Samsung has denied pictures of its forthcoming Galaxy S4 have appeared on a Chinese discussion forum.
Just two days away from the highly anticipated smartphone a user of Chinese forum 52Samsung has posted what were claimed to be pictures of the Galaxy S4.
The images show a smartphone which looks like a larger version of the Galaxy S3, similar to that of the Galaxy Note 2. It has the distinct Samsung Galaxy look and has the same physical home button as precious generations.
However, the design looks quite different to previous leaks and reports which have suggested a more square design and smaller bezels above and below the screen. The black model in the photos appears to have a textured finish, but this could just be appearance only.
It’s possible these photos are a hoax or is a prototype which Samsung has made for testing purposes so the final design could well look very different. The model number says GT-I9502 rather than the expected GT-I9500.
Translated, the users post said: "The machine model GT-I9502 Unicom customised version of the legendary S4" suggesting this is a test model for the Chinese mobile network.
Some shots of the menu system confirm that the Galaxy S4 is running on Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. A number of previously rumoured specifications are also confirmed such as a 5" Full HD screen, a 1.8GHz processor, believed to be the Exynos 5 Octa and 2Gb of RAM.
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S4 this Thursday, 14 March, so be sure to join us for all the news, specs, price, images and release date.
