A Samsung Galaxy S4 review has already been posted on one website, ahead of the official launch in New York.
The Chinese website mobile.it168.com, which was the source of some video and pictures earlier, posted the full review this afternoon in video.
Samsung Galaxy S4 review: design
The website says, 'compared to the previous generation called "Design For Human" natural design, S4 appearance up more calm and conservative.'
The Galaxy S4 certainly looks like the Samsung Galaxy S3, with rounded corners and the same plastic backing as its predecessors.
It goes on to say the design has been'raised a notch in the manufacturing process and the selected materials, although it is still plastic, but obviously can feel the "premium" feel.'
The screen, as predicted, measures 4.99-inches: 'the front of a screen of 4.99 inches, still equipped with Corning Gorilla glass, and for the first time joined the narrow border design,'
mobile.it168.com even has the full dimensions of the device: 'Samsung Galaxy S4's body measures 140.1x71.8x7.7mm, and the entire phone still seems quite large in size. But the good news is that the body thickness of 7.7mm, so very good feeling in his hand, and can obviously feel how light it is.'
Samsung Galaxy S4 review: Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a 13-megapixel camera according to the website and it features Sony's EXMOR technology as previously rumoured.
'The phone's shooting menu interface is also very rich, supports white balance, sensitivity, image stabilization,' the review states - all of which is pretty standard from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy S4 review: operating system and user interface
As rumoured, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will run on Android 4.2.1.
As we said earlier today, the Galaxy S4 will include some S-Pen-like features and is named Floating Touch, but will not support the full S-Pen functions.
Floating Touch allows you to preview an SMS without having to open the whole message - you can hover your finger over the SMS to see a preview.
'Floating Touch is only supported in information preview, progress preview, zoom speed dial contacts, and web pages,' the website said.
Samsung Galaxy S4 review: Battery
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will feature a 2,600mAh battery which is pretty impressive for a smartphone. It will need such power to keep the juice going while that large, high resolution display is at work.
We'll be bringing you our full first look review in just a couple of hours, so until then, head to our Samsung Galaxy S4 launch live blog for the news as it happens.
