Samsung Galaxy SIV Rumours

Since there aren’t officially available specifications for Galaxy S4 we report some possible ones. The Samsung Galaxy S4 specs will include a Exynos 5 Octa processor with eight cores, 2GB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX-544MP3 at 533MHz GPU. This chip set will be faster than the one found in the Nexus 10 and will be made on a 28nm process. The Samsung Exynos 5 Octa is a chip that was announced at CES 2013 on January 10 2013. The Exynos 5 Octa is built on Samsung’s 28nm process (5000X thinner than a human hair) features four ARM Cortex A15 cores (1.7GHz) and four Cortex A7 cores (1.2GHz). Technically, the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa features 8 cores as its name indicates. However, only four cores can be active at any given time.

4X ARM Cortex A15 cores at 1.8GHz
4X ARM Cortez A7 cores at 1.2GHz
28nm Samsung manufacturing process
Graphics: PowerVR SGX-544MP3 at 533MHz

The Galaxy S4 might also include a 1080p 4.99-inch Super AMOLED display.

Samsung is expected to unveil these new screens at the Consumer Electronics Show set to take place in the beginning of next year.

The company has already begun producing these new displays that have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 with a pixel density of more than 441ppi. This is twice as many pixels as Apple’s Retina display found on the iPhone.

Another Samsung Galaxy S4 specifications leak revealed that the new device will feature a 13-megapixel camera.
