The Samsung Galaxy S4 is currently shipping with either a Snapdragon 600 quad-core or an Exynos 5 Octa chip, but chances are that a more powerful version of the Samsung flagship based on the Snapdragon 800 chip will launch soon in Korea. It has leaked out earlier as coming to two Korean carriers.
Now, the Snapdragon 800-based Galaxy S4 has hit the synthetic benchmarks breaking all previous records. On AnTuTu, the Galaxy S4 ripped all records and came on top with 31 491 points. Let’s just mention that the Snapdragon 800-equipped Galaxy S4 breaks its own record after the Exynos 5 Octa scored a maximum of 31 127 on AnTuTu.
In addition, the same handset has passed Wi-Fi certification (it has already gotten DLNA certified earlier), so all clues point to the fact that it exists and it is indeed coming soon to Korea. The current model that got Wi-Fi certified is the Samsung SHV-E330S.
Expectations are for Snapdragon 800 running phones to become the norm in the last quarter of this year. The Samsung Galaxy Note III, the HTC One Max and the LG Optimus G2 are all rumored to launch with it. Could the Galaxy S4 be the first one, though? Time will tell.
