Firm's roadplan during CES hints at Galaxy S4's screen details.
A roadmap displayed by Samsung during CES 2013 appears to confirm details pertaining to the Galaxy S4's screen.
AnandTech saw that the South Korean technology conglomerate was showcasing a full HD 4.99-inch screen from its display division. It's shown as a follow-on from the Samsung Galaxy Note 2's 5.55-inch screen. A PPI (pixels per-inch) of 440 is also shown for the screen.
The next-generation display is scheduled to ship to manufacturers during 2013's quarter one. Samsung said it's applied a 25 percent power saving method on the new OLED screen. A low power mode, meanwhile, could see the battery usage being almost halved.
The roadmap adds credence to a previous report suggesting that the Galaxy S4 will boast a 4.99-inch screen. The unannounced device itself is expected to be revealed during its own event ahead of its May launch.
During CES, Samsung revealed Youm, a flexible and bendable OLED display; it's expected that the Galaxy S4 will sport an unbreakable screen. The company also announced the world's first eight-core mobile processor, with the Galaxy S3's successor said to be the first device to integrate the chipset.
Challenge accepted.
With a bigger (and still removable) battery plus a microsd slot like all of your recent devices.
And then it will sell like hotcakes.
MicroSD slots and removable batteries are the main reasons I always choose samsung over other android manufacturers.
Note II rocks.
Please round the 4.99" to 5". Saying 4.99 is ridiculous. Thank you.

Flexible display might help with that! Not by folding it, but rather allowing phones to have edge to edge displays with no border at all! So a 4.99 display, might end up be a 5.0'' phone (I might be a bit too enthusiastic here). But the flexible display really opens up new ways to have a decent screen size while keeping your phone to the size of a.... phone.
Exactly.. anything near or over 5" is too big. 4" screen is just fine. It fits in my pocket and I can use it with one hand comfortably. 8 core mobile processor?..lmao for what exactly? What a total waste. Why not make optimized dual core processors that will use less power.
Please go watch the Samsung Keynote part 2 on youtube where they explain the octa core processor. Just ignore the weird spandex dancers at the beginner of the keynote. And scratch your head at the end of the keynote when President Clinton walks onto the stage.
a great upgrade to the original Galaxy S owners
