Galaxy SIV is the fourth generation Galaxy from Samsung and the first smartphone to feature a Flexible OLED display. It will be the successor to latest flagship, Samsung Galaxy S3. The Flexible OLED display certainly has some advantages over current display. First, it is unbreakable because it uses a type of plastic called polyamide instead of glass. It is also very thin, lightweight, rugged and most importantly energy efficient. The Flexible OLED display uses three times less battery than today’s AMOLED display. On the hardware side, Galaxy SIV will feature a 5-inch flexible OLED display with resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (350 ppi pixel density). The Galaxy SIV is rumored to be powered by 1.8GHz 8 core Exynos 5 Octa processor and 2GB RAM. For multimedia, Galaxy S IV will feature a 13 Mega Pixel rear camera capable of shooting 1080p videos. For connectivity, it will support Bluetooth 4.0, Wifi 802.11 b/g/n, NFC technology and LTE mobile connections. The Galaxy S IV will come pre-installed with Google’s latest Android 4.2. The battery life on Galaxy S IV will be significantly higher because of its flexible OLED display. There is no further information available on the next flagship device but rumours are that it will be launched during Q2 of 2013. Samsung Galaxy S IV will compete against other flagship smartphones like Apple iPhone 5S, HTC M7 and Sony Xperia Z. Stay tuned for more updates or follow @harrym20 on Twitter.

This will be the best Samsung phone ever. It will break all records.
Samsung is starting the production of Flexible OLED display this year. There is no doubt that this innovation will put Samsung on to the top of smartphone industry.
Hi,in my opinion those OLED Displays from Samsung have still one big disadvantage,as they are
almost unreadable in Sunlight conditions.As long as Samsung does not deliver at least 400 cd
i personally prefer the LCD,even if more heavy.I hope for next generation OLED
May be you could have an eye on it
Hey. Unlike current generation reflective display (Super AMOLED, Retina Display) which uses external light source, OLED displays emit light. Hence they have readability problem under direct sunlight. Manufactures are working hard to to get that problem solved. OLED displays are bright and do give great image quality. They also have low power consumption compared to current generation displays. So they do have more advantages compared to reflective displays.
I am now confused-Super Amoled is reflective and OLED is emitting itself?
Galaxy S3 uses Super Amoled (reflective?)
I thaught Super Amoled and OLED both are selfemitting and need little power for dark Display
Contents,but need also much more power for bright images on display,so the advantage is less
for bright display.And i have read in http://www.chip.de that S3 has only about 150 cd Brightness,which is not enough for sunlight
I think thats why LG still uses LCD,even offering OLED TV,but only indoor for sure
Kind Regards
AMOLED is Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. OLED comes in two different schemes – Passive matrix (PMOLED) and Active matrix (AMOLED). Samsung Galaxy S3 does come with Super AMOLED display. AMOLED requires a thin-film transistor backplane to switch each individual pixel on or off. On the other hand an OLED display works without a backlight. Thus it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a LCD. In low light condition an OLED screen can achieve a higher contrast ratio that LCD (reflective display). Due to its low thermal conductivity, an OLED typically emits less light per area than an inorganic LED.
wow i m waiting to have s4 in my hands just awsome smartphone is coming wow samsung mobile will b every where
If the recent rumors are true then you don’t have to wait that long. Samsung is expected to launch next generation Galaxy S IV in April next year.
łał, ja na to czekać.
Nie trzeba było czekać zbyt długo. Oczekuje się rozpocząć w kwietniu.
Z opisu wynika że, bateria będzie nie wyjmowalna. Spora wada.
Tak. To prawda. Galaxy S IV będzie miał zakaz wymienną baterię. To będzie trwało o wiele dłużej niż obecnych Galaxy S III.
Yes. That is true. Galaxy S IV will have a non-removable battery. But one thing is sure it will last a lot longer than current flagship Galaxy S III.
A naprzykład jak długo będzie pracować?ciekawe.
Nie ma potwierdzenia w baterii, ale pogłoski że będzie dłuższy niż Samsung Galaxy S3.
There is no confirmation on the battery life but rumours are that it will be longer than Samsung Galaxy S3.
