The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the most awaited phone launches of the year and the rumour mill is going crazy as to when we can expect this little gem from Samsung.
It appeared a mistaken leak from the marketing agency for Samsung gave us all hope that we would be seeing the S3 in the UK in April, this has now been hastily denied by said company and it has been confirmed that the launch date will be first announced on Twitter.
The MWC is the typical event for manufacturers to give us their best and brightest but Samsung let everyone know the S3 would not be debuted at the conference. This is a similar strategy that was used on the S2 with the phone going on sale in early April and perhaps due to the staggering success of this, Samsung will repeat the move with their latest flagship device.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Specifications
As with the expected release date, the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S3 have also been the subject of much discussion and rumour. So what can we expect from the phone?
With everyone releasing quad-core handsets at the MWC it would be safe to assume the S3 will be packing a quad-core processor under the hood. Details of a Samsung Exynos 4412 chip were revealed last year so the S3 could be packing this impressive chip.
With Samsung releasing updates for the Samsung Galaxy S2 to Android Ice Cream Sandwich it is highly likely the S3 will be packing Android 4.0.
The screen size is rumoured at around 4.5-inches and with many of the other manufacturers’ super-phones all sporting larger displays this could be true.
The camera is likely to be 8-megapixel in keeping with other similar handset releases, although there was rumour of a 16-megapixel sensor being produced by Samsung’ manufacturing partners so as usual we will have to wait for the official launch.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is almost as highly anticipated as the iPhone 5, and with devout Android fans refusing to go over to the iOS side this is bound to be the super-phone of choice. Could the Samsung Galaxy S3 top the charts for the best smartphone of 2012? It is a sure contender and we will have to see what else Samsung packs into the phone and how many people choose to purchase it.
Once this handset drops from your hands then it will get cracks or physically too much damaged and surely people will not like to hold a big pager like thing rather a comfortable size smartphone. It is too big to handle and carry.
The UI is still the same, very very dull and outdated.
Samsung mobile phones are always very badly designed, they do not carry proper designs and sizes, apart from all other issues.
Samboycott the same could be said about the iphone with its eyewatering screen and easily cracked gorilla glass.
I have the galaxy SII and love it. I will buy the galaxy SII and love it. I will never buy an iphone.
@Sam…
it’s true about the drop fact. But in my opinion Samsung designs their phone in a way that is unique. Take the GS2 for example. It’s slim, light, and has great function. What other issues would there be anyways? besides being made out of durable plastic and your opinion?
Samboycott, sounds like an Apple pleb to me
Surely the outdated UI is one of the main problems Android 4.0 is intended to address? Sounds like an awesome bit of kit. Fingers crossed for the rumored 1080p screen.
Samboycott, you’re talking complete & utter rubbish!
You really think Samsung would make the mistake of making this, its newest flagship handset, too big?
Samsung know what they are doing – that’s why the SII has sold more than 20 million units so far – overtaking the iphone, and is still going strong.
I, for one, can’t wait to get my hands on the SIII.
Lastly, check youtube for the droptest video comparing the S2and iphone – guess which one comes out almost unmarked? The Samsung, whereas the iphone was trashed!
Samboycott u belong with the rest of the little boys running around the same tree eating apples… apple is just another page in the book of history, old and soon to be forgotten especially cuz of ppl like u who are all about self praising and ur apple… give ur apple a pat on the back but not too hard, the screen might BREAK!
