Galaxy S4 Aurora Red at AT&T

 It seems that AT&T is once again the first to score a very unique device, this time it is the Galaxy S4 Aurora Red, a beautiful smartphone that will surely win the hearts of many. The exclusive new device was launched today by Samsung and AT&T and it comes with 16GB of storage. So, how much does the new Galaxy S4 Aurora Red cost exactly? Well, the device is actually fairly priced which is an odd thing to see considering that these special models are usually more expensive. The Aurora Red will cost $639.99 if you decide to purchase it from AT&T off contract or you can choose to pay $199.99 with a new two-year contract.

Do you like the Galaxy S4 Aurora Red. Is it a "girl thing" or is the new design unisex? Click on the product photo to zoom by the way!

 This is not the only new color that the S4 will come in, but these will get introduced over time and via different carriers. Samsung pulled a similar "trick" last year with their previous model and it proved to be a success. Experts are saying that Sammy will need every sale that they can get though since the latest flagship isn't doing so well on the charts anymore. While it is still selling well, it is becoming obvious that sale figures are dropping. The Galaxy S4 Aurora Red and similar unique models are just one of the strategies for Samsung to boost sales and get ahead in the game.

 Of course, many see this in a different way. Fans will argue that nobody really makes their choice based on the color on the phone. It's not like one would choose a bad two-year contract just to get a phone in a different color than what other carriers are offering. People feel as this is just Samsung telling AT&T: "you guys are special, we love you". Still, one would be surprised how important color can be to some people and how much impact the design leaves on their decision. Devices such as Galaxy S4 Aurora Red are designed with such people in mind of course and this is a very niche device.

Galaxy S IV Cases Reveal Its Design? Not Very Promising Folks!

 So, yet another leak is coming ahead of launch and this time we know it is real, we just don't know if it is true. Let me rephrase that, Mobile Geeks has recently demonstrated a set of phone cases from the manufacturer TZX China  which claim that they have already made an accurate Galaxy S4 cases based on the leaks they got from the company itself.  Have a look at the photo or skip a bit down to get to the video presentation of Galaxy S IV cases from TZX.

The black case is the hard case for the S4, the other one is a S3 case

 Based on what we can see from the cases the Galaxy S4 will be (as we expected) quite a bit larger than the previous model. The hard case also suggests that it will be a bit thicker as well, although it seems that it won't be much wider. It will certainly be quite different than the S3 since Samsung needs to put in room for the 4,99 inch display screen. From what I have seen based on the video and assuming this is case which does have the proper dimensions - the Galaxy S IV will be a lot more "boxy".

 Honestly I am not digging that design option at all. When I try to imagine some of the renders we have seen over the months inside of any of those cases my head starts to swirl and hurt. I must admit that I am quite worried how the Galaxy S IV design will actually turn out. But, enough of my whining, let us look at the video from Mobile Geeks which shows quite well what this case is all about:

 Has your mind been blown yet? Well, I can't blame you, since that video didn't exactly tell us much. But none the less let me ask you - is this the real thing is or someone just trying to make a viral video to promote a website/company? We have seen these sort of advertising campaigns in the past. Just last month another company presented their own "Galaxy S4 cases" but they failed quite big, since that case was large enough to fit the Galaxy Note 2!

 So, dear readership, what is your thought on the subject?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Design - a Fan Concept!

 Hey dear readership, how's it going? There are really no Galaxy S4 leaks and stories worth mentioning today, so we thought we'd spice it up a bit! How, you may ask, well, let me tell you! Instead of doing another hypothetical review, today I will focus on what the Galaxy S4 might actually look like - if the fans had a chance to make it! This is an article that is inspired by the hard work of the guys from AndroidPIT who created an amazing Galaxy S4 design render which I will be basing this article around.

 Here is the photo:

Looking nice isn't it?

 Looks really good doesn't it? I am not aware of the name of the author, but whoever this person is I salute them! Kudos for the great work! Yes, I really do like this concept and I find it a nice mix between two very different styles. Will the Galaxy S4 design really look anything like this? I don't really know, but if this is the path that the designer decide to go by, I will be very pleased!

 Now, somebody might come along and say - they only took a photo of another phone, made it longer and added a different display and some color effects. Indeed, this person would be correct, but even so, there some technical details about this design that make me very excited about it!

 So what are these things? Well, first of all, they say that the new Galaxy S4 will be a 5-inch smartphone and this means that it will be a lot bigger than we would like it to be. However, should it feature this sort of edge-to-edge display, the size would not have to increase much as all! And honestly, some people really dig this style anyway! If you are afraid of getting the phone damage too easily with such a design, then get a strong, durable, case kit and all your troubles will come to an end!

 I also like the back design that the authors clearly ripped-off from the LG Google Nexus 4. However, this is something I wouldn't mind. Indeed, wouldn't it be awesome if you Galaxy S4 was really a compilation of the best things out there and still brought in a lot of original features of its own? Now that would really be something!

 So, while we wait, feel free to leave a comment and tell us how you see things! :)

Samsung Galaxy S4 Design Leaked (yet again!)

 We have a new entry to our photos page thanks to the latest set of leaked Galaxy S4 photos. This time, we have a elegant, sleek design to show to you guys and girls! Personally, I wouldn't trust this photograph for a second, but I must admit that it looks quite good as this Galaxy S4 render is very impressive. Included on the photo is the expected logotype as well as some rumored hardware specs which are based on what we have heard in past reports. The only difference from what are hopping for/expecting to get out of the S4 is the processor. We talked about how Samsung might include their "Octa processor" into this device, but the image suggests that users will instead get a 2.0 GHz A15 Exynos Quad-core processor. This is practically the same as the Exynos 5 Octa has the same performance at top level.

 Here's the photo:

This Samsung Galaxy S4 render looks quite good really!

Now, all things considered, this render is very likely a fake design. In fact, there is a 99% of chance of that being so. However, a lot of the fans who have seen this photo actually liked it and said that they would really be satisfied if Samsung adopted a style similar to this.

 The Galaxy S series has featured a nice, classy design in the past, but it really  did lack some innovation. This render does seem like a more elegant and sci-fi take on the S series which is something that I really enjoy.

The Specs

  We also reported in the past that the Galaxy S4 will come with a 2600 mAh battery, but the image above suggests a 3100 mAh Li-Ion battery. In both cases however, this will probably be a removable battery, but the larger the capacity the better! Along to this we will also add that the spec sheet above suggests that the phone will be using Gorilla Glass 3. Since this is something that is not yet available, a lot of Galaxy S4 rumors are suggesting that Samsung will have to wait for Corning to release the new technology before they can put their S4 together and start selling it. Of course, this is just a rumor, but out of all the wild-cards I have heard I want it the most likely.

So, did you like this latest Galaxy S4 leaked design? Have a look at the complete list and tell us which one is your favorite so far!

Samsung Galaxy S4 with S Pen in April?

 We mentioned that the Galaxy S4 might be featuring an S Pen a long time ago and this is hardly fresh Galaxy S4 news, however, this time around we have some new details, along with a supposed release date of the new device. Western blogs across the web are reporting that Korean media has announced a report that the S4 will have S Pen functionality along with a 4,99 inch full HD display screen. This beast is expected to arrive in April 2013 and Enuri (a Korean media) has reported that Samsung is already hard at work in order to actually meet this deadline. 

Fake promotion poster of a 'Galaxy S4' with the S Pen

Korean media suggests that Samsung has already developed most of the technology that they plan to integrate inside of the Galaxy S4's hardware and that we have already seen some of these technologies in action. For example. the SGS4 is expected to come with a 4,99" Super AMOLED Full HD screen which is something similar to what we have seen on the Galaxy Note series. Samsung is expected to offer a great display resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels which means 441 pixels per inch. This is quite impressive, but is is something brand new that we have not yet seen? Not, it really isn't and if Sammy hopes to sell 10 million units a month they will have to dish out something far more impressive if you ask me!

 Another detail that was revealed is that we should expect the Galaxy S4 to be a bit thicker with 9.1 mm of thickness which is a big bigger when compared to the Galaxy S3's 8.6 mm of thickness. Honestly though I would quite like this change as I am not such a huge fan of thin mobile devices and I prefer bulkier models. This if of course a matter of preference, but most people will hardly tell the difference.

So what say you dear readership? Are you excited about the Galaxy S4 coming out with an S Pen?

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:

 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 Early Presentation in February? Not a Release Date!

 It seems a lot of journalists can't tell the difference between a presentation and an actual release date. The current story is that the Galaxy S4 would be presented at the end of February at the World Mobile Congress (WMC) which I honestly find difficult to picture. I am not doubting that Samsung has been hard at work creating the latest flagship smartphone for their Galaxy S series, but isn't it too soon? Of course, if Samsung does give us a look at the S4 in February, this doesn't mean that the device will immediately be ready for sale the next week. 

A fake, fan render of the Galaxy S4

 However, in all honesty, the Galaxy S4 is a phone that has elite status in the mobile industry due to the success of the previous models. A device like this isn't something that Samsung will just present at WMC, this a sort of device that deserves its own event, and another rumor is that we will see a special event for the Galaxy S4 somewhere in mid-March or at the start of April. A popular blog called SamMobile posted that April the 15th is the day when the S4 will be revealed to the general public and presented. Personally, I wouldn't trust this report, but April seems pretty possible for a presentation date. After all, Samsung is under a lot of pressure since other companies are catching up to the pace and offering powerful smartphone and phablet devices of their own.

 In other Galaxy S4 news, the reports last week focused more on the device's appearance. These reports are claiming that the new Samsung Galaxy S4 will originally come to the market in two colors - black and white, which is a classic approach. Although you can expect for their designer to come up with some fancy names such as Midnight Rush or something along those lines. Another thing you can expect of Samsung is to release additional colors several months after the release like they did with the S3. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing something like Sapphire Black on the S4, but that is just personal opinion. What do you guys and girls think about the role that design will play in selling the Galaxy S4?
