The next iteration of Samsung's flagship device, the Galaxy S IV is
rumoured to come with the famed S-Pen stylus as seen in it's 5-inch

reports via Korean site eNuri
that the Galaxy S IV is the first smartphone in the series to feature
the stylus as the Korean manufacturer seeks to "unite its Note series
with the flagship Galaxy S IV", allegedly confirmed by a quote from a
Samsung official.
According to latest rumours
from SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy S IV is being developed under the
codename 'Project J' and is likely to be launched in April next year.
Reports
have indicated that the Galaxy S IV will indeed come with a 4.99-inch
Super AMOLED display with 1920x1080 resolution, giving it a pixel
density of 441ppi. That report is in line with other rumours which
suggested that Samsung and LG are working on smartphones with full-HD
display, which may be released in first-half of 2013.
Additionally,
murmurs are that the new Samsung Android flagship will run on Jelly
Bean and feature a 2 GHz quad-core Exynos processor and an 8-core GPU.
It is also rumoured that the smartphone will use ARM big.LITTLE
architecture featuring a combination of an energy-efficient A7 processor
and an A15 one for simple and heavy task processing.
There's more
buzz about the device being equipped with a 13-megapixel camera rear
auto-focus camera and slightly thicker, 9.2mm body.
Other rumours
suggest that the device will come with an unbreakable screen that could
be a great attraction for the smartphone in terms of sales. Samsung,
however, has not officially made any statement in this regard.
