Samsung Galaxy IV launched, focuses on software and functionality

Samsung launched its anticipated flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S IV. Looking very much like the Samsung Galaxy S III, the new device features a larger 5-inch AMOLED screen, a thinner, lighter (130g) and (7.9mm) profile which Samsung says is more durable than the previous version. Mention of Google or even Android was missing from Samsung's song and dance packed launch in New York today but many of the Galaxy S IV key features are software based. Some outstanding features include a 13 Megapixel camera which can be used simultaneously with the 2 Megapixel front facing cameras. 

The Samsung GALAXY S 4 will be available Q2 in Canada from Bell, Eastlink, Fido, Koodoo, Mobilicity, Rogers, Sasktel, TELUS, Videotron, Virgin Mobile and Wind Mobile and their authorized channels. Further details will be released closer to Canadian availability. Hit jump for the official press release.

LG snipes Samsung on Galaxy IV launch date, shows it has a sense of humour

While Samsung is attempting to 'take the fight to Apple by launching a product in their backyard,' with tonight's launch event. LG has seen an opportunity to dump on Samsung's pomp and pageantry by dropping a billboard right on top of Samsung's own billboard. Samsung's ad screams "Be ready 4 the next Galaxy," and LG's right above says "LG Optimus G is here 4 you now!" LG even matches Samsung's colour scheme of black and white panels.
