Samsung Galaxy S IV photo's, specs and features details
A Chinese website called it168 posted some new images of the Galaxy S IV today, reinforcing previous rumors that the device will look very similar to the current Galaxy S III, at least the dual-SIM variant that's apparently being shown here. The back will apparently feature cross-hatched textured plastic, which would make a departure from the smooth-coated plastic on the current generation of Galaxy devices. Read more after the break.
Specs listed by the site include a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset (a 1.8 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU coupled with a 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7), PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU, a 4.99-inch (so basically 5-inch, and likely Super AMOLED) 1080p display, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage plus a microSD card slot, and a 2,600 mAh battery, Techamok reports.
Size-wise the unit is said to be 7.7mm thick and weighing in at 138 grams. Feature-wise the unit will come with previously-rumored eye-tracking technology and hover-selection, although new to the table (and reported by The Wall Street Journal) is integrated SwiftKey prediction in the keyboard. SwiftKey technology was integrated into the Galaxy Note II out of the box, so it wouldn't be that surprising to see the software make a comeback in the next flagship.

Dual-SIM would be really nice!
Would be able to resurrect my old mobile as well, without making me look as though I'd been out shoplifting!
Dual SIM are a specific version ( called Duo ).. Samsung have allready do some for specific chinese market.. im not sure we will see it in Europe/US, at least not on the "normal S4 )
Anyway Sammobile have put this update, so let see how it end:
UPDATE: According to our insider who gave us the first info on the Octa-Core and the PHOLED screen this is not the real deal. This is just one of the prototypes flying around and we know there are a few flying around of those. He told us to trust him. We will know if he was right tonight!

I have nothing against the plastic, I own an S3 and it's a solid phone.
But this phone is ****ing ugly. It's hideous. The material, the pattern on it, the color choices, even down to the UI it is absolutely one of the most disappointing phones to come out. In my opinion.
But it will be wildly popular. I also approve of the battery size, if its true.

I love how it looks. ignore the ui, most people run other launchers. can't wait to have this, looks much better than s3 and also much better than that fake one -tj- posted. nothing wrong with battery capacity either if the octacore works as promised.

Meh, dunno. I'm probably going to end up buying one because my GNex is starting to age on me. But, the phone looks pretty terrible compared to the competition. I really dislike the home button and the button layout they have.
I'm also actually kind of hoping the U.S. variant doesn't have the octacore either. Octacore is only going to be beneficial in race to sleep scenarios. Any task that abuses that processor for long periods of time is going to eat that battery alive. I do hope that the U.S. one comes with the Wolfson DAC though.
But yeah, it's basically the only phone I'm going to get on Verizon so I guess I'll have to live with it.

Looks pretty much exactly the same as the S3 from what I can see? Am I missing something? A little less rounded perhaps?
Meh, Samsung got lazy.

This. And yes, it is ****ing ugly, just like S3. Even worse. They should hire some people from HTC or Sony.
And except all this people will still buy it like muffins.. this is going same way like with iPhone (no changes since 2007, absurd price, fashion etc.).
What is wrong with this world. Nowdays companys like Apple or Samsung telling people what they should like, desire and buy. Taking control of people choise. I wish there would be no brands, then poeple could choose what they really like.
