One of the recurring jokes after the presentation of the iPhone 5 was to know when the first rumors of the iPhone 6 "" or whatever the model that Apple would present in 2013 would begin to be noticed. But look where, Samsung seems to have also overtaken it in this field: we already have the first clue about the next super mobile from the South Korean firm. Sources from ZDNet Asia have been the ones who have raised the partridge, ensuring that the Seoul-based company is working to have the Samsung Galaxy S4 ready for its presentation at the Mobile World Congress next year, with what would be in Februarywhen the fourth generation of the successful Galaxy S family saw the light.
Known features so far? Few, but they are beginning to be drawn. The aforementioned media responsible for the leak assures that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will arrive with a larger screen than that seen in the Samsung Galaxy S3, although less than what the first Samsung Galaxy Note equips. In total, it seems that we will see a five-inch panel in the future and a newly rumored smartphone , with which Samsung definitely abandons the concept of mobile to use for its high-end phones and openly embrace what many have called a phablet or tabletphone . The screen technology will be OLED, although it is not clear if it will be the new systems that have been achieved in this category or the AMOLED variation that we have seen in this family from the Samsung Galaxy S GTi-9000 would continue to work.
Regarding the design, Samsung will incorporate some modifications in the outer casing of the international model, although following the line established with the Samsung Galaxy S3. The versions that are marketed in the United States will be a little more different, with a view to haggling possible problems linked to the unauthorized use of foreign patents.
The Samsung Galaxy S4, the sources managed by ZDNet insist, will be fully compatible with LTE networks, regardless of the bands used in the different regions of the globe where it is put on sale. This letter would be a direct message to Apple, whose LTE systems installed in the new iPad and iPhone 5 do not get along very well with European networks "" since they are only operational in the United Kingdom and Germany.
According to those responsible for this rumor, Samsung would follow a launch policy with this Samsung Galaxy S4 similar to the one it developed with the Samsung Galaxy S3, so that just a month after its presentation the new flagship would go on sale in the main markets. The maximum delay, they add, would be just a couple of months.
If this information is confirmed, Samsung would continue tightening the nuts on Apple, something that it has already begun to do with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and that it has clearly manifested with the Samsung Galaxy S3, whose sales in 100 days amounted to more than 20 million units. The Asian manufacturer's expectations point to the commercialization of 30 million devices before the end of the year.
