It's finally here, the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S4! Watch the live stream event here at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
Plenty of rumors have been flying around lately, and the speculation can finally come to a halt. The latest rumors say to expect the Galaxy S IV to feature a 4.99-inch Full HD AMOLED display, a 13 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video and come with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
In Europe, the Galaxy S IV should have an eight-core Exynos 5 Octa processor developed in-house by Samsung. The American models will likely get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 instead. All models will have 2 GB of RAM.
The display may be an environmentally friendly phosphorescent AMOLED that reduces power consumption by 25 percent and extends battery life.
While early rumors said the S IV would feature eye-scrolling tech, which scrolls text when your eye reaches the bottom of the screen, it sounds like that won't be on the S IV right now, though Smart Pause will stop video playback when you look away.
The S IV should also have "floating touch" tech that opens a preview when a user hovers a finger over text or an object on the screen.
The body will be made of plastic, like its predecessor the Galaxy S III, though it could have aluminum strips on the edges. The battery cover will be removable, but built-in wireless charging won't be included.
The Galaxy S III came in white or pebble blue, but it sounds like the S IV will have more color options, judging from the cheesy "Jeremy" videos the company has been producing.
Internal storage will vary from 16 GB to 64 GB, and an SD card slot is very likely.
As for the rest, we'll all need to wait and watch tonight!
Release dates for various United States carriers that will likely be working with the S4 such as Sprint, AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile will likely follow days or even weeks after the device is unveiled tonight.
