Samsung Introduced, in an epic broadway style event, the Galaxy S4 to the world. Samsung’s wrapped top-tier hardware into a familiar chassis, and gave it a boost across the board. From a 8-core processor (in the U.S. it will have a 1.8GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and the International version will have Samsung’s own 1.8GHz quad-core Exynos 5 Octa processor), a larger full 1080p display, and what surely will be an impressive 13 megapixel camera.
