Possible Samsung Galaxy S4 Sample Photos Found On Google+

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has to be one of the most anticipated smartphone launches as far as 2013 is concerned, and the rumors of the device, alleged specs and such have been flying off the handle. Now rumors have suggested that the Galaxy S4 will feature a 13MP rear-facing camera, much like Sony’s Xperia Z, and the folks at Androsym have stumbled across some photos on Google+ which appear to have been taken by a certain Samsung GT-I9500, which has been speculated to be the Galaxy S4. The photos have since been removed, but the folks at Androsym have provided some screenshots of the photos on Google+, along with the photos’ EXIF data. The data revealed the photos’ resolution which was at 4128×2322 which suggestes a 9.6MP camera. However Androsym speculates that it could be 13MP as 13MP sensors can capture at that resolution due to its format and viewfinder.

It has also been speculated that it is possible that Sony’s Exmor RS sensor is used by the Galaxy S4, which is also the same sensor found on the Xperia Z. In any case this is merely speculation and since we can’t tell if these photos are actually taken by the Galaxy S4, we suggest you not get too hung up over its quality. Even if it was the Galaxy S4, it should be noted that the photos taken were probably just to test its software and hardware, as opposed to trying to shoot the best possible quality photos that they can. We’ll take this with a grain of salt for now, but be sure to check back with us regularly for more updates!
