First Supposed to be Photo of The Samsung S4

The first photo of what is claimed to be Samsung Electronics' next flagship smartphone emerged on the Internet on Friday. The S 4 is expected to be announced on March 4, 2013. 

An insider from Samsung reportedly sent an image of a press photo to SamMobile website. The photo has been taken from a camera. As you can see the S4 will be nearly similar to the Galaxy S3 but without the "home" button on the bottom of the phone.

Previously Samsung changed the design of their S models from generation to generaion, therefore it is a surprise that the S IV is nearly similar to the S3. 

The website also shares possible launch date of the S4 based on another photo sent in by a reader: Since the rumours about Samsung’s intention to roll-out its next-gen flagship are pretty widespread these days, the March announcement seems to make sense.

Back in November it was reported that Samsung Display, a producer of display panels that belongs to Samsung, is in the last phase of development of flexible displays for mobile devices, which are expected to be released in the first half of next year. Bendable displays are virtually unbreakable and naturally provide a lot of opportunities when it comes to creation of innovation shapes of smartphone.
