Samsung Galaxy S IV will be released in April 2013

Thursday, January 31, 2013


Samsung Galaxy IV, the rumored next flagship of the South Korean giant might actually launch in the month of April according to a couple of images from an internal raffle doc at a New Zealand mobile retailer.

The raffle doc states that all the prize winners will be given a Samsung Galaxy S IV smartphone. The raffle ends on April 9, so we imagine the prizes should be delivered shortly after.
If the raffle details are to be trusted, Samsung's latest smartphone will be launched in the month of April. This aligns nicely with previous rumors pointing to an announcement in March and launch in the third week of April.
Since Samsung won't be bringing the Galaxy S IV to the upcoming MWC such a strategy would make sense so the company doesn't lag behind its rivals, who will all have 1080p smartphones by April. Then again the Galaxy S III is still selling pretty well, so maybe there's no point in Samsung rushing things up.
