Murtazin: Samsung Galaxy S IV to be introduced March 14th in New York City

Eldar Murtazin says that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be introduced on March 14th |
Murtazin's tweet also mentions that HTC will miss HTC One sales in 2013, like it did in 2012. It is not entirely clear whether the reference is being made to the new HTC One, expected to be introduced on February 19th, or to the current HTC One lineup which includes models like the HTC One X+, HTC One X, HTC One S and HTC One V. Either way, the comment by Murtazin does not sound good for Taiwan based HTC. While the HTC DROID DNA/HTC Butterfly has impressed with its 5 inch FHD screen and 441ppi pixel density, the competition at the high end of the smartphone market is fierce. The upcoming HTC One is expected to offer a 4.7 inch FHD screen which would work out to an industry leading 468ppi pixel density.

He's got one thing right: HTC will lose again.
Poor battery, small screen, no expandable storage. RIP HTC One.

Small screen?? The butterfly features a 5" screen.. How is that small?
It will surely be difficult for HTC to catch up with Samsung but who knows, dude.. Who knows..

Butterfly isnt available in the states dna is only on verizon. So they will loose sales. Still very excited what samsung had too offer. Their the only ones that out bid the iph4. Now the sg iv will out sell the iph5 & have a lead start over the plain boring iph5s

Am I the only one who is wondering where these people are coming from? It's the first time I've seen them comment on this site and they are already making the site look bad. It's like looking at YouTube comments...

Punypoop and SleepingOZ started in the comparison of Sony with Galaxy s3, Punypoop trying to dfend his beloved Xperia Z and calling PA biased for telling sme problems with XZ.
thats what Sony fanboys are today

Right, I don't get it though! They keep calling PA team biased blablabla, when the later tell the truth about their fav brands but why the f*ck are they still here?!

It's not "difficult". It's "impossible" for HTC to catch Samsung ever.
The competition is long over. HTC is nothing now. Their only goal should be to survive now. Samsung's only rival is Apple. It's just now apple vs Samsung. Rest are just watching the game.
HTC/Sony/LG/Moto/Nokia everyone is finished. It's only Apple vs Samsung. Survival of the fittest.

Things change man. Wasn't long ago, Motorola was the name in android smartphones, starting with the Droid X, then everyone had to have the RAZR. Now Samsung is king of the android heap. Things can change, and nothing is over. Sammy has a huge lead and it will take a great effort to overcome them, but it's not impossible.

New HTC flagman's specifications are still not announced, so stop trolling about poor battery and other...

The next big thing is almost here, and hopefully it will be smaller than the SIII (the Xperia ZL managed to undercut it with a 5" screen).
5. SleepingOz posted on 18 Feb 2013, 12:10 8 5
Smaller than the GSIII? I don't think so.. But 2 thumbs down for this comment? WTF?
Samsung haters are feeling the heat.. haha

Maybe not smaller, but based on the rendered image with much slimmer bezel, doing S3 size is manageable, I'll do a little photoshopping in a moment...
13. SleepingOz posted on 18 Feb 2013, 12:33 2 1
Yeah, not impossible. Gotta wait and see..

Okay, here's screensize-accurate comparison between the leaked S4 (5") and the S3 render (4,8").
The S4 is just a hairline wider and longer, but only the less rounded edges are noticeable, otherwise if that's the S4 render, it's basically the S3 size with less bezel.

Yeah, seems legit..(no sarcasm lol)
It will also gain more "hardware space" if it has a more rectangular design compared to the GSIII, which means bigger screen with less bezel.

I can't wait, March 8th is my birthday, so I'll be getting some money (plus the one I'm sparing) to buy a Galaxy S IV. Come to papa! :D
39. rusticguy posted on 18 Feb 2013, 17:35 1 2
S4 could bring in lot of disappointment by bringing in nothing unique ... unless of course they make a shift away from plastics.

This is crazy comment...HTC will miss!!! Buddy...there is nothing confirmed in smartphone world...once it was iPhone...then galaxy and then some other model....just because Samsung is doing good now...that doesn't mean it will stay in that position forever....if you can say some b****it, I can also say that galaxy 4 might not be as successful due to huge hype and over expectation...HTC might win who knows.....
