Samsung is making a big push for its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S IV, and today it released a new teaser video ahead of the March 14 reveal.

The spot (below) features Jeremy, a pint-sized protector of the Galaxy S IV. He's called into the Samsung offices, where an overexcited exec gives Jeremy a quick peak at the new smartphone before instructing him to guard the Galaxy S IV with his life before next Thursday's event.

The teaser suggests that the launch event will feature an apperance by Jeremy, a la Microsoft spokeschild Kylie at the Windows 7 launch. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the dance numbers that often crop up at Samsung events, but we'll find out soon enough.

The video comes as a few more details about the Galaxy S IV are cropping up on the Web. Italian site Androidiani.com on Sunday posted what it claims are benchmark tests from the new device.

The post tips an Exynos 5 Octa chip, which Samsung first debuted during its CES keynote. There's also the expected 4.99-inch HD display, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2.1-megapixel front-facing one. The Galaxy S IV will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, according to the blog.

Last week, there were reports that shoppers could pick from six versions of the Galaxy S IV, including a 64GB model.

Samsung's Galaxy S IV event is scheduled for March 14 at Radio City Music Hall. Those who did not nab an invite can tune in via the livestream; the event will also be broadcast live from Times Square, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern.

PCMag will be there next week, so stay tuned for all the details.
