Samsung Galaxy S4 specs revealed: 5 inch display and Jelly Bean 4.1
We have just started to calm ourselves after the release of the new iPhone 5 that we will have to go through another heart attack, this time caused by Samsung. They will unveil their Galaxy S4 next year.
The news comes from Samsung executives. So it’s all official: the company’s Galaxy S4 will launch somewhere in February of 2013. At least that’s what the manufacturer wants. Which is very exciting news, considering the recent launch of the iPhone 5. The global release of the device will happen in March.
According to an exec at Samsung, next year’s Mobile World Congress will be the first event to see the new smartphone. That executive, whose name is not yet known, also announced that the Galaxy S4 is going to have specifications that will be much better than the ones on Apple’s iPhone 5. Among them being a 5″ touchscreen compared to the 4.8″ on the Galaxy S3 and the 4.3″ on the S2. Another new spec for this model includes a cam that is going to offer a different resolution compared to the current on on the S3. The operating system will be the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean version. The processor is going to include Exynos quadcore chipsets. LTE will also be featured on the new phone.
Galaxy S4 concept
The South Korean manufacturer went through some issues with the production of displays for their phones. So for the new model they will be extra careful. Meaning that they are going to still use their own OLED technology. No one announced yet if the company will stick to a different type of panel or decide on a flexible one instead.

A partner at the company said that the looks of the Galaxy S4 will be the almost the same, at least where its shape is concerned. There will be a couple of new things changed at the specs level, though, but we will find out more about them next year.
Samsung took the decision to announce the new Galaxy S4 powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for next year, 3 days after Apple presented their new iPhone model.
From what sources recently announced, the manufacturer’s Galaxy S3 gas already been bought by a lot of people. Their number was enough to surpass the number of people who purchased the iPhone 4S last month. However, these figures were recorded before the iPhone 5 was released. So Samsung will seen a decline in the sales of their smartphone. But this decline will become a thing of the past once the Galaxy S4 is revealed next year.
