 "Samsung Galaxy S IV will not be launched at CES 2013")
The highly anticipated successor to the Galaxy S III, the Galaxy S IV, will not be released at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013, but instead at an event after CES, a report by CNET states.
It was widely speculated that Samsung would be launching its next flagship smartphone at CES 2013 after the company released a teaser tr ailer that tells the world to get ready for “Something New”. However, it appears that at CES 2013, Samsung will instead focus on televisions and a range of other electronic products, the CNET report stated citing sources. None of these announcements pertain to any significant smartphone news.
Before the teaser trailer came to light, it was rumoured that the Galaxy s IV would be launched after CES 2013 and not at the annual electronics expo, which now turns out to be correct.

Rumours about the Galaxy S IV have been falling like snow did in the Ice Age. If the last rumour about the Samsung Galaxy S IV is to be believed, it may feature an unbreakable screen. In fact, reports suggest that if this is true, it could turn out to be a major selling point of the smartphone—considering the converging form factor.
The South Korean giant has been a popular name in the development of displays. Mark Newman, an analyst with Stanford Bernstein, recently stated that Samsung will eventually go for unbreakable and flexible displays. “Either the Galaxy S IV or S V will have unbreakable and even possibly flexible and foldable displays by 2014. That’s going to be a game-changer.”
UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudois said, “Looking to the first half of 2013, we see evidence of Samsung likely accelerating the release of the Galaxy S IV - compared with May (this year) for the Galaxy S III. We believe preparations for volume manufacturing of unbreakable plastic substrate displays continue. All in all, we could see a strong products push in the high-end in the first half, followed by other releases.”
Interestingly, reports also indicate that the Galaxy S IV will probably have a bigger and better display, quad-core processing power and a
13 megapixel camera, with picture density improving to 441 pixels per inch (ppi), which is a big improvement over the Galaxy S III’s 306 ppi and better than the iPhone 5’s 326 ppi. The Samsung Galaxy S IV is rumoured to be officially announced in April 2013.
For Samsung to use a 13 megapixel camera on its upcoming smartphone, the handset would require more processing power as well as extra RAM, presumably 2 GB. If Samsung does use such a camera on its smartphone, then one would be able to capture images at a resolution of 4208 x 3120 pixels.
Apart from the one about the camera, another rumour states that it will feature a 2.0 GHz quad-core Exynos 5450 processor. It is reported that this chipset will be faster than the one used on the Nexus 10 tablet that was recently introduced by Google; it will be made on a 28 nm process.
