Rumors have been swirling around about the next flagship Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy S4. One of the latest ones claims that Samsung's Galaxy S4 will not only have one, but two quad-core processors that could make it the first eight-core smartphone on the market.
The two quad-core chips wouldn't be identical, however. Instead, one will be more powerful than the other, and system processes would be allocated to either chip in what should be a more energy-efficient manner.
The report comes to us via Korean news outlet EETimes.
If the Galaxy S4 does contain an eight-core processor, then this smartphone could turn out to be a beast based on existing spec rumors.
So far, according to rumors, the Galaxy S4 could be rocking a 4.99-inch HD display that will be in full 1080p with a whopping 440 pixels per inch. The Galaxy S4 might also sport a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera. The handset should come with a minimum of 2GB RAM, although there are reports that Samsung is testing an unidentified smartphone with 3GB RAM.
Samsung also began mass producing 128GB memory chips for smartphones and tablets earlier this year, and we could see storage capacities that high as early as next year.
Keep in mind that none of this has been officially confirmed for the Galaxy S4 by Samsung, and most of the information comes from anonymous insider leaks.
Samsung will most likely launch the Galaxy S4 near the beginning of summer, like it did with the Galaxy S3 this year. The Galaxy S4 could be making an appearance as early as February, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but there's also a chance that Samsung might hold its own separate launch event.
