Samsung plans to provide a sample version of the S 4 to retailers who want to experience the device's capabilities. The company has decided to use an LTE with 3G version, which is only one of many, six to be exact, of the Galaxy S 4.

A Samsung insider also surmises that Samsung will most probably use the Snapdragon processor and that it would be the 600. Earlier assumptions pointed to the Exynos processor being used in the flagship phone with a separate chip for the LTE.

As to the design, the Galaxy S 4 will come in black and white and it will be offered in 16, 32 and 64 GB variants for each color. MicroSD will most probably be used to expand the memory. Furthermore, based on teaser banners and logos, a dotted back panel is highly possible. We'll know more in the following days if it will be made out of glass or polycarbonate plastic that is typical for many Samsung products. The Galaxy S 4 will be formally launched in Times Square on March 14th.

For the past two weeks, the internet has been bombarded with plenty of fake news about the Samsung galaxy S 4.Let's take a look at a more "credible" source than rumor mongers. The Bloomberg has just issued an article that says the Galaxy S IV will come in two variants. The international version will apparently have Exynos Octa, while the US version will have snapdragon 600 chipset.

However, if the latest photos were true, Samsung might just introduce the S 4 with the Snapdragon 600 in the international markets. These photos were released by SammyHub, the same source that also showed us the first AnTuTu benchmark photos last week.

A few more hours to go and the much-awaited S 4 will already be unveiled. Bloomberg has created quite a long article about it but then, it failed to cite a credible source, quoting, "...according to two people familiar with the product, ...," Nice touch. Here's to hoping there's a Snapdragon version after all.
