The Samsung Galaxy S4 has once again been the major headline grabber during the
first week of March and this is very obvious considering that the device is
expected to launch very soon. We have already told you that the presentation
date is expected to be March 14 during the Samsung
Unpacked in New York. This does not, however, directly tell us when the
Galaxy S4 official release date will be set, but we are hopping that this will
be revealed to us very soon. In the meantime, Samsung officials haven't given us
much food for thought other than a few teasers here and there. This article will
therefor focus on the latest set of rumors which involve the Galaxy S4's specs
and features. Ready to get started?
The photo above obviously isn't anything
official and it just presents us with some expected features. The full HD Super
AMOLED screen is something that we have discussed already in the past and as you
may remember we can safely assume that the device will have a 4.99
inch display with full HD technology. The news about the storage and the
camera aren't exactly new either, and the story about the Jelly Bean 4.2
Operating System is quite standard since we can expect only the latest from this
device.
Those of you who might have hopped or feared
that the Galaxy S4 will feature the Tizen OS have no more reason to think about
it. Apart from the many reasons that I listed in a previous post which explains
that the Galaxy
S4 with Tizen OS is impossible, there is a new one to consider. What is it?
Well, Tizen OS isn't ready for a smartphone yet, and it certainly won't be ready
by March 14 for the conference in New York.
Early Galaxy S4 Benchmarks
As expected, a lot of reports are coming in
where people are claiming that they have done early benchmarks using some Galaxy
S4 prototypes that Samsung gave them to test. Of course, this isn't what
everyone is saying, but it sounds quite similar. Either way, it isn't much more
reliable than the Gmalaxy
S4 AnTuTu benchark from last month, but it will do for now since there is a
lot of interesting details that we can take from the photos.
Here is one such benchmark:
Now, many of you may be annoyed that not all
of the text is in English and I feel your pain. However, you can see all the
major stuff from the graph and the numbers on the side. It is interesting to
note how much the Galaxy S4 has scored on the first picture and it would be
really nice if the actual device provides us with such performance.
What are your expectations from the Samsung
Galaxy S4? Any ideas to share? Leave them in the comments!
