Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition
Despite the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date expected to be just a matter of weeks away, that hasn’t stopped the Korean manufacturer refreshing its outgoing flagship phone as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition is announced.
Formally unveiled alongside a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Black Edition, the refreshed S4 has been confirmed for launch in Russia, with a global rollout to follow in the near future.
Despite landing as a dedicated new model edition, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition has few differences from the standard flagship phone which launched last April.
Ditching the gloss plastic rear that has been the subject of much criticism, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition features an equally unappealing soft-touch, faux leather rear similar to that found on the oversized and stylus hosting Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Aside from the leather effect rear, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition’s only other notable difference is a new, fittingly dark themed homescreen background.
Like the standard S4 offering, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition runs a 5-inch, 1080p Full HD display alongside a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
With a 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera and integrated 4G and NFC connectivity options, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition specs sheet is rounded off by a 2600mAh Lithium-Ion battery at Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
With only Russian pricing having been confirmed at this point, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition will set wannabe owners back 22,990 roubles (£400).
