Apple recently won a key victory against Samsung in the US court when a nine-person jury declared the Korean firm had infringed the iPhone-maker’s design and utility patents across some of its products.
The jury awarded Apple with a billion dollars in damages .
Word on the streets: Samsung will announce a 5-in. Galaxy S4 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next February, according to company officials and executives at parts suppliers quoted in The Korea Times.
While an S4 announcement early next year was long expected, the specific timetable appeared only three days after Apple introduced the iPhone 5, which quickly sold out of its initial pre-orders on Friday.
Samsung has divulged little about the successor to the Galaxy S III, which has a slightly smaller 4.8-in. display. The S4's display will be OLED-based, according to the report. The S4 will definitely support LTE networks, parts suppliers said, and will use Samsung's in-house application processors and quad core chips. The S4 will run Android, presumably the latest version available when the phone ships in March. One executive told the Korea Times that the S4 will also be rectangular with rounded corners, like its predecessor.
The competition between Apple and Samsung has reached epic proportions. There are more than 50 different patent disputes between the two companies in many countries across four continents, according to patent experts.
A brilliant tech-war brewing here... Samsung's definitely putting up a strong fight with the iPhone makers.
