A new variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone has emerged over at the FCC, one that packs LTE-Advanced connectivity inside, and which should arrive on shelves internationally.

Featuring model number GT-i9506, the smartphone has already been released in South Korea, yet it appears that Samsung is preparing it for launch in other countries as well.

The smartphone comes with support for LTE band 5 (850MHz), and also packs a Snapdragon 800 processor inside, as a recent article on phonearena notes.

No specific info on the release of the mobile phone in more markets around the world has been provided as of now, but previous reports have suggested that Japan could receive it starting with early September, which means that an official announcement on the matter might be near.
