Samsung Galaxy S IV with Snapdragon 800 processor AnTuTu benchmark leak, Samsung Galaxy S IV dual-sim at 27990 inr

Not content with just two versions of its Galaxy S4 flagship (Active, mini, zoom aside), Samsung created a third version - a South Korea-exclusive S4 with Snapdragon 800. We’re getting more and more indications that there will be an international version of that phone. First there were some pretty impressive AnTuTu benchmark scores, now there are screenshots from another AnTuTu run. The total score is lower than the previous leak, lower than even the Korean Galaxy S4 LTE-A benchmarks. The GPU score is close to the 9000+ points Adreno 330 usually scores - high above the 5000+ of Adreno 320 and above even the 8000+ of PowerVR SGX 544MP3 in the Exynos 5 Octa version. Anyway, the screenshots confirm the I9506 model number, 2.3GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU. Those are all the ingredients of a Snapdragon 800 chipset, which has LTE-Advanced (Cat. 4) connectivity or 150Mbps downlink speed. The phone was running Android 4.2.2, same as the current Galaxy S4. The software is most likely unfinished, which explains the inconsistent scores. Unfortunately, all the rumors so far have failed to deliver a believable announcement date - the upcoming IFA event is a possible target, but historically it’s when Samsung announces the Galaxy Note. Unfortunately, the leaks or benchmarks don't tell us anything about the launch dates! Currently the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available with either a Snapdragon 600 or an Exynos 5 chip onboard, but a third processor configuration could soon be available as well.

Last week we reported on the Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S, powered by a Snapdragon 800 and featuring LTE-Advanced support. Now the device has appeared again in AnTuTu, breaking all existing records.

Why the big jump now? Honestly, there are many possible reasons. First, every time you run a benchmark, you are likely to get a slightly different result. The reason for this is that sometimes different resources and background processes may be running that could effect the result. Additionally, the Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy S4 might not have been properly optimized at the time of the first test. Keep in mind that there is still the possibility that the SHV-E330S is a fake. That said, the same handset number has already passed Wi-Fi and DLNA certification, so it is seemingly more and more likely that the SHV-E330S is real. The biggest remaining question is where and when the handset might emerge. Currently all evidence points to the Snapdragon 800-powered S4 coming exclusively to Korea, though again – nothing is official until Sammy says it is. If the Snapdragon 800 model of the Samsung Galaxy S4 does make its way outside of Korea, would you be interested in picking it up?

The single SIM version of Samsung Galaxy S4 mini has been available on the market for a few weeks now, but its dual-SIM counterpart has hit shelves only recently. The good news is that Samsung I9192 Galaxy S4 mini is not limited to only a few markets, as the South Korean company has decided to globally roll out the device. According to GSMArena, the dual-SIM version of Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is now available for purchase in the US via Amazon, Cells4U and a few more online retailers. The cheapest is up for grabs at Cells4U at only $470/€360 off contract, while Amazon offers the smartphone for $483/€368. Android fans in India will be happy to know that both white and black versions of dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S4 mini are now available for pre-order via Flipkart for Rs 27,990 outright, which is about $470 or €360. The handset is expected to arrive in other countries such as Mexic, Spain and Egypt, but no details on the exact release date have been disclosed yet. Aside from the fact that it comes with dual-SIM support, Samsung I9192 is no different from its single-SIM brother. It runs the same Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system and packs a similar 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 processor. The smartphone also features an Adreno 305 graphics processing unit, along with 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory that can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory card. Samsung Galaxy S4 mini sports a more than decent 4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. On the back, it boasts an improved 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, while in the front, there’s a secondary 1.9-megapixel camera for video calls.
