Samsung Galaxy S4 Ahead Of Launch: Viral Marketing Hits Time Square

The South Korean electronics giant posted a picture of a dance crew in New York’s Times Square with the instruction “be ready 4 #TheNextGalaxy.” We surely will be, given the repeated warnings from The Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930). The extended pre-release viral marketing campaign might be tiresome to some observers.

The dance crew, dressed in white shoes and suits with the number four printed on the back, appear to have performed in New York earlier today. The group assembled in front of a black box topped by an “unpacked” sign. Removing the device from the box has been the center of the company’s ad campaign thus far.

Today’s dance troupe won’t cause as much speculation as yesterday’s picture, or the ad campaign the company has been teasing bit by bit.

A common rumor suggests that the Galaxy S4 will incorporate eye tracking technology that will allow users to scroll through web pages and select options using only the movement of their eyes. We’ll find out the truth of this and more in the days ahead.

SSamsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) seems confident that the Galaxy S4 can be a real Apple killer. The firm’s last smart phone, the S3, was the first to come near the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone in terms of sales, the Galaxy S4 might confirm the company as the most important in the smart phone world.
