Galaxy S4 & Eye-tracking - Sounds Legit!

 The Galaxy S4 will be announced on March 14 which is only a week away, and the rumors are spreading more rapidly than before! Yesterday we gave you a nice rumor update which focused on what we know about the specs/hardware. Today, we will dedicate this post to talking about some interesting features that Samsung is working on. Namely, the rumors suggest that eye-tracking will now be a feature in the new Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. But what does this exactly mean and is there any proof to support this story?

 Take a look at the following screenshot:

 Now, it is hard to say if this screenshot is real or not, but it does bring in some interesting debate. As you can see the Galaxy S4 is supposed to be very 'smart' with features such as Smart stay, Smart rotation, Smart pause and Smart scroll. You can read the description of each on the photo above and as you can clearly see all of them are based on head or eye tracking which is really cool. However, is this an actual feature - an innovation - or just a marketing gimmick, is the question that a lot of people will be asking once the device is released.

 One thing does bother me on the above screenshot however,  and I am not sure how many people have noticed it - TouchWiz hasn't changed one bit! Most people won't care, and I don't either to be honest, but I was expecting more fresh style on Samsung's end.

....Now, moving on! Let us look at another 'leak'! This time we have a screenshot of the Galaxy S4 which looks quite promising and very elegant. There isn't much commentary following this pic, so just take it for what it is dear readers.

Galaxy S4 Wireless Charger Clears the FCC? [Photos]

 Just when I was afraid that this week will start off poorly when it comes to fresh new Galaxy S4 news, rumors and overall content I stumbled up on a very interesting report involving the rumored wireless charger. What makes the story more believable is a set of photos that was published along with the report and it is quite clear that this is an official Samsung product. However, whether or not this is actually a wireless charger for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone remains to be seen. Either way, the device has cleared though the FCC tests and is ready to be released at the same time as the latest Galaxy smartphone.

 The source of the leak is the popular and well-respected tech blog Engadget which has published some nice photos and info on the S4 and the charger on the photos. Apparently the device is 90mm wide and uses Qi wireless charging standards. Apart that "qi" is actually pronounced as "chee" I can only tell you that this system can transfer power over a small distance of 1.6 inches.

Here is the first photo from the FCC test:

 As you can see above this is probably the first photo takes before the FCC's tests since the device is still intact on the photograph. If I understand correctly, the official codename of this wireless charger pad is EAD-W10EWE and Samsung hasn't really been all that secretive about it since a lot of technical details about the tech and schematics of this device where allowed to be released. However, as you may have guessed it there is no official mention of the Galaxy S4 anywhere nor that the S4 will be using this device. This just somehow brings me back to a video we posted not too long ago - Don't trust all those Galaxy S4 Rumors!

 Is this actually an upcoming wireless charging kit for the Galaxy S3 and the Note 2? These who devices have been out for a while and the tops months of their slaves have passed quite some time ago. Still, these devices are more that competitive and are selling quite well already. These charging kits would certainly give an extra reason to new consumers to buy the devices in the first place, and Samsung can make some extra money from the old owners of these devices. 

 Here's how it all looked once the FCC took the device part by part!

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 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 Fake Event Invitation - Do These People Ever Get Bored?

 Just like last year, there is a new rumor/fake/leak/photo every day and this is slightly getting annoying. Right now its hard to separate the Galaxy S4 news from fakes and fan-made stories. However, this one leak will not fool us! A Korean member of the SamMobile forum posted a photo of what appear to be a invitation to the Samsung Galaxy S4 launch event which should (as the card) says, take place on March 4, 2013. A closer look at the photo will help you see the edges of a computer or laptop screen on which this digital fraud is located. We did a little zoom in as well and saw that this was done on a LG device. Of the irony! Have a look for yourself:

 Do you want some more reasons why this Galaxy S4 invitation is fake? Well, here are a couple:

• If this were an official invitation it would have a much cleaner design and much better tagline. Samsung is known for making nice designs and commercials and this tagline/invitation just doesn't seem like anything they would make.
• Why would Samsung be creating invitation for the press so soon? Even if the Galaxy S4 was to be released in March, why make invitations now? A company like Samsung can't even be 100% if the the release date that they do decide on will be the best one.
• What idiot would be leaking device photos and official invitations? It's not like Samsung would have a hard time figuring out who did it, and once they do find out, that person would risk their entire career. All for a few photos? Hardly worth it.
• March the 4th? Come on people, we all know that is a bit too soon for the Samsung to throw out the Galaxy S4.
• Samsung has been able to hide a lot of details about their Galaxy S3 and none of the rumors came even close to the final product. You can expect the same for the S4.
• A Samsung employee with a LG laptop? Talk about irony.
• The slogan and overall design look quite like the work of an amateur and Samsung doesn't hire such people for projects of this scale.
• And finally - just about anyone could have created this! All you need is Photoshop or even GIMP and the proper fonts and you are done! A perfectly good Samsung Galaxy S4 release date invitation fake!

 The things above could be said about the previously leaked Samsung Galaxy S4 photo, but at least that looked quite impressive for a while. Of course, you have a right to disagree with us. Perhaps you see or know something about these photos that we do not? Or maybe you have other inside stories to share? Well, feel free to post in the comments bellow!

Galaxy S4 Photo Leaks!

The prestigious mobile conference event CES will begin on the 10th of January and a lot of people are wondering whether it is too early for the Samsung Galaxy S4 to appear at this event already! Unlike Apple who takes its time to clear stock before throwing out a new product, Samsung is hard at work and they do not live on old fame! No matter what the truth about the upcoming event is, we are still happy that somebody has leaked some first photos of the Galaxy S4 device. I am already quite sure that these will turn out to be fake, but let us give the poster a benefit of doubt! Here is the leaked press render/ photo:

A leaked photo of the Samsung Galaxy S4?

 Once again I remind you to take everything that you read here with a grain of salt since last year we had tons of fake and fan-made Galaxy S3 images and it was a bit annoying. However, some were actually quite similar in many way to the final product and honestly I do not mind seeing all the Galaxy S4 renders that people can come up with. Eventually, there will be one that we can look back on and that one will be very similar to the final product! The render above looks more like the artist played a bit with the current design of  the Galaxy Note 2 and the S3 mobile phones.

 In case this handset on the image is really the Samsung Galaxy S4 what news does this photo bring to us? Well, it doesn't say a lot about the internal "clockwork" (hardware specs and software), but it does show us that the Galaxy S4 might feature edge-to-edge display and that the physical Home button will be gone. As a fan of the Galaxy phones I am must say that this design does not appeal to me, especially the edge-to-edge display feature which is something I find a tad-bit revolting!

 So what do you think about this first 'official' Samsung Galaxy S4 leaked photo? Is the phone starting to look like something you like? You can browse through the rumored Galaxy S4 specs here if you are interested what the phone might have under the hood. We also advise you to follow our RSS feed or Twitter for regular updates!
