Samsung Galaxy Note 3 & S4 specs to electrify


Date: December 27th, 2012
Of course the next devices expected to come out of the Samsung camp is the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 extending their hugely popular and successful line of Galaxy Android devices. When it comes to the Galaxy S4 the rumour is old Sammy could possibly launch the handset after the Google guys announce the next big update to Android, currently being called Key Lime Pie, whilst some believe the SGS4 will release with Key Lime Pie aboard.

When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, rumour has it that there is a possibility that the Note 3 could come out sporting Samsung’s new unbreakable flexible display tech, the same tech has also been rumours for the Samsung Galaxy S4.
However of course we don’t really know what both devices will offer the mobile space just yet, nor do we know what each device will look like. So what we have for your consideration today is a Samsung Galaxy S IV concept and a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 concept which come our way courtesy of Concept-Phones.

So let’s kick things off with that Samsung Galaxy S IV concept which has been designed byVictor Monteiro of Brazil. He designs the Galaxy S 4 with an elongated shape sporting a 4.8-inch ‘HyperAMOLED’ 1080p touch screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
This Galaxy S IV would come packing a 12 megapixel rear facing auto-focus BSI snapper with zero shutter lag and flash, along with a 4 megapixel front facing camera, and the handset will be an 8 core device sporting an Exynos 5X2 chipset, a 2GHz Cortex A10 quad core chip and a 1.5GHz Cortex A9 quad core chip along with MaliX 500 graphics processor.
The concept SGS IV would be made of brushed aluminum and Kevlar fibre, whilst the device would be running Android Jelly Bean 4.2, Nature 2.0 UI and would be the first Galaxy S handset lacking a home button.

Moving on to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the device is a concept by Erica Yusim, and this Note 3 concept has the device sporting a 5.8-inch FHD Super AMOLED touch screen, a processor called a bigLITTLE processor which apparently means the smartphone/tablet combo will have 8 cores sporting both a 1.4GHz Cortex A7 quad core processor and a 2GHz Cortex A15 quad core processor.
The concept Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would also have 3GB of RAM along with 32GB up to 128GB of ROM, and also sport microSDXC expansion up to 128GB. On the rear there would be a 13 megapixel snapper and on the front a 3 megapixel snapper, would run Android Key Lime Pie, and sport a 4000mAh battery and all being housed in an 8.9mm thick housing, and of course would sport the S Pen functionality.
So there you have it, what do our readers think about these concepts of the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3?

Anyone keeping a close eye on the mobile market knows that Samsung and Super AMOLED, much like peanut butter and jelly, are inextricable bosom buddies. So, this recent tech marriage between the Korean electronics giant and Corning (of Gorilla Glass fame) shouldn't come as much surprise for fans of super saturated screens. Under terms of the agreement, both parties will jointly manufacture Lotus Glass for use in smartphones falling under the Galaxy umbrella, as well as Super OLED TVs. The substrate, heralded for its ability to withstand "higher processing temperatures" without compromising structural stability, will help create a range of less power consumptive, high-resolution devices. Unexciting? Sure, but you didn't think those 720p displays were going to make themselves, now did you? Official PR after the break.

Cortex-A5 Processor


Cortex-A5 Processor

Cortex-A5 Processor Image(View Larger Cortex-A5 Processor Image)
The ARM Cortex™-A5 processor is the most energy efficient, lowest cost processor capable of delivering the internet to the widest possible range of devices: from entry level smartphones, low cost handsets and smart mobile devices, to pervasive embedded, consumer and industrial devices.








Overview

The Cortex-A5 processor provides a high-value migration path for existing ARM926EJ-S™ and ARM1176JZ-S™ processor designs.  It achieves better than ARM1176JZ-S performance, better power and energy efficiency than the ARM926EJ-S, and 100% Cortex-A compatibility.
These processors deliver high end features to power and cost sensitive applications, featuring
  • Multiprocessing capability for scalable, energy efficient performance
  • Optional floating point or NEON™ units for media and signal processing
  • Full application compatibility with the Cortex-A8Cortex-A9, and Classic ARM processors
  • High performance memory system including caches and memory management unit

Area and Energy Efficiency

The most energy efficient applications processor that delivers the full internet
Industry leading energy efficiency means the Cortex-A5 gets more work done per unit of energy, which means longer battery life and less heat dissipation in mobile devices.
The Cortex-A5 is the smallest Cortex-A processor.
Tiny size:
  • Lowers manufacturing cost
  • Allows more low cost integration
  • Reduces leakage

Compatibility

The Cortex-A5 processor provides full instruction and feature compatibility with the higher performance Cortex-A8, Cortex-A9, and Cortex-A15 processors - all the way down to the operating system level.  The Cortex-A5 processor also maintains backwards application compatibility with Classic ARM processors including the ARM926EJ-S, ARM1176JZ-S, and ARM7TDMI®.
