Galaxy S4 Leaked Images Shows iPad Mini Familiar Design – Images

The surprise of Samsung Galaxy S4 Unveiling might have ended because the U.K retailer has posted alleged Galaxy S4 Images portraying the design of the upcoming Flagship. We are only nine days away from the unveiling of Galaxy S4 by Samsung in New York at Times Square and days prior to release, the leaks are taking off the surprise that Samsung wants to give its users. Samsung has heavily advertised about the upcoming Flagship of theirs under the name of Unpacked Event on March 14 in a Video Teaser, Posters, and Media Invites.

However, as of now it seems like this online retailer in the U.K who posted out alleged Galaxy S4 design images on Monday blows off the cover. The name of the online retailer is Expansys that is an online retail website in the U.K. this website posted some images of Galaxy S4 with the confirmed specifications putting more weight on the leaked design of Galaxy S4 to be legit.

At this time nothing can be said if the images are from Samsung its self or it is just a render made by Retailers to portray the image of upcoming Galaxy S4. Whatever the scenario is, all we can say is that the images of Galaxy S4 seems to be appealing and fits perfectly according the rumored 4.99-inch screen.

Other than this leaked design of Galaxy S4, the day before we told you about the glance of Galaxy S4 in a video teased by Samsung officially portraying Jeremy the Messenger of Unpacked Event on March 14. The video showed the same sized Galaxy S4 for few seconds in black color.

Moving on towards the design, as we said previously that the authenticity cannot be done regarding this image because no solid evidence has been found regarding this image. Upon finding the authenticity of this image, we came across a throbbing fact that the design of Galaxy S4 shown in the above image looks familiar to the iPad Mini. The width, size of the screen has been decreased and home button has been removed as well. Rest the round corner edges and sides make it look more like a small iPad Mini.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Official Specifications Leaked in Antutu Benchmark

Samsung Galaxy S4 release date is scheduled for March 14 and ten days prior to official announcement, we have come across the Samsung Galaxy S4 Antutu Benchmark tests. These tests of Antutu Benchmark appeared online when some one with actual Galaxy S4 opted to compare it with Nexus 4. While running the Antutu Benchmark Test for Galaxy S4 in comparison with Nexus 4, all the final specifications of Galaxy S4 were revealed. As shown in the test for the Galaxy S4, it carries Exynos Octa 5410 CPU clocked at 1.8GHz, PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU, 2GB of RAM, 4.99″ Full HD (1920×1080) display and a 13 Megapixel Camera. As far as OS is concerned, Galaxy S4 is packed with Android OS 4.2.

The main change that Samsung has planned to bring in this Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 is that the Korean Company has planned to make it a world phone like iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. The Korean Company will be releasing one variant of Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 rather than releasing one GSM, one CDMA, and one LTE Model. This time Samsung will release Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 model that will support GSM/WCDMA/LTE networks with its own EXYNOS processor.

The specifications that surfaced today on Antutu Benchmark are the same that were leaked in past. We would suggest not putting faith into these leaked Antutu Benchmark results of Galaxy S4 because Antutu Benchmark results are easy to fake. Therefore, we cannot say anything regarding the leaked specifications of Galaxy S4 by Antutu Benchmark.

Stop Kids from Using In-App Purchases System on iPhone/iPod/iPad – How To

Earlier today we reported about an incident that took place in the U.K, where a Five Year old kid spent £1,700 ($2,500) on In-App Purchases of Plants VS Ninja Game on iPad. David Kitchens Father, Greg Kitchen, downloaded the game of Plants VS Ninja on his son’s iPad after seeing the status of Free on it. The father was complete unaware of the fact that these free Apps usually got expensive in-app purchases and can be bought if any payment method is attached on iTunes. Un-expectedly, David started to buy weapons and other stuff through In-App purchases without knowing that he is being charged $100 for In-App Purchases.

Not only David Kitchen wasn’t aware, even his parents were not aware of the fact that their son is doing something big on the iPad until payment confirmation E-Mails started to flood in the account holders E-Mail account. However, due to lack of awareness, Apple agreed to refund the total amount.

These days the use of iPad/iPhone/iPod is increasing day by day among children. Every one needs to have an iPad/iPhone/iPod to play games or to use it for their professional use. To achieve this goal, people not only need to buy an iPhone/iPod/iPad, indeed they need to buy or download free apps from iTunes to utilize their iDevice. Over here, people downloading free or Paid Apps are unaware of the term of In-App purchases and only few of them are aware of this term. Usually Developers make the Free Apps to earn through In-App purchases that is not a good practice. Mostly people falling in this trap are those who have associated their Credit Card on iTunes and got kids using the iPhone/iPod/iPad.

The question that people should ask or need to know about is, “How can we stop them using or from buying things through In-App Purchases System.”

Parents having their Credit Card information on iTunes can stop their kids using the In-App Purchases System by setting up a parental control on their iPhone/iPod/iPad. This will help them from restricting that area of In-App Purchases System.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to Debut in Two Colors and Six Options Initially
Samsung is preparing for its Unpacked Media Event scheduled for March 14 and to promote the Unpacked Event, Samsung recently teased a new banner that hinted towards a dotted backside of the upcoming Galaxy S4. The hint towards a dotted backside of the Galaxy S4 further hints towards the colors of the Galaxy S4 that are Black and White. These are the two colors in which Samsung will debut Galaxy S4 initially and we can expect the arrival of Galaxy S4 in more colors some time later. This will be the first time after Galaxy S3 that Samsung would be unveiling a new Flagship in Black Color because at the time of Galaxy S3 release, Samsung announced Pebble Blue and Marble White colors.

Later on, Samsung announced Galaxy S3 in new colors including Black, Red, Brown, and few more. As of now, it is expected that Samsung would be going with the Black and White color for its upcoming Galaxy S IV. In addition to these two colors, it is widely expected that Samsung Galaxy S IV will arrive in the following options.
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 16 GB (White)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 32 GB (White)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 64 GB (White)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 16 GB (Black)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 32 GB (Black)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 64 GB (Black)
Even if Samsung doesn’t announces the 64GB version of the Galaxy S4, no need to worry about it because Galaxy S Series allow users to install a Micro SD card that can help in expanding the memory up to 64GB.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to have a Redesigned Back with Black & White Dots?

Samsung Galaxy S4 back with Black & White dots. Samsung has something big to announce this year on March 14. After the release of HTC ONE by HTC, Samsung quietly pulled the date of Unpacked Event a month before than the rumored month of April. As soon as Samsung pulled back the dates of Unpacked Media event on March 14, the Korean company started to advertise heavily about the upcoming product by teasing it with the slogan of “Ready 4 the Show.” The event of Unpacked will take place in New York, where the Korean company has started a campaign at Times Square NYC with a different slogan, but the same number of 4 is present in the banner.

This time the banner that was teased by Samsung its self on Twitter was different from the previous one. In this current banner, Samsung showed a doted black background with number 4 with White dots that might be representing the backside of the upcoming Galaxy S4. If this is the case, then we can assume that Samsung is planning to release something different and new this year in face of Galaxy S4. That something different can be the redesigned backside of the Galaxy S4 with black dots on it rather than making it plain like its preceding Flagships of Galaxy S series.

If you examine the background of the image and the number “4” in the above image posted by Samsung officially on its Twitter account, you will notice that the background and the number “4” are doted, where as rest everything is normal. This is a major clue by Samsung for the users out their waiting for the upcoming Galaxy S4. Therefore, before Galaxy S4 arrives, we have already told you about the backside of the Galaxy S4 would be redesigned in a new way.

We are only two weeks away from the arrival of this Samsung Galaxy S4. The affirmed release date of Galaxy S4 is March 14. We will be showing live stream of the Media Event, stay tuned with us.
