Purported Galaxy S4 mockups and specs tango on Twitter

Purported Galaxy S4 mockups and specs tango on Twitter

What will be left to know come next week?

As the days to Samsung's New York City Unpacked event tick away, we're seeing bits and pieces of the Galaxy S4, set to be unveiled during the March 14 blockbuster event, leak with increasing ferocity.

Who better than the @evleaks Twitter account to give us the latest batch of covert goods?

The usually reliable leaker graced the web this evening with not just some specs, but a pair of renderings that seemingly show the design of the upcoming handset.

Check out the first, specs and all, below:

Leak lessons

Let's break down what @evleaks has presented us. The image is clearly a render, perhaps even a placeholder, so while it's potentially an indicator of the overall layout, size and shape of the device, it's by no means the final product.

As for specs, we're told the SIV has a Super AMOLED Full HD touch screen - no bendy display here.

Storage options are 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, sizes we've heard as well, while there's 2GB of RAM.

The camera, according to the leak, will be a 13MP snapper with 4128 x 3096 pixels. Autofocus and LED flash are part of the camera package.

Finally, the operating system, which has been the subject of some debate, is pegged as Android 4.2: Jelly Bean.

King of the Galaxy

@evleaks also posted a picture placing the S4 at the forefront of other Galaxy phones, showing that this will likely be the biggest Galaxy we've seen yet. Various reports have the screen at either 4.99 or even 5-inches

For the typically on-point @evleaks, a tipster that more often than not provides more than just a standalone image with its posts, these tweets are enigmatic, so take the mockups and specs with a grain of salt.

However, they do give us a foundation on which to lay our expectations as we countdown the days until Unpacked. TechRadar will by in NYC in full force, bringing you all the latest on the S4's reveal. Until then, check out our complete rundown of every report and rumor so far. It makes for scintillating reading.
