April 2, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste Leave a Comment

The Galaxy S4 release date on Verizon customers is something which is unclear from the begining. For those who want to grab a Verizon’s Samsung S4, the long wait is almost over! Verizon has recently scheduled and passed through with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) filing so that the agency could see their version of Samsung Galaxy S4. Just the other day, we saw the Sprint version of Galaxy S4 which also made its way through the labs of the Feds.

It was confirmed that the model number of the Verizon version is SCH-I545 and is fully compatible with Verizon’s 700MHz band, AWS network and LTE. Moreover, the phone is HSPA+ 3G supported, leading us to believe that it is a global device, thus an ideal gadget for those who are looking forward to take it outside the United States for a business trip or vacation.

Back in mid-March after Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 at the event in New York City, many comments came up mostly from AT&T and T-Mobile that they have plans to carry the Samsung’s new flagship smartphone. After few days past, largest carriers in the U.S. including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S Cellular and Verizon confirmed Galaxy S4 for arrival. While AT&T and U.S. Cellular will caps out pre-orders on April 16, and T-Mobile announced to plan for the release of the mobile device by May 1, Verizon remained silent about this matter.

The carrier didn’t acknowledge the device nor mention a pre-order. In fact, no tweets came out from their Twitter accounts. But because of the news that breaks the silence of Verizon, we are now an inch closer to the date that we could actually own that version of Galaxy S4.

And that is all about. No info has been provided yet with regards to its price and release date. These two interesting details are the most awaited part for the prospective buyers. The only rumor we heard is the release date which is by May 23, one month after the other carriers begin the selling of their own version of Galaxy S4.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date – Rumors Suggest It Could Get Plastic body

March 5, 2013 By David Crozier Leave a Comment

Seems the rumors are doing another round for the Samsung’s next Flagship handset, Galaxy S4. Already there have been enough speculations and anticipations about the Galaxy S4. The latest seems to revolve around the use of plastic in the body.

Smartphone manufacturers have been using glass along with metal in moveable electronics. Apple made the design scheme trendy with the iPhone 4. Other manufactures imitated the Apple’s designing language and LG Nexus 4 and Sony Xperia Z are some good examples with use massive glass panels. HTC One, the recently introduced, boasts of a nice curved profile with chassis made of aluminum and polycarbonate hybrid.

It seems Samsung has decided to make use of cheap plastic on Galaxy S4,
its upcoming flagship smartphone. This may be a rumor but it is adding as another disappoint, especially after an earlier rumor indicating that the Galaxy S4 will get powered by only Snapdragon 600 processor. Users were expecting Exynos 5 Octa or Exynos 5410.

Whether we will get to see injection molded plastic components in Galaxy S4, which remains to be seen. There is always a chance of the device shattering to pieces if dropped for a height. We hope Samsung opts for a plastic design at least so as to avoid those irritating squeaks and creaks.

Galaxy S4 is expected to enjoy the lime light in New York City on the 14th of this month for the ‘Unpacked 2013′. With the rumors coming from those who claim to have seen the phone, the expectations from the product are sure getting charged up. Samsung seems to be enjoying all that buzz and to keep everyone guessing.

There has been an annoying reminder from Sasmsung about the initiating of the next round of Apple vs Samsung battle with the introduction of the Galaxy S4, on 14th March.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date – Will Get full HD 1080p display, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and a Speedy Processor

March 3, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste Leave a Comment

The Samsung Galaxy S4, officially to get launched later this month, has surfaced in new benchmarks that show full HD 1080p display, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and a speedy processor.

The device has been seen in a number of possible benchmarks, pointing to several of those features. We see a device called the SCH-I959 that is believed to be its successor, the Galaxy S4. There are also some major specifications too that have emerged in this supposed benchmark.

The device carries a FHD display that indicates 1080p resolution, 1.8GHz processor along with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Although these benchmarks are possible to be faked, such features have been mentioned for Galaxy S4 in the past.

As expected, Samsung Galaxy S4, model GT-I9500, the alleged Galaxy S4 will perform very well. The upcoming Galaxy S4 is believed in two variants, the GT-I9400 and the GT-I9500. One S4 variant will get operational with Snapdragon 600 processor and the other will make use a Samsung Exynos chip. This might be Dual core Exynos Octa 5 or Dual core Exynos.

Although, alleged results show a score of 2540.35 for Samsung Galaxy S4, which is higher than iPhone 5′s 2416.34, these differences are not mind-blowing and moreover, one should keep in mind that this is not a CPU benchmark. Those scores need not scale with the underlying performance of the hardware.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is indeed shaping up as an impressive smartphone, based on whatever leaks we see on the web. It would be interesting to see which of these speculations match with the actual features will come out at the time of the launch. As the Snapdragon S800 chip is likely to be available only later this year, it seems unlikely that Galaxy S4 will use this one.

Do these benchmarks really represent useful information for you? Well, we leave that to you.

Samsung Galaxy S4 To Release On March 14th In New York, To Feature Qualcomm Processor, Features And More

February 26, 2013 By Nicholas Anderton Leave a Comment

Samsung finally did it. The South Korean electronics juggernaut put us all out of our misery today and confirmed that it was releasing the Galaxy S4, and the company went further and even told us when the launch date was. The rumour mill proved correct on this occasion as the Samsung confirmed via a Tweet that it would launch the Galaxy S4 at a press event in New York City on March 14^th. The S4 is of course the much anticipated sequel to the hugely popular and successful Samsung Galaxy S3.

Now that we know the S4 is coming we can start to take the other rumours a little more seriously, and some of the features are well worth a look. As we finally get a leaked photo of what is almost certainly the Galaxy S4, it seems almost certain that Samsung will abandon its own Exynos Octa 5 processor in the smartphone and will instead use a Qualcomm built Snapdragon 600 processor.

Interestingly, Samsung also seems to be turning its back on another of its own products, the Samsung AMOLED display. The company showed off the displays at CES in January but now the company is said to be opting for a SoLux Display with LCD technology. There are two possible reasons for this apparent change; the first is that the new AMOLED screens are simply not ready for mass production on the scale required for the Galaxy S4. The second reason is that the S4 could be gearing towards touchless gestures, so the SoLux display would fit for that purpose. Take a look below at the full leaked specs:

4,99″ Full-HD SoLux Display
Snapdragon 600 1.9 GHz
2 GB RAM
16, 32 or 64 GB
13 Megapixel camera
Removable battery

Needless to say, we are now mighty excited about the Galaxy S4 and cannot wait to get our hands on one.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date might also feature Galaxy S4 Mini

February 18, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste Leave a Comment

Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is coming, even if the company has not said when. Of course the rumour mill is in overdrive, especially with the Mobile World Conference (MWC) taking place next week, although Samsung has said there will be no S IV launch at that event. So while we fill most of our days looking for more spec details, leaked pictures, and anything else regarding the S IV we still cannot wait to see this device for real. There were some leaked images of possible hardware of S4 recently circulating the web.

The newest Galaxy S IV rumour suggests that Samsung is preparing to launch a Galaxy S IV Mini at the same time as the full flagship device. Samsung is currently working on a secretive project by the name of “Project J” within which the Korean company is working on three separate devices. The first is the already mentioned Galaxy S IV, the second is a fitness device that will be worn on the wrist, and the third and newest subject of debate is an S IV Mini.

After the mega success of the Galaxy S III, Samsung launched the S III Mini, a watered down version of the all-conquering smartphones. Basically the S III Mini brought some of the high end specs of the SIII proper and offered them in a smaller and less expensive package that appealed to the mid-range buyer. Of course, some key features were also omitted.

While critics were not particularly bowled over by the S III Mini it did manage to sell in good numbers, no doubt prompting Samsung to back up the Galaxy S IV with its own mini version. In the case of the S III, the Mini arrived a few months after the flagship, however with an April or May date rumoured for the S IV release; it is likely now that the Mini S IV will be launched alongside its older sibling.
