hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with what to expect with the Samsung Galaxy s4 so only a couple months away from the release date and already we have quite a bit of information on what could very well be the best phone of the year so let's take a look when I reviewed the HTC Droid DNA recently I was a big fan of the screen which was also a 5-inch 1080p display so on the galaxy s4 this means a couple things for starters it's going to be a little bit bigger than the galaxy s3 also keeping much much smaller than note 2 which means that while you get a little bit more screen real estate it's not gonna be anywhere near as big so you can still fit in your pocket and all that kind of stuff but more important than that is that 1080p resolution which looks absolutely fantastic now sometimes it's not going to be extremely noticeable 720p screens are still very good but overall that 1080p gives you a lot more crispness and clarity and text especially in pictures and video you get a lot more pixels and a lot more definition in that screen powering the phone should be the new Samsung Exynos octave processor and then recently I'd Nexus at CES and the gist of it is is that it is an 8 core CPU for a phone so I'll just actually just let that sink in for a second 8 cores which is more than probably your laptop or desktop has in your phone I'm ok with this this works a little bit differently than a normal CPU so instead of being an 8 core processor imagine that it's a pair of quad-core CPUs built into the same phone so on one hand you have a quad-core CPU which is still gonna be plenty fast but it's gonna be a lot easier on your battery so for example when you're doing normal tasks like checking Twitter email Facebook that kind of thing the phone will be using this more power efficient processor but when you need more heavy lifting for example gaming or anything that's gonna be some really intense kind of you know where it needs some graphical horsepower it will switch over to the second part of the CPU which is gonna be a lot more powerful but it's also gonna take up a lot more battery so basically this is kind of a best of both worlds approach on one hand you have this half of the CPU I guess you could say it's gonna be more for like normal kind of use where it's not gonna be really heavy on your battery but when you need that extra power it is there for you software wise I fully expect Android 4.2 jellybean to be on board now jelly bean has been now for about three or four months now and by the time that the Galaxy s4 does launch I do expect the Samsung will have enough time to add all the awesome new features like the new camera app the new lockscreen that kind of thing now beyond that there are also some more miscellaneous things that we've heard including wireless charging support right out of the box which definitely should be cool we should see some upgrades to the camera as well so the galaxy s3 has an 8 megapixel sensor or what me surprise to see this up to 10 to 12 on the Galaxy s4 and more than likely it will stick with 1080p video although who knows they actually may be able to figure out a way to get 4k on to the phone now that will be awesome of course with that eight core CPU you've got a lot of horsepower but it's kind of a long shot we'll see well I love how the galaxy s3 fits in the hand and how lightweight it is it is definitely made out of plastic pretty much through and through and well it's great to be able to remove the back panel to swap your battery your SIM card your SD card that kind of thing it would be nice if they were able to make it just a little bit more premium feeling so either make the place a little bit thicker maybe get a little bit of a different finish who knows maybe we put some metal in there as far as when you can get your hands on the galaxy s4 it's rumored that it will be announced somewhere in late March or early April for a mid to late April release so of course that is going to vary depending on where you live in the world for the galaxy s3 it was announced and it took about two or three months before it actually hit the United States and everywhere else in the world but regardless we were actually not that far from seeing the galaxy s4 in person so that leads me to a question what do you guys think about the galaxy s4 I used to use the s3 and now use the note 2 so I'm very very interested to see exactly what Samsung has been able to cook up for the Galaxy s4 so definite let me know in the comments what do you guys think about the galaxy s4 and what do you guys want to see in the next version of the Samsung flagship if you guys are interested in more feel free to check out the playlist of all kinds of great phones that I've been reviewing recently so I can close the HTC Droid DNA the Galaxy Note 2 and all kinds of really high-end awesome phones that you guys may want to take a look at anyway if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe anyway I will catch you guys next time you'll also find the 5.5 inch Super AMOLED display which sports a resolution of
