The latest release date follows the line of previous reports that Samsung planned on launching the Galaxy S4 sometime between April 15 and April 22, according to Geeky-Gadgets.
The Samsung hype has also led to the latest unofficial rendering for the Galaxy S4 which showed off how the how well the metal design could look.
The image rendering was first published by Android Community which presented the Galaxy S4 as a total departure from the plastic-built of its predecessor.
