*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S4 Thread ***

It's 1.6ghz Octa in UK : Techradar

The international version of the Samsung Galaxy S IV is going to be powered by the Exynos 5 Octa chipset, which features four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.8GHz, four Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.2GHz and the PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU. There will be a second version for some markets, which will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset with its 4 Krait 300 cores and Adreno 320 GPU. Both versions will offer LTE connectivity and 2GB of RAM. --www.gsmarena.com

All they really advertised were a handful of new TouchWiz features and that's really about it.

I think for most people, the screen quality improvement and battery life will swing it (possibly camera too).

Next to the HTC One:

The Verge referring to it as a Galaxy S IIIS :p

The Galaxy S IIIS: how Samsung copies Apple by copying itself

So here we are, fully irradiated in the afterglow of another blockbuster launch event from the Android juggernaut that is Samsung. Another year, another overwhelming set of new features, and another amazing campaign of hype and anticipation-building. Only the new phone looks just like the old phone. Isn't that supposed to be a cardinal sin?

Until today, it was believed that only Apple could get away with mildly refreshing its flagship smartphone device without suffering an apposite dip in sales and consumer interest. Now, Samsung is emulating the Cupertino strategy in a bid to prove that it is every bit the globe-conquering big timer that Apple is. The Galaxy S4 design is, quite literally, the Galaxy S III’s design expanded to a 5-inch screen size. It moves Samsung further away from Apple in terms of pure specs and measurements, but it closes the distance between the two mobile leaders in terms of strategy.

Samsung's Galaxy S4 works with gloves

While nearly every single detail of Samsung’s Galaxy S4 leaked ahead of its Unpacked event this evening, the company did save one trick up its sleeve: the Galaxy S4 will work with gloves. The feature is essentially the same as what we saw from Nokia’s Lumia 820 and 920 last year — you can use your phone in the cold without having to buy special handwear. No word if it’s the same Synaptics technology under the hood, but we wouldn’t be surprised.

I don't see me getting this over my Nexus 4. There really isn't any ground breaking features these days.

Good for people upgrading from their S II 2 years ago!
 
Isn't the Note III supposed to be... 6.5"? That's taking the cake a little. Would rather step down to 5 than increase another inch unless the body itself remains the same as the Note II!
