Hasta La Gadget!

About a week ago we reported on a rumor that the Samsung Galaxy S4 could be seeing a launch in April, and if you were already getting yourself mentally prepared for such a date, you might want to rethink that because according to Samsung, the Galaxy S4 will not be seeing a launch date before May 2013. This does not mean that the Galaxy S4 will launch in May, but it means that any rumored dates before May are most likely false. This official confirmation was taken from Samsung Lebanon’s Facebook page where a Samsung representative answered a fan’s question regarding news related to the Galaxy S4.

We’ve come across an alleged leaked press photo of the handset recently, and according to the rumors, the Galaxy S4 could feature a Exynos 5450 quad-core processor clocked at 2GHz, an 8-core GPU, a 5” Super AMOLED Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera with Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean out of the box. These are merely rumors for now but considering the success of the previous Galaxy S devices, it is not surprising that the Galaxy S4 is a highly-anticipated smartphone.

We caught a glimpse of a Samsung Galaxy S4 concept video earlier this morning, but let’s return from the land of make-believe for a minute to take care of some real Samsung business, shall we? We know many of you, like us, are highly anticipating the reveal and release of the next Samsung Galaxy S device, which may be coming in nearly four months from now and may pack a little surprise if a recent rumor turns out to be true.

According to Korean website Enuri, Samsung plans to launch its Galaxy S4 in April 2013 that sports a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display, a quad-core Exynos 5440 chip, 13-megapixel rear auto-focus camera and an S Pen, which previously was only made available for Samsung’s Galaxy Note line of smartphones and tablet.

Seeing how Samsung is going to be a total buzzkill and not announce the Galaxy S4 at CES next week, we’ll just need to sit back and wait until they decide to officially unveil their next Galaxy S phone, which if it’s launching in April, may be sometime next Spring.

It was just yesterday when we talked about the possibility of the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone appearing on a NenaMark benchmark, although it did carry some sub-par specifications which would make it unworthy of a flagship smartphone from Samsung, and we did explain on why as well. Here we are with yet another candidate which could very well continue where the hugely successful Samsung Galaxy S3 left off – the Samsung GT-I9525, which was spotted on a NenaMark benchmark.

Some of the specifications which were mentioned in the benchmark include Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie, perhaps?), a 1.8GHz processor (quad-core at the very minimum, we would presume) that is accompanied by the ARM powered Mali-400 MP GPU. Of course, there is no Full HD display here with just a 720p display getting the job done, presumably to throw some folks off the trail. We could be looking at 2GB RAM at the minimum, and hopefully, a more stunning camera will also be in tow. Well, what do you think – is the Samsung GT-I9525 going to be the Galaxy S4?

There are whispers going on at Mobilegeeks that South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung will lift the veil on their new flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S4 sometime at the end of February 2013, which means we could very well be looking at a Mobile World Congress debut next year which tends to happen in February at Barcelona, Spain. Mobilegeeks does have a pretty good track record when it comes to rumors, as they also correctly reported about the Galaxy Premier in October.

Needless to say, you can be very sure that the Samsung Galaxy S4, where released, will be a tour de force when it comes to hardware and system specifications. So far, we believe that the new Galaxy S4 will come with a new Super AMOLED display that blows the rest of the competition out of the water, and if rumors of a new iPhone 5S that will launch in early 2013 starting to gather momentum, it would be wise for Samsung to launch a pre-emptive strike with the Galaxy S4.

It wasn’t too long ago that rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S4 surfaced. It was suggested that the handset could be unveiled at MWC 2013, although unfortunately it was a rumor that Samsung quickly put an end to by denying it in their official capacity. While it remains to be seen when the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be announced, the folks at Samsung Updates revealed that according to multiple sources, the camera module for the Galaxy S4 was spotted online. This particular module is that of a 13MP camera which allegedly was meant for the Galaxy S3 and/or the Galaxy Note 2 (both devices feature an 8MP camera in case anyone was wondering).

This particular module would allow users to capture images at a resolution of 4208×3120 and measures 8.5×8.5×5.9mm in size. Of course there is no way of knowing if this camera module is intended for the Galaxy S4 but given that cameras are becoming a make or break feature when it comes to smartphones, we would expect that the successor to the Galaxy S3 will feature an improved camera – whether this is in its software, lens or image sensor remains to be seen. We’ll take this with a grain of salt for now but what do you guys think? Will the Galaxy S4 come with a 13MP camera?
