The companies who could (or are, in some cases) supply parts for the Galaxy S 4 include:

1-Year Comparative Return (Access a performance overview for all stocks in the list)

1. QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM): Qualcomm’s main competitive pressures come from the 4G baseband market. If 4G-only smartphones grow, Qualcomm’s advantage in supplying multi-modes would be reduced. NVIDIA (NVDA) is trying to compete with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon through its Tegra 4 release. 

Engages in the development, design, manufacture, and marketing of digital wireless telecommunications products and services. Market cap at $115.18B, most recent closing price at $67.04.

 

2. Universal Display Corp. (PANL): Universal Display makes OLED host emitter material. The S IV will use the company’s material, since power efficiency improves by 25% using OLED. The large 5-inch screen will benefit Universal Display, but the company is trying to enter the OLED television market. Until this happens, investors should expect upside to be limited.

Universal Display is up 55% from a low reached in November 2012, closing recently at $33.42.
