South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics has already been confirmed to plan on launching the Galaxy S 4 smartphone in its homeland market with an 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor inside, and it seems that it also plans on clocking it in at 1.8GHz.

The smartphone was spotted at the FCC as Samsung SHV-E300S/K, and was listed there with a CPU running at 1.8GHz, which would make it 200MHz faster when compared to the global Exynos-based Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500).

Furthermore, it appears that the device was also confirmed to arrive on shelves in South Korea with multi-band LTE (Band 3, 5, 1, 7, 17) capabilities, SamMobile notes.

No specific info on when Galaxy S 4 will land on shelves in the country has been provided as of now, but late April or early May appear to be the best candidates at the moment.
