The closer we get to a Samsung Unpacked event on March 15 the more
leaks we are hearing about the Samsung Galaxy S4 (S IV) that we expect
to see unveiled there. Rumors peg this to be released as early as April
and leaked specs have already given us some idea of what to expect,
although of course nothing is confirmed yet. Today we have news of some
last-minute decisions that Samsung has apparently made about the Galaxy
S4.
Just in the last few days we’ve heard about the possibility of floating touch technology for the Galaxy S4 and given details on some purported photos taken with the phone. Other rumored specs for the next Samsung flagship include a 2GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor, 4.99-inch full HD display, 2GB of RAM, 3100 mAh battery and wireless charging and the operating system seems likely to be Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, although many are hoping for 5.0 Key Lime Pie. However, recent benchmarks appeared to show a Qualcomm processor, which has caused a certain amount of interest.
Readers with good memories may remember one of our posts from a while
ago where it had been suggested that the Galaxy S4 would come with the
Samsung S Pen stylus
that usually features with the Galaxy Note phones. The latest news
from a Korean publication is that Samsung has decided in the
eleventh-hour that the Galaxy S4 will NOT now have the S Pen stylus as the company ultimately decided to keep the stylus purely for the Galaxy Note line.
Other news from the same source regards the home button and there had
been talk that Samsung would get rid of this for the Galaxy S4.
However it seems that Samsung has made the decision to keep the home
button for the S4 in the final draft, although of course it could be
ditched for further phones in the Galaxy S line. The report also
mentions mass production taking place in March with a release no later
than April and possibly even in late March.
Of course we cannot verify this news but it won’t be too much longer
now until the March event when hopefully all will be revealed. You can
be sure we’ll be covering all of the developments from that event and
will give you all the details then. In the meantime we’d like to hear
your views on this latest news.
Were you hoping the Galaxy S4
would appear with a stylus? Have you strong feelings either way on
whether Samsung should keep the home button for the Galaxy S4? This is
something that usually divides our readers and we’d be interested to
find out so do let us have your comments.
