Samsung Galaxy S4 likely to be launched February 2013

Well the launch of Apple's iPhone 5 has disappointed many, even the Apple iPhone users. All that is new is that it is sleek and loner - just like a TV remote control. With a few small improvements here and there, there is nothing 'substantial' that could make someone really want to buy iPhone 5, except by those who want to hold a 'latest device,' nothing more, nothing less.

Samsung, which has better phones, easy to operate and load software, rather than getting into lengthy jailbreaking, is becoming more popular even in Apple's home country - the USA.

While Samsung Galaxy S III has shown better business and much more technologically advanced that the Apple devices, has now decided to bring in Samsung Galaxy S4. 

As reported by Wahaab JB at Chip Hazard, the Galaxy S4 is reported to launch/unveil at the  annual Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona, Spain and would release the next month (March).

The next Galaxy is likely to feature a five-inch screen (versus 4.8-inch on the SIII) and LTE capabilities and will allegedly run Samsung’s quad-core Exynos processor. From the outside, Samsung’s phone will “retain its popular rectangular shape with rounded corner concept”.

Well for those who have been disappointed by the grim features of iPhone 5, they have now a  new gadget coming early next year, which may overshadow the Apple's new iPhone 5 and force it to go for another iPhone 5 S(tretched) with no well defined edge over Samsung.

The 'war of phones' may never end between Samsung and Apple.

Further Update [19 September]: Samsung has refuted any such rumor of launch of Galaxy S IV - Read more: Imposing Headlines

Do you NEED to buy iPhone 5?

Well now that the genie is out and Apple has unleashed its latest and much awaited iPhone, the oft question being asked now is: Do you need to buy iPhone 5, if you already have iPhone 4S?

Well to have a latest gadget in your hand may be one thing to show off, but would it bring any substantial change in the hardware you had been carrying in the form of iPhone 4S?

Well those who have iPhone 4S already and are a bit of tech geeks would know not to spend money for a marginal edge over their existing phone in its outward looks only - something sleek and lighter and of course new and 'latest.' But what resides inside is another story.

And the news is that Apple is reducing the price of iPhone 4S 16 GB model to $99 - well that is something substantial. With iPhone equipped with a 8MP camera, as iPhone 5 too has, what additional benefit one gets in buying a $199 iPhone?

Those buying iPhone 5 would say that it has new iOS 6, bringing in new features like a new Map App. But this map is to be downloaded separately and is not part of iOS 6.

And the sleek iPhone 5 is longer than iPhone 4S which slides easily in your pocket. Imagine iPhone 5's edge popping out of your pocket, like a lamp-genie itching to be released!!

Well soon the euphoria and hype of iPhone 5 would be over as more is known about its 'additional features' and hardware performance. And what if after a few weeks or months Apple announces iPhone 5S improving the drawbacks in iPhone 5 after customer feedback, just like it did after iPhone 4? What would you do then?

I think after reading comments and analyses on internet, I will hold on to my previous phone and wait till Apple brings out something substantial, competitive and inviting as compared to many advanced android based smartphones available in the market, free from the hassle of jailbreaking and other Apple and iPhone specific restrictions.

What are you thinking?

iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S(tretched)?

Well the 'genie' is finally out and the gadget and tech lovers are wanting to know more about the Apple's latest phone that had been delayed and delayed over and over again.

And what do we get: A phone little larger than the iPhone 4S or should I say iPhone 4 S(tretched)?

Well just looking at the photographs, there is no difference between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 - except that it is a little longer and looks more like a TV's remote control, rather than a cellphone. Going by how Apple is progressing, one can find longer iPhones with no additional features as as happened just a couple of days ago.

The developing iPhones of future

I do not know whether Steve Jobs dreamt of a similar device when he was planning on iPhone 5 when alive, but the new iPhone certainly ushers in a new era of longer and slimmer phones. And you never know how the iPhone 10,20 or 30 would look like in future - may be just like Star Wars' like electronic swords.

So are you going to wait for the longer iPhones of future or be contended with the iPhone 4S(tretched) for the time being?
