Last week reports surfaced that Samsung planned to release the newest version of its flagship smartphone line, the Galaxy S IV, at the Mobile World Congress in Spain. However, Samsung quickly denied the rumor on Twitter.
When the latest version debuts, the device is expected to feature a five-inch screen, keeping in line with the company’s methodology of increasing the screen size with each release. The iPhone 5 also featured a larger screen. Samsung sold more than 20 million units in the last three months, officially marking the first time the iPhone 4S was not the top selling smartphone.
While the Galaxy S IV remains a rumor, it seems unlikely that Samsung would not debut the phone at the Mobile World Congress. The company said, even before the U.S. Court ruling against Samsung that it had been working on new designs to further separate the company from Apple. Based on that, a new release makes sense as Apple has added an addendum to the other pending lawsuit, which specifically takes aim at the Galaxy S III.
Items to Ponder
For now, in addition to the latest rumor, consumers may continue to debate the following:
- Role of Processors – Will Apple have to pay more for Samsung’s processors? That is what Samsung wants. The company claims it is the only firm that produces on-time delivery with superior pricing and performance for mobile app processors.
- Screen Size – Will screen size become the deciding factor on why to purchase a smartphone? So far, Samsung, and now Apple must think so. That strategy helped Samsung become the dominate manufacturer of Android devices.
