BREAKING: Samsung ditches own AMOLED and EXYNOS inside new Galaxy S IV

Posted by DannyD on 23 February 2013 at 10:01

Yes you just read the title of this message right.

Our insider

just gave us the first official “unconfirmed” specifications of the next generation Galaxy S, the Galaxy S IV. The Galaxy S IV will no longer use the Samsung EXYNOS processor and according to the latest rumours this processor has overheating issues. Today we can confirm Samsung will use the Snapdragon 600 and it is clocked at 1.9 Ghz which is 0.2 Ghz higher than the HTC One. The Galaxy S IV will have 2 GB of RAM and will come in three variants 16, 32 or 64 GB. As the rumours earlier reported Samsung is going to use a Full HD display. The Galaxy S IV uses a 4,99″ Full-HD SoLux Display we have no information if this is based on LCD3 like the HTC One. But a couple of months ago we posted the first hint regarding Samsung’s LCD factory is ready to produce Full HD panels from early 2013. And we also know Samsung’s AMOLED factory does have many problems with the production of full HD AMOLED screens.

Right on, brother. Sad that all the tech sites are quoting this, though. Tech blogs love to put in zero effort to their sources.

Where is the "trust, but verify" that the profession should uphold?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
It's been replaced by this. ;)

And for our international members, this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcowang:
I perfer lighter case or design no matter plastic or metal.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliveon2legs:
This was enough said, for me:

;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
One thing is for sure though, Samsung is NOT worried. But they may consider changing their design for next year.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
This whole "build quality" is driving me crazy. The HTC build material is very nice.... But many reports of the build QUALITY report the contrary.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
HTC's projecting 20MM One's sold this year. Samsung's projecting 80MM SGS4's. I'd be willing to bet anyone here that if the One takes off and exceeds that figure HTC wouldn't be able to produce enough. Why? Because it's a complicated design with intricate parts that would never be able to be produced in the volumes that Samsung sells phones. But HTC isn't expecting it to sell in those types of volumes.

Samsung's planning on producing 350MM mobile devices this year, an increase of 39% over 2012. I haven't read anything about them adding a ton of new production capacity. So their designs are always going to have "high volume production ability" as a requirement. Apple's a good example. They use premium materials but if you look at their tear downs they are easy to produce. And even with that they have the occasional supply chain issue if the aluminum back maker(s) throws a shoe. So it's perfectly possible Samsung's looking at updated designs and different materials but they sell too many devices for them to be "highly crafted works of art" like smaller manufacturers can pull off based on their lower sales volumes. And have any of you been over to the One forum lately? There are about four threads talking about build and QC issues because of the One's complex design. Everyone's chalking it up to "early batches." We'll see over time. Sexy sells. Simple and durable endures.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
I hear you. And I'm not against the choice of plastic at all, but I think the One X for example, has a strong polycarbonate, Samsung could use something like that next year. I love the design of the Galaxy series and I embrace it.... BUT, I strongly believe that they should at least change the design next year, it's fine this year but I think 3 years in a row of using the same design would not work in the advantage of Samsung. Build quality is very good no complain on that though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I'd say within 2 years Samsung will be using a "flexible' display for Phones (probably Apple too) and when that happens it will be necessary for them to change the design to accommodate it. Perhaps a different type of plastic or carbon fiber will be used but, by then, supply demands and the use of the flexible screens will more than likely keep Samsung from ever mass producing high % metal bodies.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliveon2legs:
The biggest advantage of plastic, in my mind, is weight. And I don't mean the way that it feels in your hand. I'm referring to the impact it makes when it's dropped. F=MA, and all of that.

That's probably my biggest fear about the One. As an Indy car fan I know that in addition to weight causing greater impacts, rigid structures are very, very bad for the "internals", when an impact occurs. In the case of an Indy car, the internal is the driver. The chassis is the external shell and is designed to disintegrate, in order to disperse as much energy as possible, away from the internals. It's the reason a car can smash a concrete wall at 230 MPH and the driver walk away. Back in the days of rigid, tube framed roadsters, drivers were dying by the dozen, at much slower speeds.

I will be much more careful with my One, given its weight and rigidity.
[Galaxy S 4 General] angelos208:
Samsung Rules

Not to be a fan but even if I would buy aluminum. Samsung makes good phones
[Galaxy S 4 General] daleski75:
I would personally welcome very much a Galaxy S5 which has the same feel and quality as the Nexus 4 or Lumia 920 but with the advantages of a removable back cover and sdcard slot.

Samsung are not worried at all... end of
[Galaxy S 4 General] Terrorantula:
Has anyone held a One though? When I first put it in my hand, I couldn't tell what material it was, like it felt exactly the same as my poly carb 808, the only difference is the thing got so hot like one big heat sink in my hand.
[Galaxy S 4 General] swapnildixit3:
When it is coming to india???
[Galaxy S 4 General] ilabs:
Although there is a very understandable divide of opinions on plastic vs metal or any other material, I think this has more to do with Samsung's way of how they see their whole product, business, support, quality and performance by keeping a balance. Don't get me wrong, I do like the premium look and feel of the one, but I'm pretty fine with the S4's build too.

It is quite difficult to perfect metal bodies for phones and hats off to apple and htc for that. But each process has its flaws, and the thing with metal bodies is the difficulty in consistency, quality, costs, etc. I'm sure samsung can come up with great engineering solutions for better phone designs in metal but thats not the only point. The tooling required for metal bodies is expensive, requires frequent replacement, the shaping process takes lots of time and many steps. It is harder to keep up consistent quality. Even apple had chipping and other manufacturing issues with the iphone5, and some reports of the htc one having it are also popping up.

It can be done, but if sammy has to keep up with demand for its phones without extreme expansions while also making reasonable profits after selling their phones at competitive prices, plastic seems a better candidate in terms of practicality. htc took some daring steps with the one's design and camera, but those 2 features are the reasons for the one's delays to markets and thats causing htc to bleed money and profits.

The one s was a great phone but was out of reach due to the expensive process of making the body, and sales suffered coz of it.

Another important factor is everyday servicing and repairs at the thousands of service centres around the world. By making the S4 so easy to repair essentially translates to not only easier manufacturing processes and greater quality control at low cost, but also saves time and effort for the service centre employees in repairing the phones. This means quicker service, lower clogging and more customer satisfaction. htc on the other hand has to go to great lengths to manage their device build quality and it's sure to take lots of time to open the phone. It might also result in multiple parts being damaged while opening which have to then be replaced, and which htc will have to supply parts for during warranty periods.

All these small things add up on cost. I think one of the main things that samsung wins on is the pure blunt practicality of their process, and they have their sales figures and quality products to show for it. Its not an argument against samsung or htc, but rather the practical balance between business, technology and manufacturing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strategist:
Yeah people understimate how difficult it is to produce a good design and the kind of trade-offs involved especially when you produce at the scale of Samsung.

People praise the One for its design but HTC is already having supply problems though it produces a fraction of what Samsung does. iFixit gave it a repairability score of 1/10 which is going to mean a whole of bother for HTC when phones come back for repair. And I suspect the gorgeous aluminium isn't going look that great after six months of use. Sure you can put a cover but then what's the point of the metal design exactly?

I actually think Samsung has an impressive design: great ergonomics, low weight and features like removable battery and SD slot which are part of the design. People seem to think that you can keep all that and still have unibody metal designs like the One but I don't think that's realistic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
LOL , now all u need water cooling :angel:
[Galaxy S 4 General] JoeyLe:
This probably is the same insider who told Sammobile that the leaked pictures of the S4 were fake while they were real? I agree the S3 feels pretty cheap, but this should be better on the S4, and besides if you drop the HTC One or any other aluminium phone it will probably look close to this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
Stick to the plastic but make it more one x style.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Preach!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Harurisu:
I don't mind plastic, all my phones end up in cases anyway.

But of course I will be happy if they start making more "premium" phones, that will be one less argument for the haters to use against Samsung.

The only flaw left will be the Amoled's "weak" brightness I guess ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Well some folks dislike the look of touchwiz but touchwiz works so great and has so many features that it doesn't really matter to me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bill1clinton:
While I agree that the Galaxy series phones can (arguably, should) be more premium feeling, I do not believe that moving to a metal body build would be the best idea. I believe this because metal, while providing the premium feel, does in general degrade the reception of the phone. I would argue that this would be one of the most important factors when the the decision is made on what material is to be use for future models.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvin2212:
Hello guys,

I plan to get a case like this so it would cover almost every surface of my device. My concern is, by getting this case, would I be able to charge my phone using the dock?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreiundachzig:
No, that won't fit. You have to remove it every time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoffxx:
The dock is a very tight fit I just remove my gel cover each time

PS that cover looks to me like it could interfere with the camera - it's quite thick
[Ideos S7 Android Development] ddz334:
Can some one take an initiative in porting Ubuntu touch to our device please
[Ideos S7 Android Development] hal_2000:
hi ddz334, you can always port it your self, read the manuals, try to learn how its done, and try it.

Your will need a brain, lots of free time, a computer, and will power not to give in when you dont succed.

good luck,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daverave13:
I flashed synergy rom r334 on my verizon s3. It worked fine except that I wasn't getting mms, so I reflashed it. After the reflash my phone booted up and gave me a message about being on the sprint network. So now i don't have any data connection, and my model number says L170 or whatever the sprint number is. Now what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
What recovery are you using? Seems like it's a Sprint based on. Quick way to check is to start the aroma installer again. It should try to identify your device. If it doesn't say d2vzw then you need to update/switch recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipock97:
If you did a nandroid backup I would restore it and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daverave13:
Cwm 6.0.1.0, I used the ez recovers app for vzw s3. You're on to something though because aroma says its d2spr instead of d2vzw. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daverave13:
Fixed! Reflashed cmw recovery and deleted/redownloaded the rom. Worked for some reason, I'm not asking questions. Thanks again for you're help.

[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
It will work, except for the problem with sound in phone calls. I'm waiting for someone to post logs so I can see if it is possible to fix.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nekromantik:
It wont install via recovery.

[One (M7) Android Development] biohaufen:
It does :) After a reboot look at Setting --> Info --> Software --> Advanced.

I also got error 7, but it worked.

In his changelog he did not state he disabled perflock.
[One (M7) Android Development] AuxXxilium:
please port these with disabled perflock to 1.29 base
[One (M7) Android Development] Nekromantik:
You cannot "port" a kernel.

HTC have to release source code for 1.29 in order for devs to create custom ones.
[One (M7) Android Development] superchilpil:
The point of his bulletproof kernels is to be stockish with some improvements. Besides since its not over clocked disabling perflock is pretty much useless

There's a kernel with perflock disabled already if you want one
[One (M7) Android Development] brooky:
perfect 2 way call recording ???
[One (M7) Android Development] noob.fl:
why is usless without overclocking? without preflock you can downclock the frequency and set profiles - both is very usefull
[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
I disabled perflock, but still no overclocking or anything like that.

Let me know if this works.

i wish you enable qualcomms fast charging! that would be so nice! it's really so damn slow to recharge this device even with a 2AM charger.
[One (M7) Android Development] CheesyNutz:
how about you build your own kernel ... then you can enable what ever you want .. im sure flar has his reasons for what he enables and does not enable
[One (M7) Android Development] osahum:
I am just stating a wish here. in a previous release quick charging was enabled. why the attitude? i can't build my own kernel and i was just expressing my self. No need for this kind of language
[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
I'll have a look into qualcomm quick charge sometime, but I'm probably going to work on some other stuff first (I'm anxious to get the next release out, but I'm very busy at my day job and now baseball has started).

Right now it has force fast charge, which will allow it to charge faster from usb if the usb port is capable of delivering more current. From my understanding, the quick charge thing is different, and there may be a reason why HTC disabled it (if that is indeed the case). I'll have to learn more about it.
[One (M7) Android Development] monkboy24:
Btw flar I tested your elementaX kernel and it fully boots up then after 5-10 minutes it crashes and reboots. This happens even if I use a cpu app to lower the cpu speeds to stock. Didn't have time to pull the last_kmsg because I'm out right now but I just wanted to give u a heads up
[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
Definitely get me /proc/last_kmsg when you can.

I overclocked the phone pretty much as soon as I got it on Friday night, and I had it running at 1890 overnight and most of Saturday without issue (I have random reboots at 1944 :(). I've been using Bulletproof since then.
[One (M7) Android Development] CheesyNutz:
did not have this happen to me buddy i was at 1944 on all 4 cores and running fine other than the camera

[One (M7) Android Development] Dougi:
can't wait to test that S2W on HTC ONE ... thanks for your hard work :)
[One (M7) Android Development] :
Does this kernel still force fast charge?
[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
I had thought about this before, looks like tbalden implemented it, so it is possible. I should be able to figure out how to do it, but it probably won't make it into tonight's release.

Yes, you have to enable it with Kernel Tuner or by setting /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge to 1.

Force fast charge allows you to charge faster on usb ports that can handle it. This is not the same as qualcomm quick charge.
[One (M7) Android Development] monkboy24:
Go one page back to find out bro.
[One (M7) Android Development] :
Yeah i just saw that :). Should follow my own advice about reading first *headdesk*.

Question is do I want fast charge now.
[One (M7) Android Development] monkboy24:
Personally I think it's better to not have the option to fast charge. In my opinion fast charge drains as fast as it charges. Slow charging seems to last longer
[One (M7) Android Development] cellneuron:
Will it possible to reassign different functions for those new and old buttons? I still want the logo as home, and the rightmost as menu.
[One (M7) Android Development] flar2:
Theoretically, you should be able to assign whatever you want to it. But I haven't looked into any of this yet.
[One (M7) Android Development] godofwar424:
Seems camera issue will be fixed with next release of ROM's. Does that mean your kernel won't need any adjustments and the ROM with the updated base and any patches will fix it?? Or will there still be some kernel related fixes for you to do?

Loved bulletproof but not using it again till the camera is sorted just in case there's a random picture moment :P

Also I believe that HTC didn't enable Qualcomm's Quick Charge as the battery is internal and they didn't want it wearing out any quicker then it had to. Obviously most people don't use the phone more then 2 years and phone contracts end and people move on. Its similar to car makers reducing engine output to make it reliable even in countries with poor fuel and at different air qualities.
