News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy S4 Plus Malaysia

Despite only just being released, near confirmed rumours about a Samsung Galaxy S4 version (that may be known as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Plus) that is not only powered by a much faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor but also supports LTE Advanced or LTE-A have made Samsung Galaxy S4 buyers in Korea quite angry. While there are still no LTE-A networks available just yet in Korea, SK Telecom of Korea is supposedly planning to roll it out in Q2 of 2013 with a deadline due in September. As mentioned earlier LTE-A provides speeds of up to 1Gbps.

Hot on the heels of the recent rumour about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Plus is news that a Samsung Galaxy S4 version with LTE Advanced may be coming to South Korea next month. Coming from an announcement by Samsung's CEO J.K. Shin, the news confirms the existance of such a phone but he declined to name names. The only thing he did confirm was that it would be powered by a Qualcomm chipset and cost more than the current Samsung Galaxy S4. While LTE Advanced is not 5G, it does offer transmission speeds double than those of existing 4G LTE networks. While this also means you need to have an LTE Advanced compatible network in place already, many developed countries are probably looking to implement LTE Advanced very soon.

After it was confirmed through DLNA certification the Snapdragon 800 based Samsung Galaxy S4 has surfaced on AnTuTu again. While before it only managed a score of 24179, this time around it has a score of 31491, breaking the record previously held by the Exynos 5 Octa powered Samsung Galaxy S4.
