One of the main news of the mobile market was the news that the Galaxy S IV will not receive the processor Exynos 5 Octa. Samsung decided to abandon its own processors, as it faced their overheating and could not eliminate it before the device began production. Instead, the flagship will receive a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor clocked at 1.9 GHz. Recall that this processor is now installed on the HTC One and LG Optimus G Pro and have a frequency of 1.7 GHz. The novelty will have 2 GB of RAM, it will be sold in versions with 16.32 and 64 GB of internal memory.
Samsung Galaxy S IV will get a 4.99-inch Full HD display SoLux. Unfortunately, there is no information about whether it will be the same LCD display as the HTC One, but it is known that Samsung faced difficulties in producing Full HD Super AMOLED matrices in the required amount, and at the beginning of the year the company opened a new factory for the production of LCD-panels. Thus, here we can see a violation of traditions - the flagship will receive an LCD display, not Super AMOLED.
It also became known that Samsung will release the S IV in the new design from a photo that the device will lose its predecessor's smooth forms. ( photo under the cut ) ')
