Samsung has launched in New York the fourth generation GALAXY S. The GALAXY S4 runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED with 441ppi, and uses either a Quad-Core or Octa-Core processor – depending on the market, available in white or black, 3G or LTE.

There’s a 2,600 mAh battery, 13-megapixel rear camera, 2GB RAM, 16-64 GB user memory with microSD slot for up to 64GB, and loads of software features.
