Samsung GALAXY S3 has been on the market for some time. With its powerful configuration, large screen and round pebble design, it has won widespread popularity among consumers. Within a few months, it sold tens of millions of units, and even repeatedly affected the dominance of the iPhone. With good sales performance, Samsung has made persistent efforts. At present, Samsung is preparing the next generation GALAXY S4 mobile phone. It is said that this phone will be officially unveiled at the MWC conference in March next year, and the official launch time may be around May. As the flagship pillar of the GALAXY family, the S4 has a great responsibility, which can make other models inferior only in terms of configuration. Now let's guess the configuration of this model based on the existing information.

1、 Quad core A15 architecture processor

There is no doubt that Samsung GALAXY S4 will be equipped with a quad core processor, and it will be the latest Exynos processor with A15 architecture. This processor may be named "Exynos 5450", which is based on ARM Cortex-A15 architecture, adopts a 28nm nanometer process, and the main frequency is locked at 2GHz.

Samsung used a quad core Exynos 4412 processor in the previous generation of GALAXY S3, based on the A9 architecture; Later, Chromebook and Nexus 10 are equipped with dual core Exynos 5250 processors based on A15 architecture. In the next S4, four core A15 architecture processors are likely to be used.

2、 Eight cores Mali -T658 graphic location Manager

In fact, the eight core Mali-T658 graphics processor will be a part of the Exynos 5450, providing strong graphics support for the whole chip. ARM Mali-T658 GPU is a new product based on Midgard architecture and proven leading technology. It provides desktop level performance by doubling the number of GPU cores, doubling the number of arithmetic pipes in each core, and improving compiler and pipeline efficiency. In terms of performance, the graphics performance provided by Mali-T658 is up to ten times that of Mali-400-MP GPU, and its GPU computing performance will be four times higher than that of Mali-T604 GPU.

3、 5-inch 1080p full HD Super AMOLED screen

According to the current rumor, Samsung GALAXY S4 will be equipped with a 4.99 inch Super AMOLED screen with a pixel accuracy of 441 ppi. In comparison, the pixel accuracy of iPhone 5 is only 326 ppi, so you can imagine the shocking effect of S4 screen. Once the screen is mass produced, it will provide users with a more extreme visual experience.

The current S3 is equipped with a 720p screen, and its display effect has attracted users. With the advent of 1080p high-definition mobile phones such as HTC Droid DNA, Samsung will also upgrade the Super AMOLED screen to the 1080p level, further consolidating its leadership in the screen field.

4、 13 megapixel Sony backlight camera

In the field of cameras, Sony is widely praised by users for its leading performance advantages. At present, there are not a few manufacturers promoting the "BSI backlight" camera as a gimmick, but in fact, only the camera produced by Sony has a SOI underlay, which greatly improves the sensitivity and shooting quality. Therefore, flagship models such as iPhone 4S, Samsung GALAXY S3, and Sony LT26i have adopted the cameras provided by Sony Home. Although the cost is high, the effect is obvious.

S4 may be equipped with 13 million cameras (with pictures)

There is almost no doubt that Samsung will continue to use the backlight camera provided by Sony in the GALAXY S4, and the pixels will be increased to 13 million, with a maximum of 4208 × 3120 pixels for photo shooting. At the same time, the camera will improve its algorithm and process to ensure the follow-up of the final image quality.

5、 NFC function

Although Apple did not add NFC function to iPhone 5, it does not prove that NFC has no future. As the leader of Android manufacturers, Samsung will not give up any mainstream and high-tech functions. NFC is one of them. At present, Samsung has used this function in S3. Although the daily use probability is not much, I believe that it will continue to be inherited in the next GALAXY S4.

6、 Wireless charging function

Since the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, the wireless charging function has attracted widespread attention. As one of the main selling points, wireless charging makes Lumia 920 different from the current mainstream mobile phone products, with distinctive personality. At present, more and more new computers begin to use the wireless charging function. Samsung GALAXY S3 also mentioned this when it was released. Although it has not been implemented yet, it is believed that users will not wait too long.

7、 Ceramic materials for radar watch

As early as before the release of GALAXY S3, it was disclosed that it would use ceramic materials from the well-known Swiss watchmaking company Rado (radar) series watches to improve the texture of the whole machine. Rado watch is famous for its world leading high-tech ceramic watch, which has hardened ceramic design technology. The ceramic alloy obtained is strong and wear-resistant, and lightweight, and is widely loved by users. Although this news has not come true, we can also boldly guess here whether this material will really be used in Samsung GALAXY S4?

8、 Android 5.0 system

Android 5.0 will be the next generation Android operating system, which is rumored to be launched at the end of 2012. At 0:30 a.m. Beijing time on June 28, 2012, Google I/O Conference was held in San Francisco. Google announced the launch of Android 4.1 operating system, code named Jelly Bean, and launched the world's first Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.1. At present, the rumored code of Android 5.0 is Key Lime Pie. According to the release time, Samsung GALAXY S4 is just in time for Android 5.0, which is very likely to be installed.

Summary:

Samsung GALAXY S4, as the flagship work of Samsung's next generation, shoulders the responsibility of continuing the honor of previous generations of "GALAXY", which can be said to be very interesting. Product differentiation will also be the focus of its development. If it can successfully maintain the leading position of previous generations, Samsung will have the opportunity to directly impact the iPhone and finally determine its hegemony.
