Delights market these days with the Sony Xperia Z. The Japanese have managed to get ahead of everyone with a balanced, beautiful and very solvent team. But the year is very long, and the competition will tighten during 2013 with more intensity than it did in previous seasons. In this sense, what the South Korean Samsung hides up its sleeve promises to be a reference. Much has been rumored so far about the possible Samsung Galaxy S4, and among all the speculations, the one that touches the processor is especially thorny.
The reason lies in the presentation, during the past Mobile World Congress 2013, of the new Exynos 5 Octa chip. It is an eight-core chip, distributed at the rate of two units of four cores each, of different architecture, with a view to operating according to the required power and compliance with energy efficiency criteria. The fact is that so far it is officially unknown if the Samsung Galaxy S4 will debut this technology on a computer. However, a recent performance test with prototypes of the next flagship seems to have underlined that possibility.
Through SamMobile we have learned that a Japanese media would have accessed the results registered in Antutu Benchmarks, showing that two of the versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 "" the international one, numbered as GT-I9500, and the Asian one, coded as SHV -E300S "" will carry this processor. But there is still more. In addition, the Exynos 5 Octa would operate with a maximum clock frequency of 1.8 GHz. This data, which at the moment does not have the support of the manufacturer, would place the future Samsung Galaxy S4as the most powerful equipment on the market, taking much advantage of the rest of the firms, at least, until Qualcomm begins to install its analogue proposal on other equipment.
In addition to this, the aforementioned performance tests would have revealed other information of long interest for those who are already thinking about sinking their teeth into the Samsung Galaxy S4: the operating system that we will find from day one on this device. According to the indications provided by Antutu Benchmarks, what we would see in Samsung's next high-end would be Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. In this way it would be unofficially confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 would come out with a platform that so far is only present in the teams registered within the Nexus series, and in fact, only in the latest devices presented by Google.
However, it is more than likely that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is not alone, as a terminal outside the Nexus mobile family, in the territory of Android 4.2. And, as we have already been able to describe in a previous information, the Sony Xperia Z with which we began this article would already be on guard with the second edition of Jelly Bean. In fact, in March, just a few days after its launch, it would begin to update to Android 4.2, so that during the days of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Sony Xperia Z would already be ready to go out of the box. running with the latest fromGoogle. As we say, this will be a very interesting year in terms of smart telephony.
