Check out the first big leak for Samsung's upcoming flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S IV. The photo originates from SamMobile, which says it got the image from an insider at Samsung. The rendering... Photo of alleged Galaxy S IV
I don't think it's real, looks like an S3 with the home button removed and an iPhone 5 stretch applied.
if samsung throws an nvidia Tegra to the mix, this phone (if real) could well be an absolute bomb of technological proportions.
Seriously, i dont see what can do a tegra4 against a quadcore exynos 5450... the actual exynos 5120 used in the nexus 10 who is the first soc who can allow the use of a 2560x1600 resolution is just the dual core Cortex ARM A15 version at 1.7ghz of this 5450. The Mali T640 cores used are too a lot faster of the 620 used in the Nexus 10. Without saying the exynos 5000 series are the first ARM based SOC to support Full Double floating point ( or if you like it better 64bits floating points ( 72Gflops on the dual core version ).. I pass on the the list of features of the Exynos because it will be too long. Sadly, it is not the poor benchmark used on review who will show it. ( just download the whitepaper ) I really dont see it coming at 2ghz anyway..
Why would Samsung use a competing product instead of their own Exynos which has proven to be much faster than Nvidia in the past?
I don't want slow expensive tegra garbage in my android devices. I would purchased an Asus transformer prime but Tegra ruined that option for me. Samsung Exynos is so much better it's in the nexus 7, 10, and note 2.
looks like a slightly shrunken Galaxy Note II with a stretched screen to me, lens flare is easy to add in if you're good with Photoshop. The Nexus 7 has a Tegra 3 T30L chip. Only the Nexus 10, Note 2, Note 10.1 and International GS IIIs have the Exynos chips in them. Not all of them have been patched and still has that kernel bug (bug doesn't affect the Nexus 10 as it only affects Exynos 4 chips). deltatux
so will the battery life. phones have become laptops only with much worse battery life. great specs none the less Apple might sue them again if that the case, seeing that all apples does these day.
Looks and sounds good so far, although I'd miss the "mechanical" home button I guess.. Anyways, can't wait for it, as I'm getting tired of my galaxy s1, and the s4 being close to release I'm waiting for it for sure =)
