ONE of the world's biggest phone launches is unfolding in New York City this morning, as Samsung has taken over Times Square to broadcast the unveiling of its Galaxy S IV handset and let consumers hold the phone for the first time.
The highly anticipated smartphone is expected to boast features including a larger screen, world-first eight-core processor and a significantly improved camera.
Rumours have also circled about the possibility of eye-tracking Smart Scroll technology and even wireless charging.
Samsung's new smartphone will replace the Galaxy S III, which sold more than 43 million handsets worldwide since its launch last May and outsold Apple's iPhone 4S to become the world's top-selling smartphone in the third quarter of last year.
Apple has since won back the title with its iPhone 5, according to Strategy Analytics.
Samsung will reveal its new phone inside New York's historic Radio City Music Hall this morning, with the conference streamed live to Times Square.
