Alleged Galaxy S IV camera samples surface on Google+

The Samsung Galaxy S IV remain as
elusive as ever, but this time we get a
glimpse of some camera samples, which
were accidentally uploaded on Google+.
One of the photos shows a Samsung
branded desk calendar, so chances are,
these are coming straight from Samsung's
HQ (or more probably some regional
Samsung office, which has lower security
standards).
Unfortunately, the resolution of the
photos is not the full one (biggest size is
6MP) and the EXIF information doesn't
tell us much about the camera mounted
on the Samsung's next flagship.
The only technical details we get is that
the camera on both Galaxy S IV models
uses a relatively bright aperture of f/2.2
(it's f/2.6 on the S III) and that the focal
length is 4.2 mm (it's 3.7mm on the S
III). Unfortunately, on its own the focal
length measurement is not comparable
between different camera modules.
Another thing that the EXIF info tells us is
the model name of the South Korean
version (SHV-E300S) and the model
name for the AT&T version (SGH-I337) .
Of course, the EXIF info can be easily
tampered with, so take these findings
with a pinch of salt for now.
In a streak of related news,
AndroidGreed.com reported that the
Galaxy S IV model name for Sprint will be
SPH-D806 , while the one for Verizon
should be called SCH-V727 . According to
their insider source, the smartphone will
launch in the US in early June.
The international version on the other
hand is supposed to be named GT-i9500
