Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-Advanced ufficiale per la Corea (con video)
Dopo l'ampia carrellata di foto di ieri (e dopo tutte le notizie che l'hanno preceduta), l'esistenza del Galaxy S4 LTE-Advanced non può certo essere definita un mistero, e allora Samsung ha pensato bene di mettere un punto su tutte le speculazioni al riguardo e rendere davvero ufficiale lo smartphone.
Confermati dunque (ma non ce n'era davvero bisogno) sia la presenza dello Snapdragon 800, che, ovviamente, il supporto alla rete mobile più veloce al mondo. Proprio questo dettaglio rende al momento lo smartphone un'esclusiva coreana, dove sarà disponibile nel corso dell'estate con le due colorazioni qui sopra, anche se altre arriveranno in seguito.
Il prezzo non viene svelato, ma ora come ora ha un'importanza relativa per noi italiani; in compenso potete divertirvi a guardare il video di presentazione in coreano (apprezzo sempre moltissimo la loro gestualità! NdR) e a leggere il comunicato stampa ufficiale: li trovate entrambi dopo lo stacco.

World’s First LTE-A Smartphone
Samsung’s introduction of the GALAXY S4 LTE-A, the world’s first LTE Advanced-capable smartphone, is the latest expression of the company’s efforts in leading LTE technology. Samsung’s commitment to driving LTE adoption achieved its first milestone in 2010 with the launch of the Craft, the world’s first LTE feature phone, and continued in 2011 with the delivery of the Indulge, the world’s first LTE smartphone. In the last year, Samsung has also pioneered efforts to bring VoLTE network capabilities to users with the launch of the GALAXY S III LTE.
Doubled Network Speeds
The GALAXY S4 LTE-A’s advanced network enables users to experience substantially faster speeds – double today’s LTE speeds - by leveraging carrier aggregation, an approach that combines different frequencies and uses them as one. With this groundbreaking technology, users can enjoy uninterrupted high-resolution streaming of their favorite shows and stronger, faster speeds when playing games, browsing the internet, and downloading files and applications.
Unmatched Multimedia Experience
Featuring a powerful 2.3GHz quad core processor and a long-lasting 2,600mAh battery, and capable of accessing significantly faster network speeds, the GALAXY S4 LTE-A delivers an enriched multimedia experience to users. New features such as ImageON* – which analyzes images that users view, then identifies and plays videos related to the image with just one click – extend access to relevant content on the internet and create new ways to experience and interact with multimedia resources. A high resolution Digital Media Broadcasting* service delivers unparalleled clarity and viewing experiences for on-the-go consumption of live television programs or sporting events. In addition, the GALAXY S4 LTE-A is equipped with the same innovative features of the GALAXY S4 that help make daily life richer, simpler and more fun.
*ImageON and a high resolution DMB are only available for the Korean version.
The GALAXY S4 LTE-A will be available this summer starting in Korea in two colors: Blue Arctic and Red Aurora.
More color options will be available at a later date.
