We have been hearing about the possible impending launch of Samsung’s mighty successor to the (still) highly capablE Galaxy S II for the past few days now. There had been plenty of speculations about the possibility of Samsung coming up with the S III at the recently conclude Mobile World Congress at Barcelona – which as you now already, didn’t turn out to be true.
There have been a few image leaks as well – which have been dismissed as photoshopped imaginations of some creative genius.
Anyway, continuing with the ongoing slew of speculations about the Galaxy S III, folks from over at ZDNet Korea is reporting that Samsung would be finally announcing the Galaxy S III this very month (probably by the end of the month) and would follow it up with a launch sometime in April.
The source for ZDNet are Korean marketing companies who have been contacted by Samsung to make preparations for an event that the electronics major plans to hold later this month. It is highly likely that Samsung would announce the Galaxy S III at this proposed event.
As for the launch, it is now believed the Samsung wants to coincide the launch of the Galaxy S III just before the Summer Olympics of 2012 kickstarts in London a few months down the line. Samsung is likely to heavily promote the Galaxy S III during the sporting extravaganza and it would make sense for them to launch the phone a few weeks before the Olympics.
Anyway, let’s see if this latest rumor does turn out to be true!
