With just one day left until the launch event for Samsung's Galaxy S IV on Thursday, photos and video footage of the smartphone have inevitably found their way on the Internet.

Interesting enough, one of the early leaks actually came from Samsung itself, as the tech company took to Twitter to post one of the pictures three days prior to the official unveiling of the Galaxy S IV.

The extremely dark photo put up on March 11 had the following message written below it:

"The countdown for #The NextBigThing has begun. Who's ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?"

Huffington Post reported that the respective information had initially led most experts to jump to conclusions that it was indeed the Galaxy S IV, though there isn't any clear-cut proof that it isn't just the Galaxy S III phone shown.

Some of the main attributes that Samsung is expected to be rolling out for the GS4 is a larger 4.99-inch display, faster 1.8 GHz quad-core processor and a feature that allows users to scroll through webpages by simply using just his or her eyes.

The device should also be equipped with 2GB RAM and Android Jelly Bean 4.2 along with Samsung's Touch Wiz software.

The rear camera on the future Samsung device is set to receive an upgrade to 13 megapixels from 8 megapixels.

In terms of design, the phone is slated to appear strikingly similar to the Galaxy S III.

Samsung's Galaxy S IV is set to be revealed at Samsung Unpacked at 7pm EST on March 14 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.  CLICK HERE to watch the tech event via free live stream.
