The battery capacity of the smartphone will be 2600mAh, as compared to the 21,00mAh in the current flagship. Samsung Galaxy S IV is said to be initially launched in two colours - white and black.
Another tidbit revealed by IT Professional is that the smartphone is now being developed under the codename Project Altius (J). Till now, it was being developed under the moniker Project J, named after JK Shin, the president of the Samsung's mobile division. The device has been codenamed GT-I9500, says the post.
