In the market for a new Android-powered smartphone? If you can stand to wait, we’d suggest you hold out just a little bit longer. According to SamMobile.com, South Korea-based Samsung is going to unveil the next generation in the line of Galaxy phones on March 14. This information stems from a tweet sent by Eldar Murtazin, the founder of Russian telecom website Mobile-Review.

We have to admit, it’s a little strange for Samsung to wait to make this announcement after this year’s Mobile World Congress – we hear they are skipping out on it – which takes place in Barcelona just two weeks prior. But perhaps they don’t want their big announcement to be lost in a sea of mobile innovations.

There isn’t too much news about the Galaxy S4, but as far as appearance, it’s very likely going to have much the same look as the Galaxy S3. The real improvements will be on the guts of the device. Each is expected to have a nearly 5-inch Super AMOLED high definition screen, 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, two megapixel front-facing camera, and will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

We’re not sure where exactly the announcement will be made, but the latest rumor places it at some undisclosed event in New York City.

Samsung just launched a $400 phone in the U.S., and it looks great

A render of the Samsung Galaxy A35.

A little over a month ago, Samsung announced two new entries in its Galaxy A family — the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. Both phones made their way to the U.K. and Europe, but we've been left waiting for a U.S. release. Thankfully, that waiting has now come to an end.

As of April 18, the Galaxy A35 is now available for purchase in the U.S. from Samsung.com, Samsung's retail stores, and at "major carriers and retailers." Regardless of where you buy the phone, it's available in your choice of two colors: Awesome Navy and Awesome Lilac. The starting price is a penny shy of $400, putting it well below the Galaxy S24 that launched earlier this year. Interestingly, the Galaxy A55 is not coming to the U.S. at this time.

The smart ring market has been dominated by the Oura Ring so far, but that is about to change with the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The ring was teased at Samsung's Unpacked event in January and then again at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February.

The Galaxy Ring is expected to come with various health sensors to help you track your physical fitness and daily activities — all with the backing of Samsung Health. It's one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, and this is everything we know about it (so far).
