Samsung is expected to announce its newest handset, the Galaxy S4, on an event Thursday, March 14. The company leaked a picture of a handset in shadow this morning on Twitter with the update, “The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun. Who’s ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?” Rumors surrounding the phone claim it has a 1080p display, features an an eight-core processor, a 13-megapixel camera, 360-degree photo capability, wireless charging capabilities, and a “floating touch” display, allowing the phone to be controlled without touching the display. It has also been suggested that the handset will scroll the screen based on user eye-movement. We’re not sure how well that would work out, given our eyes are always wandering.
Samsung’s Next Big Thing Event will take place this Thursday, March 14 at 7 p.m. in New York City.
