Samsung to Announce Galaxy S4 in Feb

Samsung has revealed that it will unveil the next iteration of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, at Mobile World Congress in February, reports The Korea Times. The device would hit shelves in March.

The official said that the smartphone, due out nine months after the May debut of the Galaxy S3, will be more than enough to curb Apple's latest iPhone, compatible with long-term evolution (LTE) networks.

The phone is expected to support LTE and sport in-house Exynos-branded application processors and quad-core chips. The OLED display will reportedly increase to 5-inches in size from 4.8-inches.

Notably, one executive said, "Samsung is asking Apple to pay more to use its mobile application processors produced at its plant in Austin, Texas. The release of the S4 means more market share for Samsung as it is the only firm that can guarantee on-time delivery, output commitment and better pricing for mobile application processors."

shocking no one...

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Oh look a bigger screen. Maybe we should start reversing the screen size of tablets.

 

[Mook]

5 inches is ridiculous naughty. I very much doubt its going to be bigger than the s3.

 

[Mook]

i really dont see any need to move from the s3 at this point. i know i jump ship every year, but the size is perfect and once its updated to JB....i mean....its still gonna crush pretty much every other android device.

 

[Eagle]

quad core! excellent!

 

[rz79]

I'm just gonna pretend my iPad is a s4 and try talking into it... Yep that's how ridiculous it's gonna start looking

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

damnit!!! i have made my mind to switch from the iphone4 to the galaxy S3...now the question comes to me whether or not i should just wait for the S4...

 

[Mook]

just get the s3.

 

[Fish]

But if you get the S4, it will have Italian Beef Sandwitch on it, which is better then Choco Taco that it currently has, and the S3 wont get IBS until the S5 comes out.

 

[Mook]

You're not a very good troll.

 

[Fish]

I know. I need to practice.

What is with the stupid Android names though? Im sure Flank Steak will be a breakthrough.

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

damn i love italian beef sandwiches!!

The only difference I can really see besides the very slightly larger screen is probably going to be comparable on how apple brings an "updated" version of the previous model (3G-3GS; 4-4s). I can't really imagine how it'll be any different besides maybe a slightly larger battery and slightly upped CPU so it can perform better benchmarks than the i5.

 

[Fish]

I hope it benchmarks better then the I5. It has 6 more months after the I5 is released. :trollface:

 

[Turk]

According to the apple haters, new phones aren't good unless they benchmark twice as fast as the competition.

just get the s3.

Yeah it seems there is a growing mentality to "wait for the next big thing" in mobile electronics. If you do this, then you will always be waiting. Best to just jump into the current market and enjoy whats out there. I personally will be either in an S3 or iphone 5 in the next few months. Just waiting for my contract to mature....

 

[importcrew]

I'm gonna wait another week or two and get an S3 then before the 30 days are up return for the Note 2. That way I can see which one I like most.

 

[Mook]

wait..you want a note 2 to use as a phone??

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

i wanted the S2 and then saw that the S3 was coming out....can't justify 200 for a phone and figured the S4 would be out sooner than later.... and here we are.

what a joke.

maybe US cellular will have some good Xmas deals and i can just get the S3.

:ghey: :fml:

 

[Fish]

iPad mini just needs a cell chip, and Ill have me a new phone too. Fuck all yall. 7" screen phone FTMFW!

 

[Mook]

just get the s3. the s4 is not going to be a huge jump.

and this should be a surprise. a new galaxy comes out every year now.

They have to be dessert related lol...... key lime pie will be a killer OS

 

[radioguy6]

I'm hoping the S4 doesnt have NFC and wireless charging. I hope it has a welded shut case with no access to the battery, and utilizes Apple's brilliant, patented Lightning connector. The electrons flow so much better using Lightning than microUSB for fucks sake.

i think thats one of the next OS's actually
