The latest rumour around the Samsung Galaxy S IV comes from the Korean DDaily. The report states that Samsung's upcoming flagship device will not have an S-Pen and the home button with other touch keys will still be on the phone.

The report quotes industry sources, and adds that while the smartphone will have a "Non-contact Gesture" feature, this detail may have been misunderstood for the "S-Pen Feature" in the device. The report also adds that production has begun for the smartphone.

Other reported features of the device, part of codenamed Project J, include a 4.99 inch Super AMOLED Full HD Resolution Display screen with 441 pixels per inch (ppi). The device is also likely to come with a Exynos 5 Octa (8-Core) CPU, Mali-T658 (8-Core) GPU for Graphics. Samsung showed Exynos processor at CES this year.

The smartphone could also come with Wireless charging. According to reports in Korean newspaper DDaily, Samsung will be selling a wireless charging pad and a dock with the S IV. Currently Nokia's Lumia devices are the only ones that offer the option of wireless charging.

But it seems Samsung won't just be launching one phone on 15 March ( the rumoured date for the launch). According to SamMobile, Project J includes a Samsung Galaxy S IV mini and a device that could be a smart watch.

The report on SamMobile reads, The Project J line by Samsung is based on 3 devices where just 2 are confirmed and one still needs to get decided! The other 2 devices by Samsung is the Project J Mini which uses the codename Serrano. The Poject J mini Serrano simple hints to the Galaxy S IV mini. This device uses almost the same accessories as the Galaxy S IV only this device can't use the wireless charing dock. The third device could be Samsung's answer on Apple's rumoured iWatch. 

The Galaxy S IV is slated for a mid-March release and could be available to India fans by April.
