Samsung Electronics is set to unveil its latest smartphone at a high-profile event Thursday evening in New York, where the company has rented New York’s Radio City Music Hall to unveil its Galaxy S IV, expected to hit store shelves in April or May.

The smartphone, the successor to the wildly popular Galaxy S III, is expected to have an even larger screen than its predecessor, which sports a screen that measures 4.8 inches diagonally, much larger than the 4-inch screen on Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone 5. What’s more, the Galaxy S IV is expected to unveil several novel technologies that make the phone easier to use. For more on that check out the latest news from Engadget.
