The Exynos 5450 chipset comes up again, but can the S IV really have four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 2GHz?

[deleted post]Hopefully you know what your talking about! Samsung up to Nokia pureview? Are you shore yo wanna go there? More then 20 Samsung devices to come and will still not get closer to pureview technology with Carl Zeiss lenses. And what is pixon 12 to arc s? An alian?:))). You mean Samsung pixon 12 and Sony Ericsson Acro S 12 megapixels? If it's sharper is only better for amateurs, for me, is better to be smother and with less less noise as your pixon has:))... Learn some photography then say that crapp is up to pureview, not even close. LOL

    About the power consumption, keep in mind that Samsung announced a quad core A15 with lower power consumption than current duals, thanks to improved manufacturing process among other things. It would be a perfect match for the next Galaxy flagship.

      yes lets have aluminium to get the premium feel, then cover it with a $10 protective cover on it.

      In other words, plastic or aluminium theres no difference besides the weight difference, when we all put protective covers in our phones.

        i said that a while ago and have to say i am still sticking to that chain of thought, we need something different in our phones now, screens have been doe, pretty useless quad cores have been done so now we need innovation in design and battery life and please phone makers what is wrong with putting a proper hd screen on a 4.3 inch screen? companys are missing a trick by not doing so....alot of i phone users are only sticking to i phones now because they find the 4.8 inch screens to big but seeing as anything below that seems to be hit with poor ppi they have no choice but to stay with apple.

          When this rumor was spread out for the first time, they said the Exynos will run at 2Ghz not the phone... For example the S4 Pro can run at 2.5 Ghz, but because of the poor cooling and high power draw, it's downclocked to 1.5 Ghz in phones because that's the optimal. 1.6 or 1.7 Ghz would make sense to me though.

            damn true!

            I'm happy with the build quality of note2 and sgs3. They are far from cheap look and feel. Plastic and polycarbonate are durable, light, and relatively cheaper.

            My samsung wave2 is made of metal. It is only 3.7" and feels really heavy in my hand. It's also slippery. And with use, the paint DOES chip.

            So, i don't mind if samsung create sgs4 with polycarbonate. Just give us more beautiful design, crisper screen, and more important, MORE POWER & STAMINA

                    Allot of complaining but i bet you will all buy it, just like when s3 came out. Meaning, no personality phones for no personality people;). Bet 12 mp from n8 is better then this plastic 13 mpLOL. Power of innovation from SamdungPASS PASS PASS.

                      Nze 1, 20 Nov 2012Samsung oh samsung! Why at thou showing thou inferiority co... moreThis is still rumours...but even SONY will make a 4 core phone...is the market that pushes to do that. I love SONY very much and believe me, I was waiting for Xperia V or T but probably V. Then I was thinking saving a few coins and getting instead the RAZR MAXX because of the battery and different design. But then, when it happened a promotion with Samsung in my country I became undecided. Every frikkin day I studied the best of the 3 options. Don't hate me but in the end, the S III won my "heart". Touchwiz improved a lot, S III has unique features, is a very complete phone...I'm very happy with it but hope that SONY catch up with samsung in terms of UI, battery and acessories someday. Even the acessories pend on my decision, and in the end, the thousand acessories that are avaiable for S III made me choose Samsung (the brand I never thought to use again but I simple don't regret choosing it). I'm a former(the past +/- 3 years) Nokia 6600, Samsung U700, Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic + Gigabyte Gs1305, Samsung Gio + Nokia 700, Sony Ericsson LWW + Smartwatch + Alcatel OT995, SONY Xperia S...but now, Nokia X1-01 + Samsung GSIII + Smartwatch user... and honestly, never felt more pleased with the last SUM. The other former and latest flagships I deal with them everyday in my line of work, Mobiles Store ;)...samsung made a great job and I wasn't blind to see that.

                        AnonD-18905, 20 Nov 2012On the contrary . Galaxy line till now was just about specs... moreActually fact is that even the S1 had all around good quality. Crapple never had the best quality anything. They just steal and copy and buy. HTC better screen?? Nokia has always had amazing cameras. And best now, but many Samsung cameras have rivaled and some were easily better. Go to the comparison tool and pin the pi on 12 against the arc s and another of your choice. And yeah the put s monster battery. If you notice. You had to use four different devices/companies to debunk a single product

                                I think Samsung has the ability to make the casing of this phone something other than plastic and still keep the weight feather light... much like they did with their series 9 laptops where they used the aircraft material to make the shell.. it is still one of the lightest ultrabooks to date so I'm sure they can do the same with the GS4.. whoever said the GS3 is only specs, has no clue what they're talking about. I still think it is too wide as there is a lot of wasted areas on the sides and too long too with about an inch or unnecessary space at top and bottom. I think they could put the speaker grill in the sameplace where their llogo is and get rid of the bezels at the sides.. lets hope they listen and give the GS4 perfection..... cheers.

                                  Samsung users wanted ALUMINIUM case to look phone solid and not cheap.
