A number of smartphones come with support for LTE connectivity these days. However, Samsung is looking forward to stand its own flagship smartphone apart by claiming that the upcoming version of S4 will offer twice as fast LTE connectivity as any other smartphone.

This is certainly possible because Samsung is making use of LTE-Advanced 4G technology together with a speedier Qualcomm chip in the purported new model.

According to reports, the upgraded handset will arrive in Korea by the end of this month. So it it is  expected that the handset would be available in the US market next month.

When asked about the global sales of Galaxy S4, Shin insisted that the handset is doing really well, saying, “S4 sales remain strong. It’s selling far stronger than the (Galaxy) S III … and the new LTE-Advanced (4G) phone will be another addition to our high-end segment offerings that ensure healthy profit margins.”
