Samsung Galaxy S4 release date and price
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will roll out with a staggering 327 operators across 155 countries and the Galaxy S4 release date is April 26.
Want to know where to pick one up in the U.K.? Check out this list of retailers that will be selling the Galaxy S4.
Additionally, here are the full details on the Samsung Galaxy S4 U.S. carriers. For those in Australia, here's a full list of carriers selling the S4.
We expect the Samsung Galaxy S4 price to be about £480(US$725/AUD$695) SIM-free, although the Galaxy SIV price is yet to be confirmed.
Samsung Galaxy S4 dimensions and weight
The S4 is somehow smaller than the Galaxy S3 at 136.1 x 69.8mm. It's a 5-inch handset, which is exactly the same height as its predecessor (5.38 x 2.34 x 0.5 inches).
It also appears to be unbelievably thin - considering the amount of tech stuffed inside - with the Samsung Galaxy S4 measuring a svelte 7.9mm.
It's a whole gram lighter than its predecessor too, at 130g.
Samsung Galaxy S4 design
The polycarbonate chassis is still in use, although the metallic banding around the side, is much sturdier and feels more premium - though it's still plastic. Color-wise, there's the choice of 'White Frost' and 'Black Mist', although Samsung says "a variety of additional color options will be available later this year".
Samsung Galaxy S4 processor and memory
With the S4, forget dual-core and quad-core. The Samsung Exynos 1.6GHz processor has a whopping eight cores! Amazing.
But while you'll get that Octo-core Exynos 5 in some territories there will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro in others.
You also get 2GB of RAM, which is twice the amount in the iPhone 5. But, the Sony Xperia Z also has 2GB. In terms of storage it's available in 16, 32 and 64GB variants.
Samsung Galaxy S4 display
The Super OLED screen has a stunning 441ppi, which is more than the iPhone 5 but less than the HTC One. It's extremely sharp for a Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 display.
Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE and Wi-Fi
The S4 apparently supports both LTE variants - "all frequencies and standards covered" says Samsung. 802.11ac Wi-Fi is also supported, alongside the more usual 802.11b/g/n.
Samsung Galaxy S4 OS
Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1 is the software on board the Galaxy S4, with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface having been given a spruce up before being slapped on top.
Building on the Smart Stay feature found in the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, Samsung equipped the Galaxy S4 with smarter eye tracking software.
Smart Pause will know to hold things when you look away and Smart Scroll checks when you're looking at the screen and will move the page as you tilt the phone back and forth. Air Gestures mean you'll be able to jump to the top of lists, skip music and flick through pictures/answer calls without even touching the screen.
There's also Samsung's Knox security feature for separating work and play.
Samsung also unveiled S Voice Drive for the driver who loves to multitask. This feature will activate when you start your car and will read incoming text messages aloud, let you dictate text messages, or use navigation features with your voice so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.
Some features that are new to the S4 include:
"Dual Camera": so you can take simultaneous photos and videos using both the rear and front cameras, then blend the pictures together
"Story Album": curates content, such as SNS posts, memos, location and weather information, as well as photos and videos, to create a photo album which is personalised around your timeline of special occasions and events
"Group Play": means you can enjoy music, photos and games with those around you, without requiring a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal
"Samsung Smart Pause": so you can control the screen using your eyes
"Air View": allows you to hover with your fingers to preview the content of an email, S Planner, image gallery or video without having to open it
"Air Gesture": so you can change a music track, scroll up and down a web page, or accept a call with a wave of your hand
"S Health" software: empowers your life by keeping you up-to-date with health and wellbeing information through a range of accessories.
Samsung Galaxy S4 battery
The S4 packs a fairly huge 2,600MAH pack, up from the 2,100 offering we got on the S3. It will surely need it with such a powerful processor on board.

The victims were mainly student protesters who had been arrested and sentenced for leafleting and demonstrating against Khamenei's revolutionary republic in the early 1980s. They sympathised with the Mujahideen-e-Khalq, an armed Islamic group with Marxist leanings, or with communist and socialist organisations that did not believe in God and certainly not in the ayatollah's theocracy.
