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.

Ordering the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6? Don’t miss this exclusive deal

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, with a red dial.

If you watched Samsung's Unpacked event a couple of days ago, you've seen the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and all their great improvements on the previous generation. Of course, they're both going to cost a pretty penny, but luckily we have an exclusive deal from Samsung that will get you an extra $50 at checkout; you just need to use our link. On top of that, Samsung has its own pre-order bonus, which adds a free fabric band with any purchase, plus you can get up to $250 off with eligible trade-ins.

Why you should pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
The most visible changes to the new lineup of Galaxy Watches are the larger screens across the board, with the smaller frame having a 1.3-inch screen and the larger frame having a 1.5-inch screen. So, whether you go for the Watch 6 40mm, or the 44m Watch 6 Classic, you're still getting the 1.3-inch screen, which makes life a bit easier when picking which watch to go for. Another big bump is in the processing power, with the new Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic sporting the Exynos W930 processor, and Samsung claims it's 18% faster than the Watch 5 processors and will give you an overall snappier performance.

You may be able to get a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 nearly free

Attention students, teachers, and eligible faculty, it may be possible for you to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 for nearly free, thanks to a series of promotions and credits. That's right, at virtually no cost. Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn't, just listen up. You will need some ingenuity, thanks to Samsung's current enhanced trade-in values.

The Z Flip 4 has a trade-in value of $900 currently, which means Samsung will give you that amount in credit to put towards a new device. With the newest Z Flip 5 being priced at $1,000 that essentially eliminates most of the cost. How? Let's do the math. The actual price of the Z Flip 5 is $999.99, so with a Z Flip 4 trade-in, the price drops to $900. Then you can apply the educational discount of 10% off to lose another $10 -- dropping the final price to $90. But here's an even better point, you get a $50 reserve credit with your pre-order which can be used towards accessories. So, if you take advantage of this offer you're potentially paying next to nothing to get the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. How awesome is that? But wait! There's more. You'll also get a free storage upgrade with your pre-order, boosting the storage capacity in your new device, plus you can save on bundles -- getting discounts on the Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Watch6, or Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
