Samsung’s new GALAXY S 4 smartphone has been officially unveiled only several hours ago, but it seems that users are greatly attracted to it, at least in the UK.

According to online retailer Phones 4U, pre-registrations for the new mobile phone in the first 48 hours of availability have already surpassed those of Galaxy S III, TechRadar reports.

“The anticipation surrounding the next Samsung Galaxy has been astounding and it has already received the most pre-registrations as Phones 4U of any other smartphone launch in 2013,” Scott Hooton, chief commercial officer at Phones 4U, said.

The retailer is looking forward to bringing the new device to shelves in the UK, a move set to happen on April 26, it seems. The company expects for GALAXY S 4 to prove the biggest seller of the year.
