The same report claims the phone could be available in a plastic case or a more premium model with a metal body, and will come loaded with some serious digital beef -- a 64-bit processor, 3 GB of RAM, a 16 megapixel camera and a huge 4,000 mAh battery to power a 5-inch flexible display that could jam as many as 560 pixels into each inch of screen real estate. Samsung had no immediate response to a request for comment, but certainly many Galaxy S4 owners won't be as speechless when the flagship phone they proudly brought home this year is eclipsed in less than the time it takes us all to make a single trip around the sun.
