Galaxy S4 rumors point to quad-core A15 chip, 13MP camera

Plus a February release?

Given the success of Samsung's Galaxy S3, a Galaxy S4 must be on its way, right?
Samsung isn't about to admit as much, though, meaning we've got to rely on rumors until official word makes its way down the pipeline.

Rumors like, say, Tuesday's report that Samsung's Galaxy S4 will sport the device maker's Exynos 5450 chipset with a powerful Cortex A15 quad-core processor and an equally impressive 13-megapixel camera.

In addition, one report on Tuesday claimed that the Galaxy S4 launch will go down in February, though the exact source of that prediction is unclear.

Galaxy S4 release date

The Samsung Galaxy S4's release date has been the subject of much speculation since whispers flitted about in September claimed that the Android smartphone would be unveiled at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in late February.

Samsung quickly refuted that rumor, though.

More recently, a report from last Friday claimed that Samsung will unveil a new device with a gorgeous 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display at January's CES 2013 conference, and speculation points to that device being the Galaxy S4.

That's yet to be confirmed, though, and SlashGear reported Tuesday that the February launch at Mobile World Congress may still happen, despite Samsung's claims otherwise.

A long road to the Galaxy S4

With Samsung's Galaxy S3 mini only recently revealed, it may still be some time before the Galaxy S4 surfaces in any official capacity.

And a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus may even appear before then.

But until the S4 is announced by Samsung, the rumor mill will doubtless keep chugging.
