Samsung Galaxy S IV Rumors Swirl

Samsung Galaxy S IV Rumors Swirl

Samsung is doing quite well for itself at the moment with the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, but that doesn't mean the Korean phone maker isn't working on the next big thing.

According to various reports, we might get a glimpse of Samsung's next smartphone as early as January's CES or February's Mobile World Congress. According to a Korean newspaper, the phone - the Samsung Galaxy IV - will feature a high-def, 4.99-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 display. That would mean a 445 ppi, up from the 306 ppi on the Galaxy S III.

GSM Arena, meanwhile, said the device could sport a 13-megapixel camera. Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the South Korean company in September dismissed reports of a followup to this year's flagship Galaxy S III smartphone (pictured).

When we might see the Galaxy S IV is anyone's guess. Recently, Samsung has unveiled its newest smartphones at overseas events. The Galaxy S III $179.99 at Amazon Wireless made its debut in May in London, while the Galaxy Note II was announced at IFA in Berlin several months ago. As a result, an unveiling at MWC in Barcelona rather than CES in Las Vegas might make more sense, but we'll have to wait and see. Might the new Galaxy smartphone face competition from HTC's Droid DNA? The smartphone, released earlier this month, sports a 5-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 display. Its Super LCD 3 display is coated with Gorilla Glass 2, with a 443 pixel-per-inch resolution
