Samsung Galaxy S4 with S Pen in April
We mentioned that the Galaxy S4 might be featuring an S Pen a long time ago and this is hardly fresh Galaxy S4 news, however, this time around we have some new details, along with a supposed release date of the new device. Western blogs across the web are reporting that Korean media has announced a report that the S4 will have S Pen functionality along with a 4,99 inch full HD display screen. This beast is expected to arrive in April 2013 and Enuri (a Korean media) has reported that Samsung is already hard at work in order to actually meet this deadline.

Korean media suggests that Samsung has already developed most of the technology that they plan to integrate inside of the Galaxy S4s hardware and that we have already seen some of these technologies in action. For example. the SGS4 is expected to come with a 4,99" Super AMOLED Full HD screen which is something similar to what we have seen on the Galaxy Note series. Samsung is expected to offer a great display resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels which means 441 pixels per inch. This is quite impressive, but is is something brand new that we have not yet seen? Not, it really isnt and if Sammy hopes to sell 10 million units a month they will have to dish out something far more impressive if you ask me!
Another detail that was revealed is that we should expect the Galaxy S4 to be a bit thicker with 9.1 mm of thickness which is a big bigger when compared to the Galaxy S3s 8.6 mm of thickness. Honestly though I would quite like this change as I am not such a huge fan of thin mobile devices and I prefer bulkier models. This if of course a matter of preference, but most people will hardly tell the difference.
So what say you dear readership? Are you excited about the Galaxy S4 coming out with an S Pen?

The best apps for the S Pen
If you are the lucky owner of a Samsung GALAXY Note II then you need to check out our video guide to the best apps to make the most of Samsungs innovative pressure sensitive S Pen.
The real beauty of the Samsung GALAXY Note II is the fact that it opens up a whole new world of apps that work even better with the S Pen. Check out the video above for a run through of our current favourite apps on the Google Play store that make the most of the S Pen.
If you want to create something really spectacular on your Note II, then an arty app is a good place to start. LayerPaint makes the creative process even easier by allowing you to work with different layers.
There are loads of handy tools available to help perfect your masterpiece, including brushes, bucket tool, gradation and hand tool.
Once youre happy with your creation, you can even export your work as a Photoshop file to pick up where you left off on your laptop or desktop computer.
An app thats essential for any keen photographers out there is Touch ReTouch. Using your S Pen, you can tweak and edit your GALAXY Note II photos in great detail quickly and easily. You can remove shadows, ghosts and flare, touch-up facial tone and even remove whole bridges and buildings from a background.
Then if youre unsure of the changes, theres an unlimited undo/redo feature and you always keep the original image resolution.
Maze Racer is hand drawn and looks beautiful. It was originally created for a Best S Pen app competition, so is perfect for the S Pen.
The aim is to draw a line from the word start to the word finish, with lots of obstacles getting in your way.
Youre even encouraged to draw your own levels and send them in – which is made infinitely better using the S Pen.
Angry Birds isnt an S Pen specific app, granted, but we reckon its even better to play with one. The precision of the S Pen is loads better than clumsy fingers and you can swipe your catapult across much faster too.
This time the eponymous Angry Birds and the enemy insolent swines find themselves floating in a strange new galaxy. But of course the games built on the same principles as before – launch your birds to destroy as many pigs as possible. This version has 140 levels to complete too, so should keep you busy.
