Samsung is about to debut its next-generation Galaxy S smartphone, and interest in Galaxy S IV is starting to ramp up wildly.

We’ve gotten lots of leaked pictures claiming they show the Galaxy S IV, numerous benchmarks proving how powerful the upcoming smartphone can be, and now we have more details that confirm some of these rumors.

Apparently, the folks over at Omio got their hands on a new set of screenshots taken from AnTuTu benchmark results for a certain device called Samsung GT-I9505.

Given the phone’s codename, we suspect this is the UK-bound version of Samsung Galaxy S IV, which has already been confirmed to arrive at EE (Everything Everywhere) and Three carriers.

The device benchmarked scored 22,630 points, which is in line with previously leaked benchmarks where the GT-9500 scored 21,469 points.

According to these screenshots, this version of Galaxy S IV will be equipped with a quad-core Exynos Octa 5 processor, which is complemented by Qualcomm’s Adreno 320 graphics processing unit.

However, word is the US version of Galaxy S IV will be packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core chipset instead of Samsung’s Exynos CPU.

Aside from that, specs might be similar, so we should expect both versions of Galaxy S IV to boast a 4.99-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and 480ppi.

Samsung’s superphone is also expected to embed 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which will be further expandable up to 64GB via microSD memory card.

The AnTuTu benchmark also shows that the GT-I9505 sports a 13-megapixel rear photo snapper, along with a 2.1-megpaixel front-facing camera for video calls.

Last but not least, Samsung Galaxy S IV is expected to ship with Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, which is confirmed in the benchmark as well. Stay tuned for more info on this one.
