Samsung tweets the clearest Samsung Galaxy S 4 picture yet

The tweet from Samsung

This time, the image comes directly from Samsung. A tweet from the Korean manufacturer reveals an image that is obviously the Samsung Galaxy S 4, even though it doesn't actually name the phone pictured. Coming from Samsung Mobile US to be precise, the tweet asks, "The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun. Who’s ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?"

The image looks exactly like the phone called the GT-I9502, which was described as the Samsung Galaxy S 4 for China. That leaked photo was part of a series of pictures that we showed you this morning. Gone are the squared off corners seen on an earlier leaked photo and which were prominent on a case that was allegedly made for the phone. Instead, we have the rounded corners that are a major part of the design on Samsung's current flagship phone, and used throughout the Korean firm's smartphone line.

The Samsung Galaxy S 4 will be introduced in New York on March 14th and Samsung expects over 100 million units to sell. Each year's introduction of the newest model of the Galaxy S line is quickly becoming a major event in the world of smartphones, similar to what we have seen with the Apple iPhone. During the event on Thursday, Samsung is expected to show off the Smart Scroll feature that uses eye movement to make the content on the screen scroll.

You don't need to go anywhere else for coverage of the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 on Thursday as we will be covering the event live!

i agree. its a supped up version of the S3. I bet it has better features, but not enough for me to regret upgrading to the S3 in december of last year.

Whatever you have to tell yourself, go for it but that's the s4 and it shouldn't come as a surprise. They use cheap plastics but make very good devices nonetheless!

I think that it is not Samsung Galaxy S IV because there is NO LOGIC from Samsung to share this Samsung Galaxy S IV image while they still did not showed whole "Be ready 4 The Next Galaxy" video story! I think it may be just a trick to create a bit drama before showing the real Samsung Galaxy S IV, but again it is only my guesswork! :)

Well you also said that, "I think that it is not Samsung Galaxy S IV." I read your whole post, but I misunderstood your post. My apologizes. But you do make a great point! Yeah, now thinking that those ads were a complete waste.

Sorry if my comment was a bit confusing, English is not my native language, that's why sometimes it is hard to clearly express my minds in text. :)

Its either both Phones are different in the comparison pic or some photoshopping was done. The Logo on the Samsung leak sits higher above the screen than the handset in the other photo.

lumia phones have changed alot they vary in colour and the only phone that look alike are the 900 and 920 and now they're changing to a different material from polycarbonate and they sold more than 1st galaxy so yeah but the 1st gen lumias were a big fail anyway so they don't count(the 800 900 700 and 610)

You are bringing the first galaxy. How about second or even third galaxy against any of the lumia devices or even all of them combined. First gen or 2nd gen.

You must remember it took two generations of Galaxy Phones to get noticed, and it's taken two generations of Lumia to get noticed and sell above "expectations", remember everything in context. To be fair here.
