With the iPhone 5 pre-orders passing the 2 million mark in just 24 hours which is double the digits that iPhone 4S had passes last year, it's obvious that Samsung would try something to counter this amazing news and challenge it's opponent in the market.

As expected, the Galaxy S IV will be the company’s most powerful smartphone till date and is said to include a 5-inch display, a quad-core Exynos processor and 4G LTE capabilities. “Samsung wants to keep its one-year product schedule and the Galaxy S4 will be the first to match that strategy,” said an unnamed official from one of Samsung’s local partners. “The S4 will see some external changes but retain its popular rectangular shape with rounded corner concept.”

The report said Samsung plans to fire back in another way, too. Samsung is asking Apple to pay more for the processors it produces at an Austin, Texas, plant and is promoting itself as "the only firm that can guarantee on-time delivery, output commitment and better pricing for mobile application processors," one executive told The Korea Times.
