A new rumour is saying that Samsung's fourth generation Galaxy S smartphone is getting a March 15 launch date, with retail availability kicking off in Europe first a few weeks later.

While Samsung has yet to confirm such an event on that date, an unnamed "trusted insider" has spilled the beans on the company's internal launch plans for the S4. If this is true, it means Samsung is likely to skip launching the smartphone at Mobile World Congress later this month, instead choosing to focus on its own solo event.

However, you may have to wait just a bit longer than mid-March to actually get your hands on the Galaxy S4, rumoured to be powered by an eight-core Exynos 5 Octa processor with Mali-T658 GPU. Report claims the Korean manufacturer will first roll the handset out across Europe in early April, followed by Asia later in the month and continuing on to America, Australia and Africa in May and June.

Samsung's next-generation handset is said to come in black or white, sporting a 4.99-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display, 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera for 1080p video at 30fps and a 2MP front-facing camera capable of shooting 720p HD videos.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is expected to arrive running the current Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1, rather than a newer 4.2.2 update Google is reportedly rolling out soon.
