Along with the iPhone 5 the Samsung Galaxy S III is one handset that is high on a lot of people’s wish list this year with regards to getting a new smartphone. Both devices have been in the news a lot recently even though nothing officially has been announced by either company, and now we can tell you about a rumour that has emerged about the Galaxy S3 being released later this week.
According to an article over at T3 the highly anticipated device could be arriving this coming Friday in the UK, as the Phones 4U store in London’s Oxford Street has a big hording on the front of the store with the Samsung logo along with the caption ‘Coming 30/3/2012’.
While it has to be remembered that there is nothing official to suggest the device is coming later this week, the device is probably the standout upcoming product from the company to get excited about. Samsung decided not to showcase its latest flagship smartphone at this year’s MWC event, and said they would reveal it closer to the time it would be available to consumers.
Other devices in the Samsung product range that are due to be released include the Galaxy Beam with its built-in projector, and the new versions of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab, but these are not expected until later this year. You wouldn’t have thought that the company would go to so much trouble to launch a new budget handset though, and the mobile phone retailer were Samsung’s official partner for the launch of the Galaxy Nexus last year.
The upcoming smartphone has generated a lot of interest in recent weeks ahead of its release, and rumoured specs for the device include wireless charging and splash resistant Liquel nano technology. The company has enjoyed massive success so far with the two previous versions of the Galaxy S smartphone, with huge amounts of units sold.
Samsung will be looking to build on this before Apple decides to release the next version of the iPhone, and you never know the Galaxy S3 could be coming in only a few days.
Do you think Samsung will release the Galaxy S III later this week?
