Samsung user manual confirms Galaxy S 4 variant with Snapdragon 800 chip
Jun 20th
Welcome to Samsung Day, 2013. While we wait on some big (and little) product launches this afternoon, here’s a quick bite to keep us going: an interesting processor spec mentioned in the user manual for the SHV-E330S, which we think will be the new LTE-Advanced variant of the Galaxy S 4 intended for South Korea. How the folks at RBmen spotted it we have no idea, but one of the pages (shown after the break) confirms the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974), which not only supports the new double-speed LTE standard but is also something of a beast when it comes to general performance. This isn’t especially relevant to a Western audience, perhaps, except that it marginally increases the probability that we’ll see this same powerhouse inside the rumored Galaxy Note III, since Samsung evidently feels comfortable with Qualcomm’s flagship silicon — and it can’t have failed to notice that LG’s engineers are fond of it too.
