At MWC 2013, Samsung has confirmed that its next generation flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S IV, will be unveiled at an event on March 14, as recently rumoured. We think that Samsung will also showcase the Note III at the event, though there has been no confirmation on this.

In terms of specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S IV is expected to have a 5-inch display with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution. At CES 2013, Samsung unveiled an octa-core Exynos processor. The new processor may not be on the Samsung Galaxy S IV but it is expected to power the Note III. 

Other expected specs of the Samsung Galaxy S IV include 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera and a front facing camera for video calling. Rumours on the Internet also suggest that the device will also support the S Pen, a feature only supported by the Note series of devices. Other rumours on the Internet suggest that the S IV will also support wireless charging. A compatible charging dock will be sold separately. This doesn’t seem like a farfetched feature as it is already implemented in devices such as the LG Nexus 4 and the Nokia Lumia 920. 

Some leaked images suggest that the S IV will forgo the traditional home button below the display where as others suggest that it will have the same button placement as the S III. This however will be settled once the device is unveiled. We have also seen some sample images that have been clicked from the device leak online.
