Samsung Galaxy S4 Speculated To Feature 4.99″ Full HD Display
The display of Samsung’s Galaxy S series has been increasing with each generation, although with the rumored Galaxy S4, it seems that Samsung could be wading into Galaxy Note-esque sized displays. During CES Samsung took the wraps off several new displays, such as their flexible displays along with other regular displays. One of these displays on show was a 4.99″ Full HD Super AMOLED display which according to the tag in the photo, will be shipping in Q1 of 2013, making this display ripe for the Galaxy S4, which assuming Samsung sticks to their yearly schedule, could see a launch sometime in Q2 of 2013. There are several reasons as to why this might be possible – for starters we know that Samsung has been working on a Full HD Super AMOLED display. Secondly with their competitors such as HTC and Sony launching 5″ Full HD displays with the Droid DNA (or HTC Butterfly for our international readers) and Xperia Z respectively, both of which feature PPIs of at least 440, it would not be a stretch of the imagination to think that Samsung would at the very least match the competition at least on the display front. Either way the Samsung Galaxy S4 is certainly heating up to be a highly-anticipated device, but until we see some actual evidence, try not to read too much into this for now, but in the meantime what do you guys think? Possible?

So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
