Eldar Murtazin says specs for the Samsung Galaxy S III will include quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM
Share:
The Samsung Galaxy S III is on a lot of minds right now. The successor to the wildly successful Samsung Galaxy S II is now expected to launch in April according to industry insider Eldar Murtazin. He also ran through a list of specs that he expects to see on the phone, like a quad-core Exynos processor with each of the cores clocked at 1.5GHz to 1.6GHz, a Super AMOLED 720p display, a 12-megapixel camera and possibly 2GB of RAM. The amount of RAM was something Murtazin has speculated on before, and in his latest foray of tweets he didn't confirm that, so we'd take this with a grain of salt. Murtazin is also looking for 4G LTE connectivity and Android 4.0 to be installed out of the box, which won't be a huge surprise. The device will allegedly be introduced at a special event following this month's MWC in Barcelona, Spain.
Samsung just announced the other day that the Samsung Galaxy S III would stay home during the trip to Barcelona for MWC. The Korean based manufacturer has said that it doesn't want a repeat of last year when the gap between the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S II at MWC and its launch in the U.S. was seven long months. By waiting to display the phone at a special event, Samsung gets to control the timing of the announcement. And not that we could see this happening, but a presentation at MWC could conceivably get overshadowed by other announcements by other manufacturers.

They better have a better way of introducing it to the states faster cause the SGS2 is still in the limelight in the US and now SGS3 coming out i mean I'm all for it as long as an internatiol relase is made ASAP.

While I believe the SIII will be an amazing flagship phone. I definitely believe that the ASUS Padfone will have compartive specs, and with the ability to dock into tablet (not sit on outside of keyboard device like motorola did.. bad decision on their part), and in turn into the transformer's keyboard, makes it a very useful, and moneysaving, product.

Eldar Murtazin is a worthless troll.
I noticed that years ago, and you PA guys should really know better than giving space to him.

Ever look back through the discontinued phones and see the specs on the "high end" phones of just 2 years ago? Basic flips are more powerful now. It is pure unreal....

I know it makes me wonder how all the specs can keep doubling yet the price doesn't. Its bound to catch up sometime.

Then this is a nice jump from 1Gb of ram to 2Gb of ram. Wonder if all high end phones will take this route or maybe go with 1.5Gb.

The RAM is nice. But, how many years are we from utilizing a quad core in a phone? Like at least 2?
Boy, I bet ICS will sing on this, though, and I hope that means better battery life for all. If Sammy doesn't stay on top as the #1 phone producer in the world, it will not be for lack of trying....
