It looks like we'll know everything about the Samsung Galaxy S IV before the actual launch, which is just a few hours away. Videos demonstrating some of the major features of the smartphone have now appeared on YouTube.
The four videos were
spotted by SammyHub, and show the floating touch feature, Internet browsing experience on the phone, the Smart Pause feature and the phone's new lock screen.
While the floating touch feature is similar to the Galaxy Note II's Air View, it does not require the use of the S-Pen stylus and works with human fingers. It lets you preview media items such as video without tapping and opening them.
The video demonstrating the Internet performance showcases the browsers and the ability to navigate and scroll through web pages by hand gestures.
The Smart Pause feature checks whether or not the user is looking at the phone's screen and pauses videos accordingly.
The new lock screen looks different from the existing one but we've seen similar ones on the LG Optimus G.
SammyHub claims that the videos were uploaded by the same uploader who had earlier posted videos of a Samsung device with the model number GT-I9502 on a Chinese forum. These offered quite a bit in terms of the deign and hardware.
Earlier in the day a new set of images were
posted by the Chinese site IT68, revealing both hardware and design details, pointing towards the presence of a dual-SIM variant, and confirming many of the previously rumoured specs such as a 4.99-inch 1080p AMOLED display, the Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor 2 GB RAM, a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU and a 13-megapixel camera.According to the leaked images, design wise, the Galaxy S IV will be just 7.7mm thin and weigh only 138 grams.
The images also mentioned the Smart Stay eye tracking feature that is already expected, as well as the floating touch technology.The Korean company has been building quite a lot of momentum around its much-hyped launch from releasing
teaser videos to organising a
flash mob at New York City's Times Square.
