The Galaxy S4 is arguably the most anticipated smartphone for 2013. It will replace the wildly popular Samsung Galaxy S3, which is one of the highest-selling handsets of 2012.

The Galaxy S3 catapulted Samsung to the front of the smartphone world in many markets such as the U.S. The Galaxy S4 is expected to take the company even further.

Strategy Analytics published a report which showed that Samsung accounted for 31.8 percent of smartphone sales in the U.S., beating out Apple, who accounted for 26.2 percent thanks to the Galaxy S3.

However, Apple released its flagship smartphone nearly five months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S3, so the Korean-based company had a slight advantage. The company secured a victory in the fourth quarter of 2012 having 34 percent market share overall, with Samsung trailing with 32.3 percent.

This data is a compiled using the total smartphone sales of both companies that includes all iPhone models and Samsung handsets.
