A meeting after eight years. A meeting with shareholders and investors to plan a careful strategy until 2020. Reason? Galaxy S4 has failed: it has been able to continue the positive path traced by its predecessor, seen by many as the only one able to dent the dominance of Apple, nor failed to unseat the iPhone 5.
“It’s not innovative, it’s too similar to the previous one,” said he’s top of the range smartphone. And if we talk about the need for a decisive change in Cupertino home, in Seoul that we are not too far apart.
The “Design 3.0″, both of which should be part S5 Galaxy that the future Galaxy Note 4 , is the first phase of the new tactic: to renew both on and off line In the last two years has been too much like herself.
Speaking of iPhone 6 we have seen how analysts ask loudly a larger screen; S5 Galaxy This does not need: 5 inches are in fact more than enough. What is needed, instead, an elegant, new ergonomics, and above all a touch of sophistication that, at present, lacks the smartphone. The plastic, albeit guarantees lightness and the ability to remove the battery (feature increasingly in disuse), is the past; ahead metal.
Farewell to plastic?
Especially for the new material have focused a lot of speculation in recent months. According to the Taipei Times reported, for example, Catcher, also supplier of Apple and HTC, will be the company that will, in the coming months, the aluminum shells of the Galaxy S5 according to the above, the South Korean company would already placed an order for at least 30 million units, although the exact amount will be finalized in “early 2014″ for a device that would be marketed during the “second quarter of next year.”
Customers like the Apple (iPad mini and MacBook Air) and HTC (One) suggest that that provider can be a reliable business partner, where such information may prove to be true.
What many users fear, however, is the removal of two features now undervalued in the market smartphone: the presence of the microSD slot and the removable battery, both of which often subordinate to the use of a metallic material for a body “unibody”.
the chorus is added ETNews, tested Korean, which indicated the end of January as the start of mass production of the phone, which would estimate the release date around March / April.
New technologies and hardware sector
There are, however, linked to rumors that Samsung might introduce new technologies for the display. Galaxy S4 has a 5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD, is not enough. In the past weeks, especially in light of recent statements credited to the CEO of Samsung Display, Kinam Kim, it has been suggested the use of an enhanced version of the technology Youm, presented this year during the last Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, at the base of a flexible screen. This screen also reach the 2K resolution (2560 x 1440), a density of 560 ppi and a diagonal of 5 inches, this is the goal to which the company is working, although its real application in 2014 is yet to be assessed carefully. Obviously, in case Samsung decides that next year is the right one to test consumer interest towards flexible displays, Galaxy S5 (or at the latest Galaxy Note 4) would be the perfect end to grip the audience. Finally, it could be two versions distributed as follows: the first with a metal shell and flexible OLED display, the second one made of plastic and with OLED Screen “classic”.
64-bit CPU are certainly not exclusive Apple. The South Korean company leaders themselves have said in recent months that the company will benefit future devices of the same hardware architecture. The assumptions in this regard are twofold: the use of an octa-core Exynos SoC owner or the introduction of the brand new quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, which promises 40% better performance in terms of speed and graphics. Especially in the West, in fact, the company needs a chip compatible with 4G LTE networks, a feature they are lacking the Exynos SoC variants Korean (see Galaxy S4 itself). Next to this, then, the rumor accompany 3 or 4 GB of RAM, so you can properly exploit the potential of a 64-bit CPU.
As for the photographic industry, finally, Samsung could avoid to introduce the optical stabilizer relying on technology ISOCELL while the camera sensor could rise from 13 to 16 megapixels.Samsung introduces the sensor eye and the chat group?
Two interesting additional features that may see the light with its next flagship smartphone have emerged in recent days: Authentication through the sensor eye and chat group. The first would replace the classic passwords in the same way Apple and HTC have opted for the fingerprint reader to log on to the terminal or purchased through the Store official first photo, taken with a front camera in high resolution, work as a reference for successful authentication. The chat, instead, could be part of an upgrade of the messaging application ChatON or be included as an addition built-in TouchWiz Samsung; hard to say in the present state of things. As more well-known services, Google Hangouts, for example, could lead Group Chat advantage of the front camera and without going through third party services.
As always there are those who, waiting for official information, imagine how it could be really the device. Tobias Hornof, for example, has developed a concept, in our view, and based on what transpired so far, quite realistic: the lines of the body of the Galaxy S4 resume those soft, but replace the plastic with metal, and the camera sensor 16 megapixel rear and cleared the physical Home button in favor of three virtual buttons. KitKat Android 4.4 is on board, along with at least 32 GB of internal memory and a CPU 64-bit.
