Samsung Galaxy S4 Active refresh tipped with Snapdragon 800 Sep 11th 2013, 14:10, by Robert Nelson We have seen rumors suggesting the Galaxy S4 Active was going to get a processor bump in the past. In fact, details suggesting the handset would arrive with a Snapdragon 800 processor turned up in some benchmarks back in early-August. Well, flash forward till today and it looks like that Galaxy S4 Active reboot may be happing sometime soon. This latest round of details is coming by way of the Korean language Naver and is suggesting a Snapdragon 800 powered Galaxy S4 Active could arrive as soon as next month. But before any current AT&T Galaxy S4 Active users begin to get upset — it doesn’t look like this model will be coming to the US market. In fact, according to the report, this model will be available only in Korea. Further details in this report bring talk of how the handset was pushed back a bit to give some additional time for the release of the Galaxy Note 3. While we certainly cannot question that bit, it sort of seems like the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 Active would each have their own unique audience. Anyway, aside from the bump in terms of the processor — it looks like the remaining specs will stay the same. Basically, that is to say those in Korea could end up seeing a Galaxy S4 Active with a 5-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, 2600 mAh battery, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a Snapdragon 800 processor. The handset also sports a 2 megapixel front-facing camera and 8 megapixel rear-facing camera along with an IP67 certification for protection against dust and water. In comparison, the currently available Galaxy S4 Active has a quad-core 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. Otherwise, in addition to the Galaxy S4 Active being available for those in the US, the handset also came available in the UK back in July.

That confirmation came back in early September and has the display sitting at 5.9-inches. There isn’t any question that is on the large size in terms of smartphones, however sometimes a hands-on image can really drive that point home. Sadly we aren’t looking at a completed OPPO N1, but even the panel piece that has appeared in this latest leaked image is enough to show the overall size. And just to make the comparison seem a bit more familiar, the OPPO N1 will arrive with a display that is larger than the Galaxy Note 3 at 5.7-inches. Of course, we have yet to see confirmation in terms of the display resolution of the N1. Rumors have suggested the display will be 1080p. Other still rumored specs for the OPPO N1 include a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera with Xenon flash. Basically, the details are still on the lighter side. While we do need the official word from OPPO, we can say that these specs do seem to be lining up with some of the earlier teasers. At the time OPPO confirmed the display size they also dropped the teaser line about how the N1 would be a “large screen smartphone with an amazing camera.” Keeping with this latest leaked image and we also saw a few additional details of the handset. The source that leaked this image also shared details of the battery and more. It is looking like the N1 will arrive with a 3500 mAh battery and have support for fast charge, which will allow you to charge the device in 2 hours time. There was also mention of the back mounted touch-panel, though we had already seen details on that coming direct from OPPO. All said and done, we are now waiting till September 23rd which is the day OPPO will put these rumors to rest.
