Samsung Galaxy S4 Android phone
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will, just like all other Galaxy smartphones, run on the Android operating system from Google. As it still takes several months before Samsung brings out official information on the Galaxy S4, it remains uncertain what Android version will be applied. The new flagship smartphone will boost a new processor, it is said that the Galaxy S4 will incorporate the new Exynos 5450, a 2Ghz quad-core A15 processor. Whether this extremely powerful processor will be truly included into the Galaxy S4 is still questionable, as such processing power asks for a lot of battery power.

Samsung is known for its high quality and extreme bright AMOLED displays. Just like with the S3, there are many rumors circulating about the screen type and size of the Galaxy S4. More and more people start to talk about an OLED screen. These displays have the advantage -compared to LED displays- that they consume less power, while being lighter and thinner. If the information is correct, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will feature a 4.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels.

The Galaxy S4 will probably offer a 13 megapixel camera on the back and a 1.9-megapixel HD front-camera for video calling.
