[RUMOR] New Samsung Galaxy S IV Specs and Pic Revealed

[dgstorm]

Here's an exciting news piece for today. Of course this could easily be a fake, so we will call it a rumor for now, but it's definitely worth sharing. A new image of the Samsung Galaxy S IV complete with a list of specs was supposedly leaked today. Here's the spec-list:

• 5-inch 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED+ Display
• Corning Gorilla Glass 3
• 2GHz A15 Exynos 5450 quad-core CPU
• 2GB DDR3 RAM
• ARM Mali T658 GPU
• 16/32/64GB storage options
• Removable SD card slot (up to 64GB)
• 13MP rear-facing camera
• 2MP front-facing camera
• 4G LTE support
• Multi-purpose / Dedicated camera button
• Bluetooth 5.0
• Front speakers
• 3100 mAh battery
• Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz UI

For the most part, these specs seem similar to leaks and speculation we have heard about previously. However, there is one glaring difference. The processor shown is not the Exynos 5 Octa-Core we heard about from Samsung. It's possible that chip was not quite ready for Samsung's "Next Big Thing," and we may end up seeing it in the SGS5 next year instead. Regardless, several of these features put this device very close to the "Holy Grail" of phones, although the final feature that would put it over the top, a removable battery, is not detailed.

Front speaker look awesome!

Wow - I hope this is all real (and I hope battery remains removable). My early out from my Droid X2 on Verizon is end of this month and my 2yr contract is up at the end of June. It's scary to think this phone will run circles around my HP TouchPad (running CM9). I hope this gets released sooner than later and on Verizon in a timely manner!

If the specs are these ones, I will change my phone for sure. I hope they will come with some revolutionary ideas on the new model.

Wow, I like it, maybe it will be expensive.

5 inch screen? That would be a Note if you ask me........

This photo is from the old Galaxy S III rumors, if I remember correctly.

I'm pretty sure it won't use a Super AMOLED Plus screen or the camera key. Exynos 5450 didn't seem to be able to match the performance of the latest devices, so I'd be kind of disappointed. Everything else seems fine to me.
