Samsung Mobile US posted a picture on Twitter, showing a handset which is most likely the Galaxy S 4. The update said: “The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun. Who’s ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?”

Though the picture only shows the top part of the phone it looks similar to the pictures I posted yesterday.

The leaked pictures showed a device that looked very similar to the Galaxy S3, only slightly larger. Information published on the forum claimed that the phone has a 1080p display, runs Android 4.2.1, has a 1.8GHz Universal5410 processor and 2GB of RAM.

The Verge, which first published the leaked photos, said the Universal5410 is “likely a codename for the Exynos Octa 5410, an eight-core processor with four A15 cores for power and four A7 cores for power efficiency”.

Galaxy S IV rumors are on and will continue till the official announcement on 14th March in New York. I just read in SAMMobile that the alleged photos I published today morning is from Galaxy S IV Duos, the dual SIM variant for Chinese operator “Unicorn”.

The Galaxy S IV is rumoured to feature an Exynos 5 (5410) Octa CPU, PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU, 4.99″ Full HD AMOLED Display, 2GB of RAM, 13 Megapixel Rear facing Camera capable of shooting 1080p Full HD Videos at 30FPS, 2 Megapixel front facing camera capable of shooting 1080p HD Videos and run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box.

Samsung released a game called “Unicorn Apocalypse” in Google play store and guess what, it got the worst feedback. Particularly in the U.S. Samsung is currently trying to conquer the B2B market. As the trend goes to BYOD (“bring your own device”), are special SAFE devices with encryption chip to be the solution for businesses because employees will no longer need two devices more.

Samsung advertises the SAFE appliances with a fictitious company, which brings the total price match suspicious “Unicorn Apocalypse” on the market and, of course, need to provide sufficient protection for employees. During these commercials Samsung USA has launched a competition to have the game program from advertising. The result is an app that now - - only in the U.S. has landed in the Google Play Store . Poor 2 star clears the app and actually looks like the gameplay, as programmed in five days to dust off for a prize money of Samsung.

Here are some reviews from users:

• After about a minute of gameplay, you fall off the edge and there’s just fire. You still collect points, but the unicorn isn’t on the screen.
• If you’re going to make a series of commercials and then release the game they advertise, you have to know significant quality is expected. This game is nothing more than another poor ripoff of Robot Unicorn Attack.
• The game has terrible lag and a rip off of rainbow unicorn, you would expect better quality for a game that has ben advertised on commercials

Samsung Galaxy S IV announcement date is just 3 days away but still there are no real leak of the next Samsung flagship Android phone. But now I got hold of the some images which may be the next big thing. These images are posted in a Chinese forum and looks like SIM locked version of Galaxy S IV for Chinese market. Visually the phone look like something in between Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II. The benchmark tool AnTuTu shows on the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9502 IV one Exynos 5410 Octa and a Full HD display.

If these images are proved to be true we are looking at the real unreleased Galaxy S IV.

Samsung Galaxy S IV will use Qi Wireless Charging Technology. However, the Galaxy S IV may not come with embedded wireless charging capability. Instead, users are required to buy replacement back covers for their smartphone for access to a charging pad.

Galaxy S IV will be announced on 14th March in New York. The Galaxy S IV is rumored to feature an Exynos 5 Octa (8-Core) CPU, Mali-T678 (8-Core) GPU, 4.99″ SuperAMOLED Full HD Resolution Display, 2GB of RAM, 13 Megapixel Rear facing Camera capable of shooting 1080p Full HD Videos at 30FPS, 2 Megapixel front facing camera capable of shooting 720p HD Videos and run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy S IV lunch event is not too far away and Samsung already started putting big banners at Times Square. The colors of the poster definitely tells that Galaxy S IV is definitely coming in black and white.

As I said earlier Galaxy S IV will be announced on March 14th 2013.

Samsung added user manual for their next mirrorless camera on official website. NEX1100 will carry almost identical spec as it’s predecessor. here’s still a 20.3-megapixel sensor, an ISO 12,800 sensitivity limit, a 3-inch LCD and 802.11n WiFi. Software also looks similar on the surface. As long as the manuals aren’t just placeholders, then, the improvements are likely tougher to quantify.

When everyone is talking about Samsung Galaxy S IV, Korean Times moved a step ahead and leaked some details on Galaxy Note III. According to Korean Times Galaxy Note III will have 5.9″ screen and will be announced at IFA 2013.

Note II will have an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen. The processor will be same as rumored Galaxy S IV which is Exynos octa-core. But it’s unlikely that the company will use flexible display technology as its display-making affiliate ― Samsung Display ― is having difficulty coping with demand.

With 2289 patents Samsung tops the list of applications filing at European Patent Office. The top five companies overall were Samsung, Siemens, BASF, General Electric, and LG.

The top five countries for filings in 2012 were: the United States (24.6 per cent), Japan (20.1 per cent), Germany (13.3 per cent), China (7.3 per cent), and South Korea (5.6 per cent). The top from Europe after Germany were: France (4.7 per cent), Switzerland (3.2 per cent), the United Kingdom (2.6 per cent) and the Netherlands (2.5 per cent).

Yesterday there were some big buzz about Samsung Galaxy S IV latest smart features, Smart Scroll and Smart Pause. Though no one confirmed officially about existence of these features till now, but I am pretty sure these two will be part of next Galaxy super-phone. I got hold of a new screenshot of Samsung Galaxy s IV setting screen, which clearly shows that Samsung is in fact bringing smart scroll and smart pause to Galaxy S IV.

Like the earlier leaks these images may be fake. But let’s wait and watch every move from Samsung.
