding the storage capacity of the Samsung Galaxy S4. From the looks of it, the model 64 GB it is insured from the moment it is launched and, in addition, there is speculation about the possibility of the inclusion of a much thinner memory module, which would positively affect the thickness of the terminal.
By the way, the thickness will also be affected, since it seems that the next component of the Galaxy family will be the finest model on the market in its product range, since design seems to be a fundamental aspect for Samsung.
If all the sections are confirmed, we are talking about a very powerful phone that is an evolution in terms of "muscle"... now we just need to know more. what surprises in innovation will have the future Galaxy S4. Added to this are leaks of @ Evleaks that reinforce the idea of ​​a screen Super AMOLED Full HD, 2 GB of RAM, variants of 16 / 32 / 64 GB y 13 MP camera, in addition to functions based on eye tracking for multimedia navigation and control.
The portrait drawn by rumors and regional records is that of a very complete flagship in terms of screen, cameras, power and connectivity, with differentiating extras such as infrared with TV guide, S Health and a removable battery that is unusual in its segment. If everything is confirmed, the Galaxy S4 will aim to be referencia in specifications and versatility, leaving the final experience in the hands of the optimization of its software and the execution of its intelligent functions.
