Samsung Galaxy S III Latest Release Date

Here we go around the rumor mill with with accusation after accusation followed finally by the truth from the company that knows the correct answer.

First there were rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S III would be shown at mobile world Congress because the Samsung Galaxy S II was announced at Mobile World Congresss. Then a marketing company in Korea ( Cheil Worldwide) slipped that Samsung was working on a launch in time for the London summer Olympics making the conejecturati bloggers assume an all-but-confirmed launch in April.

So Samsung confirms via Twitter in Korea that no way is the Samsung Galaxy S III will not be launched in April. When probed further Samsung reintegrated that:

"The successor to the Galaxy S II smartphone will be unveiled in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product. We cannot confirm the detailed information at the moment."

This is not unusual in the smartphone arena because the convergence of technology and software is not keeping up with what people want in an instant. Smartphone time is warping into galaxies that can't operate at the speed of light.

When the Samsung Galaxy S III is released in the first half of this year, Americans should expect a delay of a few months, because Samsung products including the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S II are landed on U.S. shores much later than on other continents.

Suspected specs of the Samsung Galaxy S III include super slim, Super AMOLED, 8MP-12MP camera with HD recording , LTE and HDMI output. It may be thinner than the Droid RAZR. The touchscreen may be as large as 4.6".

Samsung in 2011 was the top smarpthone maker, selling one million smartphones more than iPhones. We can expect many more innovations this year. The Samsung Galaxy SII was the named the top best smartphone of 2011 by numerous reviewers.

Some other possible Samsung Galaxy S III rumors were:

The Samsung Galaxy S III will use printed circuit boards that are thinner to make a 7mm thin smartphone.

Super AMOLED Plus 720p touchscreen. Most likely at 4.6"or greater.
