The Samsung Galaxy S IV Unveiled on March 14

One of the most anticipated devices of the year was notably absent at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. While many people who would have loved to get a glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy S IV at this year’s Mobile World Congress may have been disappointed, it has now been announced that the wait to see Samsung’s most important mobile device is almost over.



The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled on March 14 at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
This is the first U.S. launch of Samsung’s flagship phone in three years. The Galaxy S III was released last year in London. The move appears to be Samsung’s way of asserting their relevance in their battle with Apple for the mobile market.  While Apple may have the advantage over Samsung Electronics in the U.S. handset market, Samsung is a global giant, with a wide advantage over their rival in global markets. For their part, Samsung Electronics’ mobile division chief JK Shin, stated that Samsung changed the venue for the release to New York due to heavy requests from U.S. mobile carriers.

The device specifications will not be released until the grand unveiling at Radio City Music Hall.  However, there are many rumors about regarding the features of the Galaxy S IV.  The device is thought to have a 4.99’’ full HD screen and a 13-megapixel camera.  For those unfamiliar with the previous version of the Galaxy, those specs include both a higher resolution display and camera than the former version.  The Galaxy S IV is also expected to have a faster quad-core processor.  Rumor has it that it will have an Exynos 5 8-core processor. The device is also expected to run on Android 4.2.2 and have 2GB of RAM. Of course, the official specifications could be different, and we will have to wait to get the full details when the phone is unveiled on March 14.

Samsung Galaxy Note To Receive Jelly Bean 4.1

Samsung Galaxy Note users will soon have access to the Google Android Jelly Bean 4.1 upgrade. A rumor for the update to the first Note Phablet was first mentioned in August but then laid dormant until today.

The new upgrade arrives just as Samsung begins to launch its new premium suite, a software option that aims to improve Google Android functionality. Samsung previously confirmed that its premium suite software would arrive for the Galaxy S III smartphone and the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. By adding the software to the Note the company effectively covers the smartphone, phablet and tablet markets.

A page for the Galaxy Note upgrade was spotted by Engadget and showcases some impressive features. Among new options will be Multi Windows support, the ability to take advantage of pop-up notes, new video support and multiple browser windows.

The premium suite upgrade also brings with it Photo Note and Photo Frame apps, a new cropping system that is suppose to be easier to use and handwriting support on S Planner and the Email client.

The S Note has also been given a larger set of templates and effects and it adds the Paper Artist app which allows for photo editing via the devices S Pen sytlus.

Google Now will be the featured item on the Google Android 4.1 update when it reached users devices.

Samsung has not announced when the Google Android 4.1 upgrade will roll out for Samsung Note users, however because the update relies on wireless carrier support it is likely that some users will receive the update before others.

We expect the Note’s Android 4.1 update to arrive sooner then later as the device continues to age itself out of the market

Will you be making the upgrade to Google Android 4.1 on your Galaxy Note phablet or sticking with your current iteration of Google Android?
