Samsung Galaxy S4 leaks before announcement

We saw the video on the next Galaxy recently, and while things are getting set up in New York, a Chinese Tech site leaked images of Samsung’s flagship handset along with some of its features.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is expected to pack a 4.99-inch HD display, a 1.8GHz 4+4 Exynos processor and a 13 megapixel camera. It will all fall inside a 7.7mm thin casing, weighing at 138g.

The design looks like an improvement over the previous model, with the new pattern on the back. Unfortunately, based on the leak image, majority of the phone will still be made of plastic with a metal-like side casing. The Galaxy S3, while having many variants, didn’t have various designs across carriers and countries. I think it’s safe to say this will be the design of the Galaxy S4, regardless of if it’s a dual-SIM variant or not.

The leak further says that the phone will feature S-Pen like add-ons, giving your fingers S-Pen like features through hovering together with eye-tracking technology.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to be officially announced March 14

We didn’t quite believe it when it was making rounds on the internet, but now Samsung’s JK Shin confirms it. The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be announced on March 14.

Samsung will be announcing their flagship earlier than we expected. According to the report, they will do it in Samsung’s Unpacked even in New York, to gain the support of US carriers and to battle Apple on their own ground.

Last January, we wrote about Why the Samsung Galaxy S IV won’t be unveiled till May. Tackled in that article was also Samsung Lebanon’s statement that the next flagship won’t be released until May. There could be wordplay here. Announcing something and releasing something are two different things. Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S4 this March 14, but it won’t be available till May.

Just lately, it was reported that the phone will not feature Exynos and AMOLED anymore. As the announcement draws closer, the lines continue to blur. Samsung could be struggling to compete with the likes of the HTC One.

Samsung Galaxy S4 photo gets leaked ahead of CES 2013

Every year, just before CES officially opens, a lot of leaks appear ahead of the announcements. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is one of them and this leaked photo is the best evidence so far.

This press shot photo was taken right on a PC screen showing what could be the upcoming Galaxy S4.

From the looks of it, the S4 is likely a cross between the S3 and the Note 2. No details of the hardware specifications but this could be a 5-inch 1080p display, a faster quad-core processor and GPU, 2GB RAM, 64GB storage, etc.

We’re still not completely sure about this leak but that bezel is so thin. And, we’re not even sure if Samsung will actually announce this on CES.
