Samsung Galaxy S IV is one of the most awaited smartphones from
Samsung's stable in 2013. In the recent past, there have been
various
rumours regarding this smartphone.
Now, according to Russian
journalist Eldar Murtazin Samsung is hosting a big event on March 14,
2013 and it is likely that one will see Samsung Galaxy S IV unveiled at
this event. Earlier in the month, SamMobile had predicted that this
device may be unveiled on March 15, at the company's special Mobile
Unpacked event.
It is noteworthy, that Murtazin has been fairly
accurate about Samsung's announcements in the past. So it is likely that
he may be on to something even this time around. While his tweet this
time doesn't mention the Galaxy S IV explicitly, SamMobile later replied that the tweet was indeed a reference to the impending Galaxy S
IV launch.
TheVerge too is reporting that Korean smartphone
maker is "definitely" going to launch something on March 14. It further
goes on to state that Samsung will be unveiling one or more new devices
at this event. Murtazin has also predicted that this event
may be held in New York. One of these devices is likely to be
Samsung Galaxy S IV and The Verge believes that the other device might
be Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
As per past rumours, Samsung Galaxy S
IV will feature a 4.99-inch Super AMOLED display with full-HD
resolution, 13-megapixel rear auto focus camera, Android Jelly Bean and
an Exynos 5 Octa chipset. The smartphone is also expected to support
wireless charging. The company reportedly plans to sell a separate dock
and a back cover with wireless charging capabilities for the device. The
wireless charging kit is expected to be made available a couple of
weeks later after the Galaxy S IV goes on sale.
Speaking of sales,
past reports seem to indicate that the company is aiming to sell 10
million Galaxy S IV smartphones every month.
In his usual
sarcastic style, Murtazin also taken a dig at HTC One and predicted that
this smartphone too will not be able to meet its sales target.
