Samsung expected to unveil Galaxy S IV on March 14
Last month we heard rumors that the Galaxy S IV would be launching on April 15 and that we could expect to see an announcement sometime in March during one of the company’s Mobile Unpacked events. That intelligence still looks solid as we are now hearing that Samsung is planning to unveil their next flagship smartphone on March 14.
Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-review published a tweet earlier today saying there would be a big announcement on March 14. The message also suggested that HTC will again miss out on sales of their HTC One series device like they did in 2012. Shortly after, SamMobile and The Verge both confirmed that March 14 is most certainly the day we will see the Galaxy S IV debut.
HTC is hosting a media event in New York City tomorrow where most expect the company to introduce the HTC One. A debut next month from Samsung would come just a few weeks after this month’s Mobile World Congress – a move that could give them more media attention at a time when many might have already forgotten what was unveiled weeks earlier.
We have nothing solid to go on in terms of specifications as Samsung is keeping the new handset under close watch but at least one publication suggests we will see a 5-inch device with a 1,920 x 1,080 display powered by an unnamed quad-core processor with 2GB of system memory on tap. Others, however, believe we could see an ARM-based processor with no fewer than eight cores clocked at up to 2GHz.

This is the phone I want to buy. So I really hope it comes with all the features ?leaked? as wireless charging, flexible display and a higher capacity battery.
But for some reason a doubt has started to rise in me that at this speed of releasing or ?pushing? the new hardware out there is NO opportunity left for slotting in so many innovations.
Or may be Samsung is thinking it is NOT worth releasing so many features in one model saving them for later.

These phones are released so often because there are people (like myself) who have recently had their contract expire and who are in the market for a new phone. And there are still people who don't have smart phones at all, who will be impressed by the new phones they'll see on commercials.
They are not releasing this phone with the expectation that the primary buyer will be SG3 owners. Buying every iteration of a model is an Apple phenomenon.

@ghasmanjrwhat im talking about is having your entire desktop for work and everything with you on your phone. Just plug it into the dock and youre done. All your pictures, documents, emails, etc. Ubuntu on S4 + Google Apps = perfect office unless you have stuff that is winonly, then tinkering must be done cough wine cough
Now THIS would be freaking awesome if it was that easy. Phone dock to turn your phone into a PC box... this would make me buy it. If Ubuntu could pull this off smoothly, I think finally they would become a major player in the "desktop" arena.

The hardware still has a long way to go (that's not even mentioning the software optimisations). As long as the phone's aren't super-fluid, there's room for improvement.
Heck, the coveted iPhone5 with it's proprietary iOS still lags on basic OS tasks.
Time is money. Time spent waiting on your phone is time lost.

Games like Infinity Blade are really demanding.
the current CPU can run infinity blade just fine though.
