Samsung Galaxy S4: a possible press photo has been leaked

Well, maybe the wait to know what the design of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be like is over, since the web SamMobile has just published what could be one of the photos that the Korean company has prepared for the press. Obviously, we cannot confirm 100% that it is real, but knowing the medium that has published it, we think that it has many options to be truthful.

One of the most interesting details of this new model is that it includes just a physical button and that, therefore, the rest of the functionalities will be handled by those included on the screen. It would be the first Samsung to use this option. What's more, the Samsung Galaxy S4 frame looks much thinner than in previous models, which allows the inclusion of a much larger screen in both width and length as expected in this new model from the Korean company.

Possible Samsung Galaxy S4 specs

There is no official confirmation or certainty of the possible specifications of the next Samsung reference model for the Android operating system, but the most intense rumors indicate that the most important characteristics could be these.

  • Exynos 5450 Quad 2.0 GHz SoC
  • Mali-T658 GPU
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 4.99-inch SuperAMOLED Full HD 1080 × 1920 display
  • 13 megapixel rear camera
  • 2MP front camera
  • Android 4.2.1 operating system 1

In short, it is possible that the design of the future Samsung Galaxy S4 has been exposed and, the truth, what you see is very attractive. If confirmed, 5-inch screen looks safe and, in addition, it is very clear that one of the bets of this model is the almost total absence of physical buttons.

    Wow, what happened, if that's the case, it's amazing, what makes me funny that is why both adslzone and this website said that it would be a flexible screen and with the s3 they also said the same thing.

      Sure it will take at least two or three more years to launch the first mobile with a graphene screen, but that technology will be the future.

      Flexible screen does not imply that the mobile will bend or anything like that. What the flexible screen will do is that it does not break with strong blows and is more resistant to shocks. And in galaxy 4 they will not put a flexible screen because the flexible screen today is only with a maximum resolution of 640 × 800, therefore it would have a poor quality screen to be a galaxy s4

        It gives me the impression that you haven't seen the flexible screen terminal projects that Samsung and Nokia have made, they fold into bracelets and you can give them an L shape to have it as an alarm clock.
        The flexible screen would imply many options, in fact we have already seen them in many science fiction movies. The typical roll-up terminal that when unfolded shows a screen large enough for any modern tablet.
        Imagine a 10-inch tablet that rolled up does not bulge more than a fan.
        Of course there is still a lot for that, but it is supposed to be what you want in a flexible screen. Hardness would not be sought in that way, for that any polycarbonate is preferable, such as some that are used for ballistic defense.

          What you mean is what a Korean university did about the future possibilities of graphene, but it has nothing to do with the flexible screen, since the graphene "smartphone" is the entire mobile that bends.
          Right now the only flexible thing is the screen, but the circuitry and battery are business as usual. The only thing that has come out moderately interesting with this has been the design of a mobile with a screen that when reaching the side, bends and makes the edge of the smartphone also a screen.

          But nothing more, I repeat that what you saw is something else. Undoubtedly, the possibilities of graphene are incredible, but it is still in the very, very, very early stages.

          Also all of our gadgets are based on silicon, changing them to graphite is going to be a trauma. Unless they manage to make a graphene-like material but in silicon, which is what they are trying right now with silicen, which may in the end be the one that takes the cat to the water even if it arrives later.

    only 1 gb less than my computer, we'll see the apps that this beast can run. Modern warfare in mobile version, to shit.

      You already have the modern combat 4 in galaxy s3 (which would be call of duty black ops2) and it is luxurious. I even compared the need for speed most wanted of psp with the echo for android in my galaxy s3 and honestly a mobile that has better graphics than a laptop dedicated to games…. sony, put the batteries with the laptops

        that's wrong, the only two mobile devices that outperform PSVITA are:
        The IPAD 4 AND THE NEXUS 10 and in the future the Galaxy S4 with the Iphone 6


        1.    kornnival korn said

          CPU:

          ARM® CortexTM-A9 core (4 cores) ~ 1,5GHz

          GPU:

          SGX543MP4 + ((4 cores; 197 million polygons) ~ 300 MHz

          Principal memory

          512 MB RAM

          VRAM

          128 MB

          Those are the characteristics of the ps vita and there are already some mobiles that surpass it in hardware, and if we have Chinese terminals such as OPPO and Xiaomy and Meizu there are already a few more. In fact those 512 megs of ram limit it bad thing.


          1.    Pepe said

            But we talk about graphic performance or not, in that the GPU beats all except the iPad 4 and the nexus 10


          2.    kornnival korn said

            According to several benchmarks (not just one, but several since the benchmarks are not a very reliable tool) the qualcomm adreno 320 (nexus 4) are superior to the powervr SGX543MP4 + (PS Vita / iphone 5).

            http://hothardware.com/articleimages/Item1958/nexus_4_review_glbenchmark.png

            Of all these still these are relative numbers and the characteristics of a GPU are directly related to the SOC in which they are included since the CPU mounted in the SOC makes the Mhz of the GPUs can be modified, so for example the Mali 400 work at 266 Mhz in the SGS2, 440 in the S3 and 533 in the Note2 (it is believed that it is possible to put it at more than 600 Mhz in the 4412). The Tegra3 in HOX at 416 Mhz and in HOX + at 520.
            On the other hand, the PowerVR SGX are always at 200 Mhz at Apple (on PS VIta increased to 300 Mhz) and at 384 at Asus and some others.
            The Adreno 225 and 320 always or almost always at 400 Mhz ..

            But all these numbers are about to go to hell this year when the next terminals with super SOCs with 8-core GPUs and the like start to appear.
            Regarding the PS Vita I still think that it is very limited by those 512 mb of ram although that is not so important since it has an operating system dedicated exclusively to games.

            http://www.anandtech.com/show/6426/ipad-4-gpu-performance-analyzed-powervr-sgx-554mp4-under-the-hood, several tests indicate that the adreno 320 together with the powervr sgx543mp3 are at a similar performance

            that's where the processor and ram memory come into play, but what has been said with the repris that the manufacturers carry, this year, in the middle / end they will already be obsolete

      No, if the edges of the smartphone are removed.

    The only thing I hope is that it surpasses the iPhone 5 in Fluency, and that those characteristics would be too good for an android since the applications crash, they are of poor quality, and the OS itself is very slow compared to iOS

      What a pity friend may be the mismanagement I have Samsung Galaxy S3 it is the best it is fulll and it is so fast it is not even slow

      hahahahaha but if the s3 far exceeds it


  5.   Fran Carrilero Romero said

    Well, what do you want me to say, if all that space is left below…. I prefer that it continue to have the home button and the capacitive ones. Putting buttons on the screen is to make the screen smaller and silly considering that there is enough space at the bottom, if it is not going to have buttons, the screen will reach lower


  6.   jonas carrion said

    In the photo I am seeing a galaxy s1 but without a physical button, I like the design of the galaxy s3 better. if so, the new galaxy… .. it seems like a shit to use the galaxy s1 design again


  7.   Mandinga said

    I honestly don't believe this image. Quite sloppy. On the characteristics well what we expected. The same, but more. Nothing new under the sun…

    I think I will wait another year with my S3 to see something that surprises me.
