Will Samsung Unveil the Galaxy S III at March 30th Phones 4U Event? Probably Not

Well what have we here? It looks like Samsung has a some sort of event planned next week at the flagship Phones 4U store in London. Pictures taken by a passerby show that something is going to happen on the 30th of March but other than that it’s a complete mystery. Could this be a sign that the Galaxy S III is merely only a week away? Or is it something else? The store in which this display is located is actually the flagship shop in which Samsung chose to exclusively sell the Galaxy Nexus at launch… Coincidence? It seems rather unlikely for the retailer to make such a big fuss and include a date if it was only going to be an announcement of some kind but it surely isn’t the GSIII is it? Thankfully it’s only a wait of seven days before we know exactly what the heck is going on.

What are your thoughts? Do you think it’s time for the GSIII to see the light of day, or is it too soon? Let us know in the comments below and as always, we will fill you in if we learn anything new.

Rumored Samsung Galaxy S III Press Render Photo Surfaces

Boy, it seems like the Samsung Galaxy S III leaks just keep pouring out today, doesn’t it? We just heard some news earlier highlighting Samsung may introduce the Galaxy S III sometime next month, but now we have more juicy info to share with you all. As you can see in the screenshot above, another alleged official rendering of the upcoming smartphone has been leaked out and as you can see, it sure is a beauty. One thing you’ll notice right away from the latest leaked render of the device includes only 3 capacative buttons including the Home button being featured in the middle, which seems to fall in line with another leaked renderings we’d seen earlier in the week… and the week before that. So much for the smartphone having an all-screen display as we’d previously seen before.

Complimenting the leaked rendering are the latest leaked internal specifications of the device. For starters, there is a 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED Plus screen with 720p resolution in a thin profile— 8mm of total thickness. Also, rumor has it there will be a a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a 12 megapixel camera with full 1080p capable of recording at 60fps along with a 1,750mAh battery.

Keep in mind this is still speculation, so the rendering and subsequent specs may be incorrect. But you have to admit, this latest rumor sure does give a strong indication of what we can expect from the ultra-hyped smartphone, doesn’t it?

Samsung may announce the Galaxy S III in April

Over the weekend rumors started that Samsung would announce the Galaxy S III at the Unpacked event in London on May 22, but we have an interesting comment from Kim Young-ha, Chief Executive of Samsung Electronics China. He was speaking at the Samsung Forum 2012 in Beijing, China about marketing strategies. There is one quote in particular that Android fans will care about:

In order to increase sales of the Galaxy S III as well as the Galaxy Note which is already very popular in China, the company is considering rescheduling the rollout of the Galaxy S III from May to April.

I say if the phone is ready, go ahead an get this bad boy released, but I’m far from a marketing genius. Until then I guess we have to enjoy all the fake renders that keep popping up every few hours.

Samsung’s Galaxy S III To Come Standard With Wireless Charging?

News of the Samsung Galaxy S III continues to break ground and just when you thought there’s nothing else that can top what we’ve already heard about the device, it looks like Sammy wants to add on to the wow factor.  According to Korean publication DDaily, they’re reporting that the new device will open the doorway for the introduction of standard built-in inductive charging.  There are currently a few ways out there that will allow you to wirelessly charge your smartphone but they often involve crazy hacks and some slight risk in damaging your device.  However, the Galaxy S III will support the feature right out of the box.  And while this isn’t new, recall several webOS devices by Palm a couple of years back used wireless charging, this could be a break in the industry for other manufacturers to follow suit.

According to several sources, Samsung’s device will work even when the device isn’t physically attached to the charger surface.  There’s a one to two meter distance allowance which means the device can still charge while near or next to the surface.  Samsung will most likely use their own proprietary patented tech method instead of the Fulton eCoupled method intro’d at CES.  We’re still digging to see if the charging surface will be included in the box when the device is released or if it will cost extra to purchase as an accessory.  I’m leaning towards the latter but if Sammy wants to deliver a huge smack to Apple’s face, that would sure be a killer add-on right out of the box.

[Leak] Oh Wait, Maybe This is the Samsung Galaxy S III?

It’s time to throw yet another Galaxy S III leak/rumor on the ever growing pile of back-fence talk. This most recent image was supposedly leaked by a “respectable” (aka untrustworthy) Samsung employee who decided to share it with one of his good buddies. That good buddy then decided to share it with his good buddies on the world of Reddit which brings us to where we are now, buddies! According to the person who obtained this image there is even a little BS back story to go along with it:

I am using a throwaway and I’m not going to disclose ANY information about his job because it could jeopardize it. He sent me this picture (I know, he shouldn’t have used the flash but i guess we will take what we can get). Ok he gave me some specs as well. He said that it will possibly have two optional launchers, ICS with touchwiz overlay and vanilla ICS. They aren’t 100 percent sure if they will stick with touchwiz or have the dual launcher option. If they go dual, you will have the option of picking which one to use at startup, and you can change any time. He said it has a 4.7 inch screen that nearly takes up the whole phone, but some bezel space was needed for the camera, , speakers, mic, and so cases would fit on it. He said it WILL be HD and have a ceramic “micro arc oxidation” back.

He said the processor is a quad core exynos (spelling?) 4412. The screen is Super Amoled Plus with HD. The camera is a 12 megapixel with flash. 2 gigs of ram. And it is exactly 8 millimeters thick, and no bump this time around, just “smooth”. 2250 milla-amp/hour battery, but no wireless charging.

So what do you think? Real, fake? One thing that’s interesting is that it looks awfully similar to the ‘press render’ that was leaked by Edgar Murtazin, and its black version seen last week. At this point I really don’t know what to think but I was kinda starting to like the looks of yesterday’s ‘leaked’ GSIII over this one. This phone surely will not sit well with Apple and their desire to sue over the likeness to iProducts. I think Sammy would have learned their lesson by now. Thoughts?

[Leak] Another possible Galaxy S III press shot surfaces

The Galaxy S III has got to be the most anticipated phone right now. Remember the buzz for the Galaxy Nexus? Well things are heading in that direction all over again because it seems like every day brings a new rumor or leak. The latest one comes from Reddit which is a supposed press shot. This pic above is actually a brightened version of the original leak, which you can see by heading to the first source link below.

Lets first look at what this image shows us. It’s pretty thin, which is obviously what everyone is expecting anyway, but in looking at the side image (to the left), it appears that it has an elevated greyish/silver bezel to protect the screen. Speaking of the bezel, there really isn’t much of one. It appears to have a large speaker at the bottom which suggests stereo sound, and it also has a dedicated camera button. You will also notice the main front home button which suggests this would be the international version, but there could also be capacitive buttons to either side that are unlit.

Anonymous User Takes Generic Photo With Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III Smartphone

In yet the latest chapter of the Samsung i-9300 saga, an image has appeared highlighting what is possibly the upcoming phone’s camera features… which may be lackluster to say the least. An anonymous individual casually snapped an image of his or her desk using supposedly the Galaxy S III’s camera which shows this EXIF data as the end result. Considering the device the device has an 8.1MP camera, it’s quite possible the person who took the photo either has some unsteady hands or was perhaps fiddling with the camera features a little too much.

Yes this photo is not impressive, but let’s hope we have more photos taken from the phone’s 8.1MP camera which will truly highlight its potential.

Is this the Samsung Galaxy S III?

It wouldn’t be a normal day here at TalkAndroid without a Samsung Galaxy S III rumour to ponder over. Earlier today we brought you the rumour that the design was finalised and headed to production, well now we may just have a sneak peak at what the device will look like. An anonymous tipster posted the above image to the web and has sparked a series of debates across the tech world.

My first thoughts are that this looks awfully like a photoshopped Galaxy S II. The front face of the device looks pretty much identical aside from the ICS on-screen navigation buttons in place of the usual physical home button and capacitive buttons combo. I would like to believe that Samsung will be a little more imaginative with the design and I’ll personally be filing this particular rumour as ‘unlikely’

The Samsung Galaxy S III is probably the most highly anticipated Android phone of all time and as the summer draws closer the hype is hitting fever-pitch. Brace yourself folks as I suspect there will be plenty more speculation to follow in the coming weeks. The one thing I can say with confidence is that when the Galaxy S III finally does arrive, it will have been worth the wait.

Samsung Galaxy S III Design Is Official And Ready According To Source

Looks like we’re getting more juicy details for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone. While we previously reported the device would feature a ceramic body instead of the usual plastic we’ve become accustomed to on the GSI and GSII phones, there are new reports the device will not only highlight a ceramic body— but the final design of the GSIII smartphone is complete, which indicates the phone is all set for production. This is already on top of the mouth-watering specs we previously reported which includes a rumored 4.8-inch screen with HD resolution, 8MP camera and quad-core processor for starters. Looks like the phone may very well be on its way folks.

Oh and for anyone interested: there are added reports the phone should be out by June of this year. That’s only 3 months away folks. Are any of you planning on breaking open the wallet or purse for the fancy new smartphone from Sammy?

Samsung Denies Galaxy S III Launch Rumors, Says Watch Twitter For Official Details

tagged , , , ,

We recently told you that the Samsung Galaxy S III was on track for an April launch but then followed up the next day with insider reports that conflict with that theory. When dealing with rumors and speculation in the mobile industry it is always hard to know what can be reliable, and obviously the best thing is to wait for some sort of official word from the respective manufacturer. Well that’s what we have today, an announcement from Samsung denying that an April launch was anything but confirmed. According to @samsungtomorrow’s Twitter account, the highly anticipated Galaxy S III’s launch date isn’t set in stone, causing one to believe the device may see a later announcement. That doesn’t mean to say we need to rule out April all together, but Samsung says they will once again take to Twitter when everything is finalized.

Samsung issued a statement to The Verge reiterating what we already know, that the Galaxy S III “will be unveiled in the first half of the year.” Given that announcement, it could technically be up to 4 months before before we see anything official. If you’re anything like me,  you like the sound of April much better. I guess we will just have to keep our eye on the @sumsungtomorrow Twitter account for official details.
