Samsung loved its leather-look Note 3 so much it's revised the Galaxy S 4 design to m

Probably the biggest deviation from those well-worn design notes of late was the leather-look plastic back that adorned the Galaxy Note 3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/30/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review/). We certainly preferred it to the recent smooth, fingerprint-friendly affairs found on the Galaxy S III (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review/) and S 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/). It seems the phone giant did too, and has released a new version of the GS 4 in Korea (Samsung Galaxy S 4 LTE-A, if you're interested) that features the same textured effect on the rear -- along with the not-so-needed faux stitching. Oh, and "rose gold (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/02/samsung-galaxy-note-3-red-rose-gold/)" makes a comeback on the metal-look details too! So, while this might be no good to you, with your slippy-slidey OG Galaxy S-whatever, with number five potentially being just around the corner (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/03/samsung-unpacked-5-invitation/?ncid=rss_truncated), it could be a suggestion of what it might look like.
