Oh man I was expecting a dual-core 5250 for the S4 and a quad-core for the Note 3.. but that's great if they are putting in the 5400 series in S4. Phone would be beastly. Just keep removable batteries and SD card slots Samsung and I'll throw my money at you.

Considering the Nexus 10 has the Samsung Exynos 5250 already in it then it shant be too hard to think that a optimized Exynos 5 dual or quad will be in the S4. That performance is going to be droolworthy.

 

[A Bad Day]

I look forward to the day that a modern smartphone can at least match a decade old phone's battery life (assuming phone calls are only the main usage).

I have a touchscreen dumbphone (cannot install apps) that I only use for phone calls. The battery life is usually around 1-3 days.

My decade old Nokia Cingular phone's battery life is around 1-3 weeks under the same usage.

That concept art looks amazing. I'd happily buy that phone if the specs went into that concept shell.

I actually dislike the concept art. Especially the back. What's with this two tone stuff?

That's actually not a lot. Modern very long battery life phones designed for emerging markets easily last a month with moderate use. Over 2 months if used only to text occasionally which is the primary usage for these markets.

Maybe they use the same chip for their next Note 10.1, like they did with the S3 and first Note 10.1. Economies of scale I suppose.

Sort of missing the point. He's saying he'd like if current smartphones would last that long. They don't.

sweet gimmie a big battery and a decent screen and I'm sold!

phones are getting obscenely fast, yet we don't do much with all that power. a phone from early last year can still perform with the best of this year. i don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing

I was expecting a hexa-core processor at the very least and a flexible oled display. I am dissapointed.

 

[aragis]

I definitely expect Samsung to design an LTE chip that is actually quad core. It's retarded that nobody has done that already.

@aragis, You might want to look at the Galaxy Note II then. Not much, just a 5.5 inch phone with 2GB RAM, 1.6GHz quad core and 4G LTE, probably in stores near you as of 2 months ago. I hear it even takes calls and plays mp3s that these kids these days love so much.

me also waiting for the next Galaxy S4

I only hope that they will put in a better headphone amp, and better audio DAC. And then an option in the audio settings to switch between high power mode (high quality full range audio) or low power mode (to improve battery life).

It is so difficult to find a good portable player these days.
