Another week, another mega Android smartphone release! This time it's Samsung's eagerly awaited [Galaxy S 4](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-galaxy-s-4-preview/). Yes, we've lost the Roman numerals, as their marketing certainly hinted, but otherwise, not a lot has changed. In fact, even we experts, trained in the art of cellphone identification, are going to have a hard time telling the difference between this new Galaxy S and its predecessor from a distance.
