Samsung Galaxy S IV images leaked hours before launch

As we have already reported that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S IV later in the day, but that does not stop leaks from happening and Chinese site IT168 has leaked images of Samsung’s incoming flagship.

By the looks of it, the leaked images suggest that the device is almost identical to the Galaxy S III in terms of design and confirms the leaked video that we saw a couple of days ago. It also fits perfectly with the teaser image that Samsung tweeted a few days back.
While the handset may look very similar to its predecessor, the leak suggests that Samsung has doubled down on anorexia and the Galaxy S IV will be just 7.7mm thin and weigh just 138 grams.
As reported earlier, the report confirms the presence of a 4.99-inch 1080p AMOLED display, the Exynos Octa 5 8-core CPU, a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel camera. Additionally, it will have 16GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot.
The images suggest that there could be a new patterned back to the Galaxy S IV, which at least will be a departure from the mundane hypergloss finish Samsung made a big deal about at the Galaxy S III launch.
Additionally, the images suggest that there will be a dual-SIM model of the Galaxy IV as the leak depicts twin SIM slots.
Other features that are being reported also include ‘Eye Tracking’ and the phone will offer S-Pen features minus the stylus. One image suggests that one could move around pop-up play windows by just hovering a finger over the display and now tapping it on the screen. Users can already modulate video playback using ‘Air View’ on Samsung devices by hovering their fingers over the display and this could perhaps be an extension of the feature.
