Samsung's Galaxy S III is, without a shadow of doubt, the most eagerly-anticipated Android smartphone release of this year. With 1080p full HD visuals, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and a revamped ceramic encasing reckoned to be amongst the new features – it's hardly difficult to see why.
It will be the successor to the Galaxy S II, which recently won the coveted 'Best Smartphone' award at MWC 2012 – an achievement which only increases the pressure on Samsung to deliver the goods with the next iteration.
In terms of an ETA, the last we heard, South African carriers had seemingly confirmed a Q3 release, in spite of earlier speculation that the device would drop a great deal prior to that – in April of this year. Fresh reports surfacing today, though, appear to reignite the April flame, with ZDNet Korea claiming to have confirmed the time frame with Samsung's marketing and advertising agency, Cheil Worldwide.
According to the report, the Korean LCD specialist has pinpointed London as a key initial area to launch and market the product, which makes sense given that the Olympic Games will be hosted there in the summer.
A Samsung Electronics public relations official refused to confirm or deny the date, but with arch-nemesis Apple allegedly plotting its iPhone 5 device in time for WWDC'12, Samsung will be looking to make a good early impression on consumers, while also taking the opportunity to poach some Apple devotees too impatient to wait for the Cupertino's smartphone release.
 With Android chief Andy Rubin boasting of 850,000 daily activations of Google's mobile OS, the importance of the Galaxy S III cannot be stressed enough. If the Big G is to continue the exponential growth pattern of the last year, the device will need to be not only equal to, but better than the very successful S II.
With Android Jelly Bean 5.0 seemingly stalking a Fall release, the earlier-than-predicted S III drop will also provide Ice Cream Sandwich with a much-needed boost. Currently, the reach of Google's latest and greatest Android iteration is estimated at 1%, but the Galaxy S III would increase that portion a great deal if it were to be released next month. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
We have recently brought some news regarding the Samsung Galaxy S III handset, which was originally set to be announced and shown off at this year's Mobile World Congress which is happening in Barcelona as we speak. However, Samsung decided not to showcase the new handset at the MWC, instead opting to delay the announcement amid rumors that they wanted to unify a global launch date for the device which could happen in as many as fifty countries or cities in one go.
Regardless of how Samsung decide to play it, we have it on good authority that it could be launched on various South African networks as soon as June of this year, but the guys over at BGR have published details of the technical specifications of the device to keep those Samsung and Android fans happy in the interim. The detailed specifications paint quite a promising picture, looking likely to have Android fans salivating and could even convince a few die hards from other mobile operating systems to jump ship and give the S III a try.
what does Samsung have in store for us smartphone fans? Check out the details below, but be prepared to salivate:
- 4.8 inch, full HD 1080P resolution display with 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor.
- A front facing, 2 megapixel camera for video calling as well as an 8 megapixel rear camera.
- A brand new ceramic case as has previously been reported.
- 4G LTE connectivity.
- Pre-installed with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
As you can see, it makes for pretty impressive reading, meaning that the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone will most definitely make a huge impact when released and will more than likely provide some impressive sales figures for Samsung come the second half of the financial year. The inclusion of a full high-definition display on a smartphone of this caliber is a very exciting prospect and will take mobile media to a whole new level.
We had already been aware that the device could feature an all-ceramic rear casing, which is a very interesting choice of materials, but one of the issues with the S II handset was the fact that it didn't feel high 'quality' to the touch, which is sure to be eradicated with this new design of the S III smartphone. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
