Samsung Black Edition Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 mini unveiled

galaxy-s4-blackThere are certain iconic devices or offerings from some companies that do not need a new model in order to sell more units – as sometimes, a fresh coat of paint is all that it takes. For those of you who still feel that the Samsung Galaxy S4 (despite its age and many looking forward to the alleged Samsung Galaxy S5 which is said to be announced at an Unpacked event later this month) is still the bee’s knees, then you might be pleased to hear that there is a spanking new color for you to choose from – the Samsung Galaxy S4 black edition. That is not all, however, as a black edition of its smaller model, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, too, has been announced.

These two new color editions happen to be the latest in Samsung’s effort to build on its commitment to deliver innovative technologies with more premium design choices to the masses. Both of these models will arrive alongside a high-quality leather-like textured black back cover and bezel. This will definitely be a distinct and refined design which would be able to offer consumers a stylish Galaxy experience. Not only that, an external color change is not all that matters, as the Black Edition devices will also be accompanied by a suite of eight dedicated wallpapers for both the home and lock screens, not to mention a bunch of new and exclusive ringtones. You will find that the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S4 mini Black Editions will arrive in sleek black packaging, where a set of black accessories including a power adapter, data cable and headphones are also thrown into the mix.

Of course, the hardware specifications underneath the hood for both of these devices will remain similar to other colors of the same handset. I do wonder, however, whether we should ditch the “Black Edition” suffix, and call this the Batman Galaxy S4 and Batman Galaxy S4 mini after all.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.4 KitKat Test Build Leaks Out

Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.4 KitKat Test Build Leaks OutSamsung’s flagship smartphone, at least for the moment, is the Samsung Galaxy S4, so what better way to treat your flagship device than to introduce the latest version of the mobile operating system for it? We have received word that the Android 4.4 KitKat test build has already leaked out, where this particular test build has targeted the Samsung Galaxy S4. The leaked test build of the new firmware is meant for the GT-I9505 version of the Galaxy S4, which so happens to be the model that supports LTE connectivity, and with it, the main change where looks are concerned would be the status bar alongside its all-white icons. These tend to be in line with some of the recently published Google guidelines, while the green shade that Samsung had stuck to for so long to depict its battery icon has been dropped.

Apart from that, a new camera shortcut now appears on the lockscreen to make it faster for you to enter camera mode from a locked position, but apart from that, it is pretty much the same TouchWiz experience that many would have gotten used to since Android 4.3. This does throw some light on another matter though – the recently leaked TouchWiz design might only arrive with the next version of the Galaxy S handset, and not in this generation. Only time will tell.
