Refresh version of Samsung Galaxy S III coming with larger battery and wireless charging?

A refresh version of the Samsung Galaxy S III will make a great phone even greater

Just because the Samsung Galaxy S 4 is days away from being introduced doesn't mean that the Korean manufacturer has completely given up on the Samsung Galaxy S III. After all, the device took all of the positive momentum that Samsung earned with the Samsung Galaxy S II and expanded on it more than Samsung could ever had hoped. Now, Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin has sent out a tweet about a refresh version of the Galaxy S III that takes a great device and makes it even greater.

According to Murtazin, the 2100mAh battery on the original Samsung Galaxy S III will be replaced with a 2400mAh cell. The tweet also hinted at an improved display, although it was not said how Samsung would achieve this. It could be a higher resolution panel that will be on the refresh version of the device, we just don't know at this time. Additionally, wireless charging will be enabled.

It all sounds good, but we're pretty sure that Samsung has something more urgent to talk about for now.
