But will it be any different from the previous models?

Will it have to have S-Map then to be different?

*The processor may be wrong though.

May be wrong. But it's been rumored that it is *NOT* going to have the OCTA in it. So it very well might have the Qualcomm chip.

I was talking about my link. Meaning that I was suggesting the SG4 WON'T have an OCTA in it. I didn't want to flat out say the "processor is wrong" because, I can't say for sure until the 14th but, I'm 99% it will have a 600 inside.

You are talking about the new Samsung Galaxy S IV or new Apple iPhone ?

Of course it will, dumbass. It's SAMSUNG, not apple. You know, the company that actually innovates and can do something besides resize the ipod and sell it under a different name? apphail is a one trick pony and their plummeting stock reflects that.

The conference date is now officially scheduled. Samsung Galaxy S4 is coming on 14th March. Confirmed by Samsung Mobile via Twitter.

Please come with sturdy design(Aluminium/Ceramic/Polycarbonate), Exynos 5 Octa, Mali T678, Super Amoled FHD full RGB, Wolfson audio DAC and you have 2013!

I guess so lol

I seriously don't believe it will come with a SoLux display or whatever rubbish has been rumoured, will have to wait and see.
40. MrJerry posted on 25 Feb 2013, 01:30 2 1
I'm only guessing though...
Sammy without Amoled and Exynos sounds like they'd give up their soul
We will see...
52. Retro-touch posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:22 1 0
If the screen is better than AMOLED and the processor is the best available atm I don't see that as a bad move by Samsung, if the software is great and hardware as good as usual by Samsung they will make tons of sales, using Snapdragon could mean that custom ROMS will be easier to make for it, since Samsung is notorious for having poor sources for Exynos

the leaked boot screen(Galaxy s4 LCD based) has wrong Samsung Galaxy text logo.. so it is certainly fake
the g in Samsung must be on top of the X of the GALAXY
5. Hemoroid posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:07 6 2
I can't wait! Sammy you are in my heart! No other phone company can compare. Octacore anyone? Please phonearena it is going to have a octacore, correct it.
10. gokusimpson posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:13 3 3
It's not really an octo core since it uses only 4 cores at a time (4 powerful cores or 4 battery saving cores). It's like saying a Tegra 3 is a pentacore because it has 4 powerful cores and 1 battery saving core.
13. Hemoroid posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:19 0 2
That is not true! Sammy has promised octacore. They will deliver.
16. g2a5b0e posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:23 3 2
It is true. Go do some research, goofball.

Why are you hating Sammy so much you Nokiafanboy???
26. g2a5b0e posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:48 4 2
What is wrong with you? I'm not hating on Samsung & I am definitely NOT a Nokia fanboy. I own a Galaxy Note 2 & it is the easily the best phone I've ever owned. Since you are too damn dense to believe what's being said to you, here's a link. Hope your head doesn't explode.

35. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 01:11 3 1
In basic terms, it is octo core. However, only 4 cores can be activated at a time. There are 4 A7 cores (battery savers), and 4 A15 cores (monster performers). The A7 cores do basic tasks; flipping through the home screens, using basic utility apps, light web browsing (maybe gaming, not sure), etc.
When those A7 cores get overloaded however, the A15 cores flip on and take care of the task at hand; and once things have calmed down for the A7 cores, the A15 cores go dormant again.
A15 is too power hungry to be by itself, so it needs the big.Little architecture to keep power consumption at a minimum, while giving you the performance of an A15 processor when needed.
He was right, it is like calling Tegra 3 a penta core processor; numerically it is, but technically it isn't because it flips between the single battery saving core and the power hungry quad core but never uses all 5 cores at once.
The Exynos 5 Octa is numerically an octo core processor, but technically it's only quad core.
Or at least that's my understanding of it, if I made a mistake feel free to correct me.
Also, the Galaxy S4 probably won't have the Octa in it because of over heating problems, or at least that's what was reported.
30. Taters posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:53 0 1
Who cares. If the engineers didn't call it the Exynos 5 octa, the marketing department would have. Either way, it is the right move. It is much more convincing ploy than something like boom sound, 4 ultra pixel, etc.
Octacore just sounds beastly.

I hope it would be cooler than Xperia Z or HTC One haha.
12. Hemoroid posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:16 6 2
Yeah iam so tired by all these Htc and nokia fanboys wining all the time about their crappy devices.
17. jonartpop posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:23 4 2
They build great flagship phones but not as great as Samsung imo :P especially the OS update support thing.
27. GALAXY-STORM posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:49 2 2
Like it's gonna fail or something for not being cooler than Sony or HTC.

There is no better place to announce the Galaxy S4 than Manhattan New York City it's definitely the place to be. Samsung will shock the world with specs and software solutions. Can't wait.
11. blackice214 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:16 5 12
Galaxy S4 got screwed this year, oh well Xperia Z or another flagship device.

The GSIV isn't out yet so how can you tell? Please, don't take your dreams for reality.
14. PermanentHiatus posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:21 3 11
The GS3 can't even do a simple function as 'copy and paste' without crashing and they're releasing the 4th one already?
18. g2a5b0e posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:24 9 4
No surprise that the trolls are already coming out of the woodwork.
21. ama3654 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:30 8 3

@ g2a5b0e What would you know about work?

What do I know about work? I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean or what it even has to do with anything. I have a job, so I guess I know about work.

You know this guy really meant talk about his iphone. Don't hate appreciate android and the Galaxy S3.

Samsung has known about this issue since October and still hasn't fixed it.

i knew about that issue.. after read the news i tried to copy paste some document from a website with my s3.. then nothing happened with my phone.. so i assumed not every s3 in this world got this problem..
48. PermanentHiatus posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:13 1 3
@maccess Fortunately mine was plagued with this flaw. So Verizon gave me a Droid DNA as a replacement.
53. Retro-touch posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:30 3 1
So what its not the end of the world cause something happened to you, millions of others are enjoying the GS3 without said issue, go back to your cave
58. PermanentHiatus posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:56 1 1
Never said it was the end of the world. I simply pointed out a flaw in the GS3 that Samsung continually refuse to fix. That is all.
Now go back to your physically undesirable mom's basement.

I think it will set a new record for number of pre-orders.
32. Taters posted on 25 Feb 2013, 00:58 3 2
I can't wait. Although the HTC fans are probably less patience than we are. They are probably praying to god that people will buy the HTC One before the GS4 released. And they are probably praying that the GS4 doesn't trounce the HTC One. Although it probably already did considering they have the buttons in the right places already unlike the HTC One.
That is all it needs really. Buttons in the right place like the GS3 and a 3000 mah battery and then the HTC One is as good as done.

Why so rude, you hurt my feelings as an HTC fan :'(
Seriously though, I wouldn't consider myself a HTC fan. I'm a fan of any manufacturer that gives great build quality and uses a good OS and/or custom UI. Sony, Motorola, HTC, and Nokia (to an extent) fit that; HTC more so than the others.
If the GS4 has good build quality and better software features (I'm 95% positive that it will have better software), I'll be more than happy to compare it to the HTC One as an option for my new device when my upgrade comes in April, or I just might buy it unlocked if the carrier branding bugs me.
I'm a fan of Samsung's software (as of 2012), their displays, and their usually high spec count. I'm just completely turned away from their products with the design though. This Galaxy S2 I have will be the first and last Samsung smartphone I own if the GS4 doesn't have good build quality.
Also, button placement is judged by preference and 3,000 mAh is a dream bubble that's bound to be popped. Samsung barely fit a 3,100 mAh battery in the Note II which the GS4 will be nowhere close to in terms of size. I expect no more than 2,600 mAh, and that's being optimistic.
63. Taters posted on 25 Feb 2013, 12:41 0 0
Button placement is about ergonomics, unless everyone doesn't have 5 fingers and thumbs in the same place, placing the power button on the top left of such a tall phone and placing the home button where yoiu have to bend your thumb unnaturally is poor button placement, yet HTC never learns.
As far as the battery, if Motorola can do it, I am sure Samsung can. Or they can just buy the batteries from them.
Now that we know the Qualcomm 800 is ready for a ZTE phone, the HTC fans are now praying that the GS4 doesn't use a 800.

Trying to keep an open mind this time around. I think I over hyped the GS3 myself and although I was disappointed at first it grew on me and is my favorite phone to date. I'm just looking forward to see what innovation Sammy is offering this time around and if it will be a true upgrade to the GS3. Not just a Galaxy S3 S like good old apple is known for. Give me a better screen, better processor, better cam, and bigger battery and ill pre order this baby in a heartbeat.
