Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android-based Galaxy S IV smartphone is expected to be launched alongside a mini flavor, which might arrive on shelves starting with May, it seems.

No official info on the matter has emerged so far, but the guys over at SamMobile have it under good authority that the smartphone will be brought to shelves starting with week 21.

The handset is said to have been included in Samsung’s project J under the codename of Fortius, though specific details on it are not available for the time being.

Chances are, however, that Samsung would announce the device at the same Unpacked Event as Galaxy S IV, or soon after.

It also remains to be seen whether it will indeed be called Galaxy S IV mini (as Galaxy S III’s smaller flavor), or if Samsung will adopt an entirely new name for it.
