Latest Samsung Galaxy S4 to Launch in February 2013

 A new rumor suggests that Samsung will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S4 (S IV) in February 2013 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. According to Korea Times, the follow up to the popular Galaxy S III will have a 5-inch display (up from the Galaxy S III’s 4.8-inch screen). Check out the Exclusive Images and pictures of Samsung Galaxy S4 and release and launch date of Samsung Galaxy S4. As expected in a next-generation smartphone, the device will feature the best hardware and software Samsung has to offer. An official from one of Samsung’s local partners told the daily paper that most of the changes would in fact be under the hood rather than to the exterior of the device.

“The S4 will see some external changes but retain its popular rectangular shape with rounded corner concept,’’ the official said.

The phone is also thought to maintain several stand-out features from the Galaxy S III including support for LTE networks and use of Samsung’s Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors depending on the country in which the phone is being sold.

Samsung announced the Galaxy S III in May of 2012. The phone went on sale later that month, and by September the company had sold more than 20 million units of the flagship phone, with sales topping 200,000 daily.

The Galaxy S III came loaded with a number of “human” features. For instance, the phone tracks your eyes when you’re looking at the screen and won’t shut off as long as you’re still trying to look at something. The phone can also wake up using just your voice, and has a “groupcasting” feature for sharing pictures and presentations with other Galaxy S II handsets.

Top 4 Rumors About the Galaxy Note 3[III]

While much of the Android world hyperventilates in anticipation of the release of the Galaxy S4, a number of folks are excited for an equally important phone to be released. I'm talking, of course, about the Galaxy Note 3, Samsung's follow-up to the wildly popular Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 2. It seems like yesterday that Samsung was unveiling the first Galaxy Note, but the world has spoken, and they want more Notes! Samsung is expected to release the phone sooner than you'd imagine. Here are the top 4 rumors we've found about the Galaxy Note 3.

Display

Korea Times is reporting that the Galaxy Note 3 will feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with 1080p resolution. That's a really big bump up from the original Galaxy Note's 5.3-inch display and the Galaxy Note 2's 5.5-inch display. It would, in many ways, put the Galaxy Note 3 in phablet territory.

Processor

The Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to have a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor, which Samsung claims uses 70% less battery power than comparable processors. This incredibly advanced engine has been reportedly clocked at 1.8Ghz by the site Antutu. We don't know if it'll really end up being that powerful, but you better bet it'll be one fast puppy.

Internal Memory

Samsung is widely believed to be keeping their storage options the same for the Galaxy Note 3 as they were for the Galaxy Note 2. We're talking either 16Gb or 32GB of flash memory, with up to 64GB in external storage via SD slot.

Release Date

The folks over at Wall Street Journal are convinced the Galaxy Note 3 will be released in the first half of the year, citing sources at Samsung. This would be a bit surprising, though, considering the Galaxy Note 2 was released at the end of November. But when it comes to releasing multiple products in short succession, Samsung is king.
