Samsung Galaxy S4 - Concept Shows 2013

While the Samsung Galaxy S4 is by no means an ugly phone, it’s not exactly the best-looking one either, although we guess that will depend on preference. Either way it is safe to assume that many had expect a major redesign of the phone given the hype and anticipation surrounding it, and for those who don’t find the Galaxy S4’s design particularly striking or memorable, here’s a concept that you might dig. Put together by Florin Kumnova (via Behance), this is a Galaxy S4 concept we can definitely get behind on.

The hardware specs of the phone remain the same as the retail model, with the notable differences being in its design. As you can see, this concept will feature an edge-to-edge display which looks stunning, while keeping the bezels as thin as possible. It retains the home button, although it admittedly looks a bit squashed. We’re not sure what materials the design has gone with, but based on the glossy finish we’re guessing plastic. Kumnova did state that he drew inspiration from previous Galaxy phones and rightfully so as this is somewhat reminiscent of the Galaxy S2, just with a much larger display. What do you guys think?

Galaxy S4: The Galaxy S4 is a Samsung smartphone that has been rumored about since September 2012. It allegedly features a 13 Megapixel camera, a Samsung Exynos 5450 which is suspected of using Arm's Cortex A15 core design. In terms of display size, current speculation puts the diagonal size at 5" 1080p (1920x1080), which puts it closer to the Galaxy Note 2. While the some rumors stated that it may make an appearance at CES 2013, the consensus is now that Mobile World Congress 2013 (MWC) may be the target date for a first reveal. Finally, the Galaxy S4 is said to come with an integrated pen, which would explain why the screen would be getting larger. Again -- this is *unconfirmed* information at the moment. 

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
