Samsung Galaxy S4 and S4 Mini Black Editions Coming to UK

Samsung Galaxy S4 and S4 Mini Black Editions that were released in Russia earlier are now coming to the UK. The Black Editions are the same as the current versions of the S4 and S4 Mini — only with black faux leather backs and bezels. They come pre-loaded with eight wallpapers for home and lock screens and sport exclusive new ringtones.

England: The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the GT-19505 variant with a Qualcomm chip, meaning it has a 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 processor. The S4 also has 5-inch full HD screen, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 13MP front-facing camera, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. In Russia it is 23,202 Ruble. The UK price is not yet announced.

As for the S4 Mini it has the same 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor. The S4 Mini also includes a 4.3-inch qHD screen, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, 8 MP front-facing camera, 1900 mAh battery, and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. This will cost 16,216 Ruble and also has not got a UK price yet. Both devices should be released by Mobile World Congress (MWC) on February 24, where the Samsung Galaxy S5 is also likely to be announced.

Benchmark shots said to be of Samsung Galaxy S5 have appeared on An Tu Tu and reveal a 16-megapixel camera. Though the device name is blacked out on the photos, it seems to be a respectable score of 35666. The alleged Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 2.5GHz Snapdragon chip and 2GB RAM. There is a 1080 p display, 16 megapixel and 2 megapixel cameras.

These specs seem a little average for Samsung’s new flagship handset. The lack of temperature and humidity sensors that the S5 relies upon seems suspicious. The source claims that this is one of Samsung’s “mules” sent to carriers for testing – it might not be the finished model.

Samsung has announced that it is holding its first unpacked event of 2014 on February 24 in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress (MWC). Such events are meant for unveiling big products. So it is expected the Samsung might launch the Galaxy S5 phone at it.

Samsung is said to be releasing two versions of the Galaxy S5, both carrying 5.2 inch display and plastic body. The “Prime” model is said to have a 1440×2560 resolution with 565ppi pixel density.
