Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S4 Black Edition and Galaxy S4 Mini Black Edition, two "new" smartphones with black colour schemes and Galaxy Note 3-inspired faux leather backs.
The Galaxy S4 Black Edition is based on the original Galaxy S4, albeit with a black finish and plastic, faux-stitched back panel. The internals stay the same, meaning a 4.99in, 1080p resolution AMOLED display, quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor running at 1.9GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel rear camera.
The Galaxy S4 Mini Black Edition, meanwhile, drops the screen size to 4.3in, resolution to 960x540, CPU to a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 running at 1.7GHz and rear camera to an 8-megapixel sensor. Essentially, it's a Galaxy S4 Mini in black.
Both models will ship with black power adapters, data cables, and in-ear headphones, as opposed to the white versions that are included with the standard version of each handset. Samsung will also be pre-loading handsets with eight new wallpapers and a selection of new ringtones - hardly anything for existing S4 or S4 mini owners to lose sleep over.
It's unclear whether Samsung will be selling the faux leather back panels separately, for Galaxy S4 or S4 Mini owners to give their phones a bit of a facelift, although with only black models announced it would be no help to owners of white handsets.
Samsung has yet to announce pricing or set firm dates, but the UK is confirmed as one of the countries to receive the new models.
