Samsung’s Galaxy S3 launched to much critical acclaim when it was unveiled in May last year, we awarded it our Best Buy award and it still remains our top pick Android handset. No wonder, then, that speculation surrounding the launch of its follow-up is mounting.
While Samsung is keeping tight-lipped on its future product launches, a series of ‘leaks’ and ‘source quotes’ claim the South Korean firm is putting the final touches to its fourth-generation flagship handset – almost certainly to be called the Samsung Galaxy S4. Here, we round up all the latest speculation to find out what to expect.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
A lot of Samsung watchers seem to think that the rear camera on the Galaxy S4 will be upgraded to 13 megapixels from 8 megapixels. Remember, though, that the number of megapixels in your camera does not determines its quality. (Even if the GS4 “only” has an 8 megapixel camera, I’d expect the camera to improve, since that’s just something that happens from generation to generation on top-tier smartphones).
Also commonly mentioned are 2GB RAM and Android Jelly Bean 4.2 with Samsung’s TouchWiz software on top. I also heavily suspect that the Galaxy S4 will include an omnipresent, expensive advertising blitz, but that’s pure conjecture on my part.
Though many of the details about the Galaxy S4 appear to have slipped out, there’s a good chance that Samsung still has some surprises in store for its March 14 reveal. We still haven’t seen a photo, or even a mockup of the device. Samsung also likely has more new features to show off, given the way it has expanded on its software at past smartphone unveilings.
HuffPostTech will be there, of course, covering the entire thing, so make sure to check back next Thursday for all the real, actual details of what Samsung hopes will be its next big thing.
