Preliminary Specs Samsung Galaxy S IV online
A couple of photo's and specification details have surfaced on the web with the topic, Samsung Galaxy S IV, yes Sir. The parts and specs explained are preliminary but Samsung seems to be pursuing the Big.LITTLE route. A photo surfaced showing more info alright. Behind closed doors at CES Samsung has been showing the 5" AMOLED screen based phone that handles a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The new generation screens should be more energy efficient. The Exynos 5 Octa SoC is likely to be used with the Galaxy S IV, that is an octa-core processor.
Apparently the Exynos 5 Octa does not have an embedded MALI chip for graphics anymore, yet the has bee swapped out for a graphics processor from the PowerVR line of products. Likely the PowerVR SGX544MP3 with it's GPU cores clocked at 533MHz.
Anyway, have a look at the photo's of some leaked slides courtesy of Anand and Beyond3D:

Why not? I rather them just hit the maximum for the human eye now then dragging it out for years. Maybe they'll actually start focusing on other things now, like not over-saturating everything to **** and back.
1080p on 5"? Overkiiiiiillll. I'm fine with 720p on screens up to 7" considering what standards are these days. A few years from now maybe 1080p would make more sense on a 5" screen, but not at the moment.

Mostly because I'm afraid they'll do a ****ty job as it stands. I'm afraid the processing power they pack in won't be remotely close to enough to support squat at that resolution. Games at 720p look and run like crap on phones right now for that reason. As far as videos go, most the content available is unfortunately still 720p, that's not going to change anytime soon regardless of what resolution phones are. Also, mobile websites are going to have to update to be prepared for 1080p handhelds, otherwise nothing will look right by default.
