Report: Samsung Galaxy S IV to have Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 inside; boot screen leaks

Samsung is familiar with all types of displays, not just OLED. Look at the Nexus 10 screen, it is brilliant.

The LG Optimus G display is amazing. When I saw the wall paper of the pebbles I was like holy crap.

AMOLED is better on low-res screens such as the GS2, but going 720p+ LCD is better, viewing angles and brightness, and real colors... i'm okay with LCD, but still hoping for this:
a variant with snapdragon 600 and LTE
a variant with Exynos OCTA and no LTE

waaahhh.. SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE FONT/LETTER ARRANGEMENT IN THAT BOOT SCREEN!!!
the "g" in samsung should always be on top of the "X" in GALAXY
just like in all galaxies...

Superamoled and exynos is reserved to Sammy tizen, an os who tend to be ignored by public... Tizen is going to success right after the android...

"Tizen is going to success after the android"

Really wendy?
You turned Sammy from Apple?

24. wendygarett posted on 23 Feb 2013, 07:52 0

Sammy learn the lessons from bada for making too much low end phone... Sammy said before during the ces and say tizen will be as competitive as flagship phone...

They used QC in the GS3 US variants because of the LTE issue, but anywhere else got the exynos processor. I believe the US versions of the Note2 had the exynos.

And most Samsung phones have a super amoled screen. The only thing was pentile being used in the super amoled HD versions. Most are hoping for a non pentile super amoled HD at 1080p. But Samsung has always used amoled screens for almost all of their phones, to the point where its a shock if they use something else.

34. wendygarett posted on 23 Feb 2013, 08:15 1

Why do you think it shock? People choose Samsung because it make better hardware than other turf device, they careless the screen quality tho... And the pentile screen prove us all...

SoLux, according to some websites, is the successor of SLCD-2. This might mean that it is a synonym of SLCD-3

108. uvaman posted on 23 Feb 2013, 10:46 0

SoLux displays have improved viewing angles, outdoor visibility, and color accuracy, compared to regular LCDs. HTC calls the display on the One Super LCD 3, so I am not sure if it’s a different tech or just a rebranding. > Androidauthority

Sorry, Samsung's LCD is inferior, my HTC One X has no light bleed whatsoever.

138. MistB posted on 23 Feb 2013, 15:21 1

I've seen light bleed on One X and also Sensation xe, so can't agree with you on that.

15. kclgphilsbsa posted on 23 Feb 2013, 07:40 4

they want its battery to be removable...

112. darac posted on 23 Feb 2013, 11:01 0

That's hilarious.
Aluminum back doesn't mean a non removable back.
I could give you plenty of examples, but this will do:

http://www.google.com/search?q=galaxy+s3+aluminum+case&hl=en&gl=US&source=android-browser&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=9fQoUdKrDpHPsgasiICgAg&ved=0CEkQsAQ&biw=360&bih=640#p=0

So, I really don't see why Samsung would go with a plastic back if sides are aluminum.
But oh well, let's wait and see

156. kclgphilsbsa posted on 23 Feb 2013, 19:40 0

huh? those r just casings..
if ull have a removable back cover, aluminum back will be very difficult for one to remove and put it back unless there's good way made for it/..

the problem is not that it cant fit in the phone, the problem is that its not even in production

91. Taters posted on 23 Feb 2013, 10:01 0

A15 compatible with small batteries is not ready yet. Makes you wonder if the Tegra 4 is gimped A15 or real A15 though.

4 is an unlucky no. in South Korea

33. shuaibhere posted on 23 Feb 2013, 08:13 1

Agree with you....
Font size is very big....i9500 looks very big..and bezel is too thick..
But in screen's case rumour itself says it's not amoled....so no point in that..

93. Taters posted on 23 Feb 2013, 10:05 0

The problem with the square designs is that although they look nicer, they also make the phone feel huge. The LG Optimus G is smaller than the Nexus 4 but it feels way WAY bigger because of the square design. I am hoping Samsung doesn't turn into an LG or HTC just for looks and cave in on superior ergonomics.

Only reason such a large handset sold so much was because of the round design. Otherwise half of that 30 million would be like it feels too big and pass on it.

168. henrickrw posted on 24 Feb 2013, 06:24 0

Part of me thinks that design and materials are irrelevant: as long as there is a good quality screen and amazing hardware powering the software you see, then who really cares about design? At the end of the day, you should be paying for what a device is able to do, and how well it does it, not what it looks like. In my opinion, this is wholly the reason why Samsung Mobile has become so successful today. Since the Galaxy S and Galaxy SII, they have consistently provided the most cutting edge hardware with a well-rounded and customisable software. It certainly hasn’t been design which has won Samsung rave reviews for it’s mobile phones.

105. Taters posted on 23 Feb 2013, 10:37 1

Best handset available overall is enough of a selling point. They just have to be slightly better than the HTC One and Apple iphone5s in enough categories, which isn't too hard from what I have seen so far.

47. SleepingOz posted on 23 Feb 2013, 08:43 7

Square design? Sorry but this is a f*cking RECTANGLE!
And since when did Sony hold the patent for square design?

if they really copy all features etc, then why would a person choose the galaxy phone if those features are the same with others?
thats how sammy renders the smartest move among the bunch and makes whats appealing to all..

fine, ull say marketing

There are only three arguments against Samsung from the butthurt fans.

-Marketing
-Plastic
-Pentile/Overstaurated colours.

The fact that out of all the millions of butthurt Sony, Apple, and HTC fans in the world pooling their intelligence(or lack of) could only come up with those issues shows you how good the Samsung products are.

LOL at all these butthurt fans saying "SAMSUNG IS ONLY SELLING A LOT BECAUSE OF MARKETING!"

Then why don't every other companies market like Samsung then? Want to know why? Because they don't want to market cr@p! LOL

Sorry but this must be the stupidest comment i have seen today. They don't do marketing like Samsung because they can't afford it? Samsung is the top dog right now and they are profiting a lot, and they are doing the right thing which is market the hell out of the product, just like Apple does. More marketing = more people aware of the product.

More people being aware of a product definitely helps, but it still wouldn't mean a thing if the product you market sucks and a much superior product exists.

Truth is you can't say for sure what the driving reason for sales is. It could be anything from the product being appealing, to marketing, to brand power, to design etc. It is completely naive and foolish to assume that marketing is the sole driving factor.

Is it just me or are Sony fanboys getting stupider by the minute? According to them everyone is a copycat, the HTC One is a copy of the Xperia P when they don't even lookalike, the Galaxy S IV is a copy of the Xperia Z when the S2 was rectangular before the Z. F*** logic.
