Samsung Galaxy S4 to launch on March 14th

Samsung’s MWC booth has been handing out paper invitations to its Galaxy S4 New York launch event.

Confirming earlier rumours that the firm’s new flagship smartphone was set for a March announcement, the invites reveal that the event will take place at 7PM ET at Radio City Music Hall in NYC.

"We introduced the Galaxy S III in London last year, and this time we changed the venue (to New York)… as we were bombarded with requests from U.S. mobile carriers to unveil the Galaxy S IV in the country," said Samsung Electronics’ mobile division chief JK Shin.

Although no specs have been officially announced yet, rumours indicate that the smartphone will pack an Exynos 5 8-core processor, a 4.9-inch full HD screen, 2GB of RAM, 13MP camera, and Android 4.2.2.
