Today's going to be a big day. Samsung is set to take the stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York to unveil the next Galaxy S device, presumably named the Samsung Galaxy S IV. What looks to be an evolutionary update from the Galaxy S III on the surface is just the beginning - should rumors hold up, we're looking at a wealth of software updates, along with a solid specification bump across the board.
We'll be reporting the news as it happens in New York, so keep it locked right here for the latest on Samsung's newest Galaxy!
Now time for a performance from ballerina Stacy, whose dad doesn't have a Galaxy S 4.
