Mobile, Galaxy S Iv | featured news

Samsung is planning to launch a new eight-inch tablet and a new smartphone built to withstand harsh environments this summer and designed to appeal to business and government clients.

As the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone breaks cover around the world, a number of US writers have early reviews of the flagship Android phone from Samsung. While none of the reviews are glowing, it's clear that the South Korean manufacturer has not taken any risks with the handsets, making it a little bit bigger, the specs a little bit higher, the size and weight a little bit smaller, and so on.

New features Samsung reportedly plans to include in its next-generation Galaxy S IV smartphone have been revealed in a series of leaked screenshots. The images show various pages within the settings on Samsung’s custom version of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and they detail some intriguing new functionality coming to the Galaxy S IV as well as an update due to hit Samsung’s current flagship phone, the Galaxy S III.

Samsung is trying to build excitement for its next Galaxy phone ahead of a big media event on March 14, releasing a teaser ad for the device on Monday. The ad stars a child, Jeremy Maxwell, who is, for whatever reason, chosen by Samsung to be the “secret messenger” charged with carrying the company’s next big release to the conference himself.

The next generation is just a few weeks away for the world's hottest smartphone without a piece of fruit on it. The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled March 14 at a New York event, the company announced Monday.
