The time has come! Samsung is about to announce the Galaxy S IV at a loud event in New York City, and you can be sure that we'll be there to enjoy the show live (and to get the chance of playing with the new device). As you might have seen, we've posted the official webcast of the event, but if that's just not your thing, or you're looking for a liveblog coverage, you've come to the right place...

And be ever more terrible than the GS3 in low light! Haha

It looks the exact same. Samsung continues to make fun of Apple and then follows their lead? pathetic.

!!! Here is a new idea why we may still didn't saw a real Samsung Galaxy S IV !!!
When I was looking at the leaked Samsung Galaxy S IV videos, I have noticed that front part of phones body is a bit transparent and looks like a glass fiber material or something like that. Sometimes manufacturers use such materials for test units and that may mean that leaked images and videos still may be just of an prototype and not the real Samsung Galaxy S IV design...
So, what all you think about my conspiracy theory??? :D

I just hope they don't make it like a GS3.2 since the leaked pics seem otherwise

I hope those leaked pics were of the refreshed GS3 that was rumored a few days ago; it called for a bigger battery and an improved display which kind of matches the pictures.
Also, the leaked pictures had an earpiece, whereas the pic from Samsung of the upper half of the GS4 doesn't.

I really hate that button in the middle. Just put the standard jelly bean buttons and that's it.

they really need to ditch that and come up with a decent desgin,gs3 design was pretty lame compared to other offerings on the market.
sammy stop behaving like apple!! iphone 4,4s,5. designs are practically the same.
you need to refresh the design every year sammy!!!

Sammy is best at tweaking the software to its full potential but it drastically lacks in Design & choice of premium materials.....
Well lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best ....
12. techspace posted on 14 Mar 2013, 13:25 2 0
the design should be better, even if the s4 comes with better features, the customers will feel that the htc one looks so beautiful and the xperia z is water, dust proof...
30. mafiaprinc3 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 15:56 1 0
xperia z is beautiful too. htc and sony are two of the few companys that kep updating the designs of their phones. sammy is just lazy
16. Nathan_ingx posted on 14 Mar 2013, 13:29 0 6
One question!
Will the Galaxy S4 be able to make fun of iPhone 5S or Math or iPhone 6?
17. cloud_atlas1991 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 13:32 2 1
I think it'd be better if they FAIL this time around. So that they would know where they f**ked up. And in turn fight back with a really mad device. Like what HTC did. If I own a GS3 or a Note 2, I would definitely NOT upgrade to this one. But if I own a Droid DNA, I'd easily sell it to buy the One.
So, mayday for Sammy.

love you samsung but if this the real thing i'm going to be a little disappointed.

"Oh, boy, this is so exciting!"
would you please define what is exiting?
seeing S4 or getting your salary increased? LOL

you so arrogant
why are you even here go play with your xperia z
32. _VipeR_ posted on 14 Mar 2013, 16:57 2 0
Only thing about this that I'm really interested in is to see the actual design. The original leaks seemed to have more rectangular corners and so do the cases that have already leaked. These recent leaks look too rounded to match up with the originals. I would think that with Sammy in the middle of wanting to Re-Brand the company, then coming with a completely new design on the most anticipated smartphone of the year would be a big step towards that. However, I am inclined to believe the article posted yesterday about the S4 being the last phone to be born in the iPhone's shadow. All that said, this release could have some hints of what to look forward to in the Note III, which is the device I am really psyched about!

you mean to tell me i slept most of the day and woke up figuring they would have already announced the s4 and it turns out their not doing it till 7pm est...lame

Well considering that it was just revealed, your theory is false.
52. 3SM.. posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:28 0 0
Yeah, I'm quite disappointed in the design, but it doesn't completely stop me from buying the S4.
53. PhoneArenaUser posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:30 0 0
I don't know, I'm still watching. :)

So am I! Though I am liking some of the features!
60. PhoneArenaUser posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:44 0 0
I'm more interested in tech features than in software features, what about you?
63. PhoneArenaUser posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:57 0 0
At the moment I see that majority of features are just a software gimmicks (bloatware). :(
67. Tre-Nitty posted on 14 Mar 2013, 19:11 1 0
Exactly! This phone is nothing but a gimmick. They did exactly what Apple has done as of late. Minimal upgrade at best.
46. faisolbauuz posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:21 1 0
Damn it looks like gs3 so the leaked ones are true
51. cloud_atlas1991 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:27 1 0
Soooo... DISAPPOINTMENT seeps in. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is basically just a bigger Galaxy S3. Face palm moment for the Korean company. Oh well. Next flagship, please!

Ray S. be careful, show head says that Jeremy Maxwell may throw up! :DDD
55. lkjhg755 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 18:35 2 1
So far, I'm unimpressed. This doesn't seem to be offering anything new, just specs like the HTC one and xperia z, but with an SD slot and Samsung's inferior build quality.
