well – Yonhap News is reporting that the tech giant had shipped 20 million

need not tell you about the specifications as everyone out there might know
this. I cant resist but type it......Samsung Galaxy S4 sports a 5-inch full-HD

Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor in others. It has 2GB of RAM and a
PowerVR SGX544MP3 triple-core GPU.The smartphone comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB
variants but also features a microSD card slot for expanding the store.The

front. The Galaxy S4 offers more camera features including dual-shot, employing
the use of both front and back camera, an eraser shot mode to remove people
from photos, and a Cinemagram like feature called Cinema Photo, among several
other tricks. It also offers a number of sensors including a temperature and
humidity sensor and motion and gesture control features.Various Galaxy S4
variants have been launched including Samsung

S4 Mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom.Additionally,
if the latest tech leaks are to be believed, Samsung Galaxy S5 could be very
much in the works and may feature a finger print detection technology. There
have been several leaks and speculations in this regard. Given the reputation of the South

concerned.In comparison, sales of the
iPhone 5 exceeded 5 million in the device's first weekend. The company does not break down sales by specific iPhone model, but
