If U.S. customers feel that the Samsung Galaxy S4 quad-core processor just isn't fast enough, Newegg is now offering the unlocked 8-core smartphone.
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 it announced two variants of the smartphone. One model would include Samsung's 1.6GHz Exynos octa-core processor, while a 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor would power the other. All U.S. carriers received the quad-core model, which is no slouch in terms of speed. If you're a Galaxy S4 fan wanting for the faster and more powerful Galaxy S4, however, you can now purchase the unlocked 8-core smartphone from Newegg.
The unlocked Galaxy S4 features a 5-inch Full HD (1080p) display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, with a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch (ppi). It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX. The smartphone is powered by an Exynos 5 Octa 5410 Chipset, quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, with a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU and 2GB of RAM. As far as storage goes, the handset includes 16GB of internal storage and also comes with a microSD expansion slot with support for up to 64GB microSD cards.
Its camera capabilities include a 13-megapixel rear camera with auto flash and zero shutter lag, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear camera includes HD 1080p video capture at 30fps. In terms of wireless connectivity the Galaxy S4 includes Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and GPS. It also comes with a built-in infrared LED universal remote control and program guide. Samsung has included a large removable 2,600 mAh battery.
Samsung has included some unique software features to make the Galaxy S4 stand out from rivals. One of its standout features is its Smart Scroll feature, which allows you to control scrolling on the Galaxy S4 by simply staring at the display and tilting the smartphone. Air View is another impressive feature, as it allows you to hold your finger over different things like email, videos, images and more without ever having to touch the display. Those are only two of its many impressive features.
