To grow the hold and capture attention, the Asian manufacturer has released a short teaser trailer of 18 seconds which, in reality, it appears very little. However there are those who do not exclude the possible presentation of Samsung Galaxy S4. The question marks are many, because the Oriental Society has never mentioned this possibility. And indeed, most analysts think that the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona is one stage more ideal.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will not be launched at CES 2013

To open in this scenario was particularly the Korea Times: “Samsung wants to keep his schedule annually. The Galaxy S4 will feature some cosmetic changes but will keep its popular rectangular shape with round edges.” None of these rumors have been confirmed by the South Korean multinational. Obviously, the strategic moves should be evaluated in a broader context that takes into account how will the other smartphone manufacturers, Apple at all, and new technologies may be implemented.

Anyway, about the possible specifications something starts to leak. No certainty, of course, but a good starting point for the start of a period of rumors. The most important change would be the introduction of a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, flexible and durable , the size of which would reach up to 4.9 inches with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and 441 ppi density, interface TouchWiz and protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The heart of the terminal would be represented by a quad-core Exynos chip 450 flanked by 2 GB of RAM.

And yet, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS with all its load of novelties and, in the back, a 13 megapixel camera sensor to be used to capture images and record videos in high definition. The new top of the range would support NFC (Near Field Communication) useful for mobile payments. Regarding the display has expressed Mark Newman, an analyst at Stanford Bernsteain, “is that the S4 S5 will indestructible screens and maybe even flexible or retractable by 2014.”

Samsung Galaxy S4 / J Project: Towards a shatterproof screen

The smartphone will be released in April, a few months to see what the belly one is called under the code name “Project J.” A characteristic flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 will finally be presented at CES 2013 in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11, 2013 began to circulate.

To compete with the iPhone 5, Samsung already thinks Samsung Galaxy S4 and we already know the date of presentation and its release date. In any case, the first rumors tend to confirm that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is expected at MWC in Barcelona in February 2013 and a release date in March 2013 on the same principle as the S3.
