Galaxy S4 Surpasses iPhone 5 Retina Display

 For a long time many companies including Samsung have played catch-up with Apple. When the first Android phones were presented I though that they would never even get close to taking a bite of the big market share that Apple had, especially on American soil. But here we are today - Samsung is no longer playing catch-up in any regard. Many critics, tech enthusiasts and respected reviewers are saying that the Galaxy S4 full HD display is much better than the retina display of the iPhone 5. What I am wondering however is, does an average consumer notice and/or care about this?

Galaxy S4 Surpases iPhone 5 Retina Display
 
Forbes recently published an article on their website which tried to stay as objective as possible without offending either of the parties. However, in spite of the article title being "Samsung's Galaxy S4 Display Catches Up With iPhone Retina" the author was clearly trying to say - it didn't just catch up, it is better by a mile.

 Of course, the average consumer will not notice this. In fact, I am quite sure I wouldn't really notice either. I wouldn't really even like to discus this over as it is a bit useless. Who wants to read an article explaining which device has a better representation of the shades of green? Well, if you do want to read on that, go to Forbes and see their opinion.

 What I would like to talk about, however, is innovation. Lately, Apple hasn't been doing much of it and on this you all have to agree. It is not like Samsung is pushing things beyond our expectations but they are working a lot harder than the folks at Apple. You see, unlike Samsung, Apple contracts other companies to create their parts for them. Thus, Apple's innovation is limited to the combined innovation of their suppliers, which hasn't been very impressive in the past several years.

 A Sammy/ Galaxy S4 fan might be happy to hear this, but honestly this is not something to be overjoyed by as this affects us all. Until Apple starts doing things the right way, the competition will not be as difficult as it should be in terms of innovation and we will take a lot of time to move forward.

Or is a slow pacing something that you all prefer? Leave us a comment down bellow!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Displays Already in Production?

 Tech blogs and media are claiming that Samsung is ramping up the production of the 4.99-inch Full HD display which sources expect will debut on the Galaxy S4. Some of the portal such as CNET are also suggesting that the displays will be ready for the smartphone's release on the 15th of March. Once again, all these reputable blogs don't really have a reliable source, but some of them have been known to get it right so I am ready to guess that there is certainly a bit of truth in some of the major rumors. So, what else do we have to report about the Samsung Galaxy S4?

Galaxy S4 Display Production
An old leak published by SamMobile
 This new display isn't something abstract to us since we already saw glimpse of it. As you may remember, Samsung actually first showed off the 1080p HD display on a roadmap at CES 2013. This was fairly recently since CES took place in early January. It appears that the Samsung engineers did a lot of work on the early prototype and that is it ready for massive production. in early January, and it appears that Samsung Display is ready to, or has already started mass production of the new 4.99-inch Full HD display.

 Alright this all makes sense and nobody can say anything against this news since we already saw that the HD display exists. However, where does the news of a March 15 release date come from? Well, from what I understand, the report comes from a Korean publisher called DDaily and was republished by other blogs. I am not sure how I feel about this report since I cannot find the original article and I would probably have a hard time understanding it, bit my guess it is that it is another made-up story, just in Korean language. Then again, the 15th of March isn't such a bad date and it does give Samsung a lot of time to play their cards a prepare a very nice release. 

 So what do you think about all of this? Does the reported production of Galaxy S4 displays mean that the release date is just around the corner? Is March a very likely month for this smartphone? Leave us your comment down bellow this article!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Design and Photos

 Galaxy S4 photo leaks are not a trustworthy thing on the Internet as 3D and Photoshop experts will not have a hard time designing and faking a render/model. There have been plenty of these leaks already and people seem to take them for granted, while the truth is that we are perhaps nowhere near what the device will actually look like. However, let us base our opinion on what we know so far about the S series and what rumors are suggesting to create our own theory of what we should be expecting. Sounds like fun? Since there are really no Galaxy S4 news this week, let us try to do this together.

 So, let us start from the latest Galaxy S4 leaked image:

Galaxy S4 photo vs Galaxy S3

 The second phone is obviously the Galaxy S3, while the first one is the rumored photo of the Galaxy S4 which highlights its visual and design difference from the previous model. We are expected to notice that the phone will be larger and that it will feature a 4,99" display. The image also suggests that the phone will keep its physical Home button and that it will feature physical volume buttons. Round edges have been a feature of the Galaxy S series and this design approach seems to be a hybrid between the S3 and S2. 

 To be even more accurate, the S4 photo we posted above resembles the Galaxy Note 2 more than any of the S series smartphones. So, here are some Galaxy S4 news and tips for you: expect a lot of fake images in the following months!

 So, can we create any prediction of our own? It would certainly be possible to guess, but it is hard to say anything that nobody has mentioned yet. What we are betting strongly on, however, is the 4,99" inch display which is bound to be a feature of Galaxy S4. Another thing to expect is that Samsung will stick to some basic white and black color combinations for their first few models before they release other design variations. 

 Also, it is easy to expect a stylus pen to become a part of the Galaxy S4 accessory kit and some websites such as SamMobile are even betting on it. Due to the predicted larger screen size this would make perfect sense, although this is something we can live without.

Galaxy S4 to sport a 4,99 inch full HD screen?

 It seems that the motto "the bigger the better" is the official slogan of the mobile industry giants this year. It isn't just Samsung with their Galaxy S4 who will be doing the 5-inch flagship trick, but just about every other company out there! Sony is no stranger to the rule with their new Sony Xperia Z nor is HTC with their Butterfly. It is only natural to assume that Samsung would follow this trend right? Oh, but this rumor isn't just based on speculation, but it is neither backed-up by a "leaked Galaxy S4 prototype". The truth is we just got some hints from Samsung themselves about some things in Las Vegas, at CES 2013.

The evolutions of Samsung's display

 Namely, they presented a working prototype model of an unknown  device which used a curved display that had a full HD screen. A lot of people scream "OMG that must be the Galaxy S4 prototype", but sadly this isn't the case. However, what is true and will become reality really soon, is that Samsung will be massively producing 4,99 inch screens in 2013. These will be full HD with 440 pixels per inch which should guarantee a supreme user experience.
