Samsung's Project J mini, codenamed Serrano, hints towards a smaller smartphone which would be the Galaxy S4 mini. This isn't exactly an outragious claim since Samsung has launched the Galaxy S3 mini to sit alongside the full size Galaxy S3.
SamMobile says the Galaxy S4 mini uses almost the same accessories as the Galaxy S4 but won't feature wireless charging. It is likely to be a cheaper and lower spec version of Samsung's new flagship smartphone.
The third device is called Project J Active, codenamed Fortius, and hasn't been full decided upon. It will come with accessories including an arm band, bike mount and pounch suggesting it could be a smart watch. Samsung might call it the Galaxy Watch but alternatively it could be a smartphone similar to the Galaxy Xcover 2.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is tipped to feture an Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor, 4.9in Full HD screen, wireless charging, a 13Mp camera and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
It has been suggested that Samsung will announce the handset outside of MWC (Mobile World Congress) on possibly 15 or 22 March. It will then be released and go on sale some time early in April.

Illy said: Interesting idea about the whole Samsung Galaxy Watch thing although I personally dont see why you really need something like that I suppose that it would be a really niche orientated product or is a lot of people buying these types of gadgets each day and I am just simply not aware of thatEither way I also suggest that everyone who wants to learn more about the S4 visits the blog httpsamsung-galaxy-s4-news as this site is quite dedicated to helping you sort rumors from real newsCheers

jock said: I dont think everyone is getting excited by the prospect of an IWatch just those who are ultimately waiting for an IDick
sip said: This sounds like a deliberate leak because everyones getting excited about the possibility of Apple producing the iWatch The SamWatch isnt a certainty just speculation or more like the figment of someones imagination Samsung can design and produce a similar device in a short time so is pre-empting the iWatchMind games
