A photo of what is alleged to be the Galaxy S IV has hit the Web, giving an early look at what might be Samsung's next flagship phone.
SamMobile, a blog about Samsung phones, posted the photo Friday morning. The site says the image comes from its "insider" source at Samsung, though SamMobile says it's not 100% certain that the pictured device is indeed the rumored Galaxy phone.
The phone in the picture looks very similar to the Galaxy S III, which is perhaps the most popular Android phone on the market. The one major differences is the lack of physical buttons on the Galaxy S IV's front side.

Another noticeable difference is that the screen on the Galaxy S IV appears to be larger and closer to the edges of the phone than the one on the Galaxy S III.
SamMobile said its source did not reveal any of the phone's features or specifications, though it does offer a summary of its rumored specs.
The Galaxy S IV is expected to be announced by Samsung some time in early 2013, with some saying it could be unveiled in April.
