With mere minutes to go before Samsung is expected to take the wraps off the Galaxy S4, leaked images of the suspected device have already gone deeper.

Appearing on the Chinese Web site It168.com, the detailed images show a meticulous teardown of the handset, which is expected to be unveiled this evening in New York. The source of the images appears to be the same person who leaked clear images last night of the assembled handset.

The gallery of images is an apparent confirmation of many of the rumors that have been circulating about Samsung's new flagship phone, including that it will be powered by the company's new 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor (model number 5410). The device also appears to sport a 13-megapixel camera.

The handset is also expected to feature 2GB of RAM, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and the latest version of Android, known as 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, though those were details that could not immediately be confirmed from the images.
