Less than a day ahead of its official unveiling, more leaked images have virtually confirmed the design of the Samsung Galaxy S IV Android phone.
First discovered by US website The Verge, the images published on Chinese website mobile.it168.com are identical to earlier leaked photos of the device and confirm that the Galaxy S IV will retain a very similar look to its predecessor.
The new handset is designed in line with Samsung's Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II smartphones, utilising a similar plastic construction with removable back cover.

The phone appears to have a new pattern etched into the glossy plastic that adorns the front and back, while the side shows a brushed aluminium-style look. The latter appears to be the most significant design change.
The description of the leaked Galaxy S IV confirms it will be powered by a 1.8GHz Exynos 5410 Octa processor and 2GB of RAM, while the 16GB of internal memory will be expandable by a microSD card slot.

The Galaxy S IV will measure 7.7mm thick and weigh 138g. It will come with a 4.99in display with a full HD 1080p resolution and will also have a 13-megapixel camera, an upgrade from the Galaxy S III's 8-megapixel snapper.
The leaked images show a dual-SIM device, but this is likely to be a version specifically for the Chinese market.

The leaked information makes no reference to the rumoured eye scrolling feature but the Galaxy S IV will come with a feature called 'Air View Finger' . This feature will allow users to hover their finger over the screen to preview selected information on the phone, such as a video thumbnail or a calendar entry.
A similar feature is included in Samsung's Galaxy Note II Android phone but only works with the S Pen stylus, not a users' finger.
Samsung will officially unveil the Galaxy S IV on Thursday 14 March (Friday 15 March, Australian time) at a press event in New York.
