Samsung Galaxy S III might sit out MWC
Share:
The 4Chan poster had called for the Samsung Galaxy S III to be revealed at the MWC in Barcelona next month equipped with a 2.0GHz quad-core CPU with a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED III display. To improve upon what many have called the one flaw on the Galaxy S II, the resolution of the display is supposed to be 1024 x 1280 giving the phone a 352ppi. That would be the highest ppi reading on a handset to date. Remember, this 4Chan poster knew a great deal about the specs of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus before they were announced, including the name of the phone.

Was this the Samsung Galaxy S III in a video? |
Last year, the Korean manufacturer revealed the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 at MWC, so the thought was that Samsung would do it again this year. But nearly 7 months went by from the time the Galaxy S II was announced in Barcelona and the first U.S. version (the Samsung Epic 4G Touch) was launched via Sprint. Word is that Samsung does not want Stateside smartphone buyers to repeat the long wait for the phone.
Another theory, this one from Android and Me, suggests that with Samsung producing the quad-core A6 processor for Apple using the Cortex-A9 CPU core, the Korean manufacturer will try to go one step better by putting the Exynos 5250 under the hood of the Samsung Galaxy S III. That processor uses ARM’s Cortex-A15 core and probably won't be ready until the third quarter of this year. It is all grain of rice talk, but aiming to put the Exynos 5250 inside the Galaxy S III would be a truly good reason for not showing off the phone next month in Barcelona.

If they just buy some moto batteries that shouldn't be a problem.

I will be right their with you. The sgs3 might be my next phone! I played with an sgs2 and loved it. If it comes out during my upgrade for verizon it will be tough to turn down.

1280x1024 is one square ass phone. So it's not possible.

Was the phone ever really announced to be making a debut at the MWC?
"3-6-12"
wasnt that the date that appears in the middle of the Samsung S3 teaser video that came out back in Decemeber...?
Samsung might have had plans to hold its own event from the get go to announce the single biggest phone release ever by Samsung.

Either way im all for supped up specs and high res screens but the thing has got to have a great battery life. That is my main driver over many things is battery life.

I just hope the quad core exynos will be compatible with LTE so we can all enjoy the super processor!
And what's with the 1280x1024 resolution?? A typo I hope?!? That's too square!!
