After the long wait and tons of rumors, Samsung finally announced the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Samsung has finally confirmed the existence of the sequel to their famous handset the Samsung Galaxy S2. However, there is still no official word as to when the Samsung Galaxy S3 will grace the smartphone market. The good news is that the production of the Galaxy S3 has already begun. There is a big buzz about Samsung using the very same ceramic technology that HTC has been using on their recent handsets.
A lot of people were expecting to get a glimpse of this handset in the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC 2012). Unfortunately, it was a no-show on the said Barcelona event but at least we all know that this is coming very soon. An official Samsung spokesperson said that the "Samsung Galaxy S3 will be unveiled at a different Samsung-hosted event in the first half of this year". We all want this to be sooner than soon.
There are many rumors about the actual specs of this handset. Samsung is not that eager to give in to the clamor of the market. All we can do is to hope that the fascinating rumors about this handset are all true. One rumor said that this phone is only 7mm thick. Imagine seeing a handset that powerful in a super-slim chassis? Now, that is more than amazing.
There are also some leaked reports and rumored hands-ons reviews that say the Galaxy S3 will come in with 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display (1280 x 720p resolution). Just so you know, HD Super AMOLED display is now a company trademark. With the success of their Samsung Galaxy S2, who can blame them? There are also some that says that this will come in with a 4.8" display. Well, let's just wait and see.
Some of the rumors suggest that the handset will ship with 2GB worth of RAM and as much as 32GB worth of internal storage. A whopping 12MP shutter with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities is also mentioned about this handset. There is also the mouth-watering 2GHz dual-core processor. Although we are rooting for the other rumor that says 1.5GHz Quad-core processor on this handset, but nothing is final yet.
Also, this handset is rumored to come with nano tech coating in the form of Liquipel. With this, the handset can withstand water/liquid drop or spill. This handset is said to come in with the latest Android iteration the Ice Cream Sandwich.
There are so many rumors going on about this handset and it is so hard to ignore them. The only good thing is that we all know that the Samsung Galaxy S3 does exist, and this is what matters the most.
