Leaked photos of what looks to be the Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, shows off a new TouchWIZ colour scheme, grey and blue, along with some interesting hardware specs.
The screenshots, released by GSM Israel, apparently shows the Quick System Info PRO app running on the Galaxy S4 – which revealing specifications such as a 5-inch 1080 x 1920 display with a 480ppi pixel density.
Unlike our previous estimation, it looks like even the North American version of the GS4 will sport Samsung’s own quad-core Exynos 5410 chipset at 1.8Ghz, replete with eight cores in a big.LITTLE configuration. The 5-inch 1080p display is also all but confirmed.
The images also give us a first proper glimpse at Samsung’s new TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0, slathered on top of Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1.
While the home screen appears virtually unchanged from what we’ve already seen on the Galaxy S3, the settings menu has been revamped with a tabbed interface and a lighter background.
We also see a checkbox and toggle for the much-hyped ‘Smart pause’ and ‘Smart scroll’ features that the Galaxy S4 is mooted to bring. The former is described as enabling you to pause videos “when it detects your head moving away from the screen”, while the latter will “start to scroll automatically if the device detects that you are looking at the screen”.
Looking forward to the unveiling of the phone!
