Samsung Galaxy S 4 official: 5-inch 1080p display, Octa-core Exynos chip and 13MP camera


Another year, another [Galaxy S flagship](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-is-official/) smartphone from Samsung. 2013's version of the crown jewel, the Galaxy S 4, has just been officially announced at its [Unpacked event](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-unpacked-2013-liveblog-galaxy-s-4/). Since we know you're dying to find out what's new, let's dive straight into the details. The GS 4 features a 5-inch 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) Super AMOLED panel which offers a pixel density of 441 ppi. It's also a powerful beast: it packs 2GB RAM and will come with either a 1.6GHz Exynos [Octa-core](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/09/samsung-announces-exynos-5-octa-chip-at-ces/) chip or a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm, depending on your region. (Unfortunately, Samsung hasn't yet specified which Snapdragon we can expect, but we're guessing it's at least a [600](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/qualcomm-snapdragon-800-and-600-chips/) if not an 800.) Refreshingly, it will also come with Android 4.2.2 on-board when it launches.

Dimension-wise, the GS 4 is 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 inch) and weighs 130g (4.59 ounces). The chassis itself is actually 0.8mm skinnier, 0.7mm thinner and 3g lighter than its predecessor, which is impressive given its larger screen size and 2,600mAh battery. It will launch in black and white hues, though Samsung plans to add more colors to its lineup as the year progresses. Head below the break as we continue to reveal what else you can expect from the newest Galaxy device.
