We'd already heard from our sources that Samsung would reveal the Galaxy S III's successor at an event on March 14th, and now it's official. In comments made at Mobile World Congress 2013 and reported by Edaily, mobile chief JK Shin has said that the Galaxy S 4 will indeed be shown off for the first time at a Samsung Unpacked event in New York City. It'll be the first time a flagship Samsung smartphone has been unveiled in the US since the original Galaxy S back in 2010. While we don't know much about the phone itself yet beyond rumors of a 5-inch 1080p display, this is certainly a date to mark in the calendar.
Update: Samsung has tweeted out a teaser for the show, which will be livestreamed at 7PM ET. The tagline "Ready 4 the show?" would seem to suggest that Samsung isn't looking to shake up the naming convention of its flagship series too much.

Wishing the S4 will come with key lime pie.

Considering it will be announced around two months before 5.0 will, I have my doubts…

Android Key Lim Pie will come come with key lime pie? Mind=blown.

Why is everyone on the internet completely incapable of detecting sarcasm?
By ScubaDiver on 02.25.13 12:34am
If that was sarcasm, I am more worried about people on the internet not having good humor. Or any humor, for that matter.
By Hans Pedersen on 02.25.13 12:37am
That too. It should be the new captcha. “Tell a joke”

because 90% of communication is not the words used. Body language, intonation, speed, pitch, rhythm, and many other things go into everything you say in person. When you go online, you only get the words which means you’ve lost most of the clues to meaning.

Text alone actually only accounts for 7% of communication. So heck yea its hard to detect sarcasm without a “/s” at the end of it.

Write better.
By hermex on 02.25.13 2:15pm
doesn’t matter how good you can write, you’re only accounting for less than a quarter of what humans normally need to understand communication.
Comprehend better though, you need that.

Hermex – I love the beer you’re repping in your avatar.
For those who don’t know: Hitachino Nest Beer. Some Bevmo stores have them, some don’t. You’re welcome.

Let’s not make assumptions. Just last year people were complaining how the Galaxy Nexus wasn’t getting the upgrades fast enough, even with Android 5.0 just around the corner for a summer release. We got no such thing. Android 4.4 might as well be the one to make an appearance, no?
By Artstate on 02.25.13 12:29am
Of course there is a possibility of another minor update, but I personally think that this is unlikely.
By Hans Pedersen on 02.25.13 12:33am
Don’t you mean key lime pi?
By MysticLeviathan on 02.25.13 3:36am
Would rather have Key Lime Tau……
By SRPuffinstuff on 02.27.13 3:44pm
I agree wholeheartedly. When and if they come out with something beautiful and awesome I’m all for it.
By rudolphe on 02.25.13 10:37am
Motorola should have its day, in May. Go XPhone!
By matt.hickman1 on 02.25.13 1:34pm
I know… Trying not to get my hopes up though.
By maroonmushroom on 02.25.13 3:36pm
moto was never a bigfish in this android game, their hardware sucks.
