Rumors is still circling around the Galaxy S III and samsung still deny all the rumors. Finally, Samsung revealed some details surrounding its next flagship Android smartphone. In fact, they specifically say: 

"The successor to the GALAXY S II smartphone will be unveiled in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product. We cannot confirm the detailed information at the moment.", said Samsung

Interestingly, Samsung does not explicitly refer to the successor to the Galaxy S II as the Galaxy S III but it will have another Name that is not announced yet, So we can still dream about this Upcoming handset, Samsung may show it on April but its actual release date to the Market will come later on.

Most of the Smartphones companies already released their new line-up and flagships on the MWC, So it is highly possible that we can see an unveiling from Samsung sometime soon (First Half on 2012), while commercial availability could potentially happen even before June.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is certainly the most anticipated device of this whole year. Samsung 2012 flagship has now allegedly been confirmed to launch as early as April, soon after its official announcement which is yet to come. ZDNet Korea reports about the launch date after it spoke with Cheil Worldwide, Samsung marketing and ad agency, which is preparing the device for the market in the UK.

Now, it looks like ZDNet refers to the official arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S III to shelves in April, at least in the first markets of availability. We are not yet clear about when the device will arrive stateside, but we expect it to be later on in the year.

Samsung Upcoming Flagship Galaxy S III smartphone will pack a Huge 4.8-inch display, according to the latest rumors, along with the unusual choice of ceramic rather than plastic for the back panel. The display has not been detailed by BGR insiders as to technology or resolution, though a Super AMOLED Plus likely offering at least 720p HD. Also The reports confirm the Quad-core chipset inside the galaxy S III, this Exynos chipset is also made by samsung and it was revealed a day ago by samsung.

As for the ceramic, it is a relatively unique choice of material for a smartphone, though the Galaxy S III would not be the first to sport it. Luxury phone brand Vertu has used ceramics before, though the company handsets certainly are not as advanced as the GSIII is expected to be. The key benefit would be in avoiding plastic which makes the current Galaxy S II feel somewhat cheap in comparison to rivals but not switching to metal, which usually requires more complex antenna designs to counterbalance the material radio blocking potential.

Samsung other rumored ambition with the Galaxy S III that it will be 7mm thick Only seems to be coming true. The company supposedly set its engineers the challenge of trimming down the already slimline GSII with the next-gen variant, and apparently only the 8-megapixel camera will be able to fit on this 7mm body.

Samsung gave an early peek at its first Quad-core mobile application processor at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference here. The unannounced chip is Samsung first to use its 32 nm high-k metal gate process and sports advances in performance and battery life over its existing 45 nm Exynos chips. This chip will also be the One that will power the Upcoming Galaxy Flagship (Galaxy S III), thats is supposed to be coming in Q2, 2012 with ICS on baord.

The new chip comes in versions using two or four ARM Cortex A9 cores running at rates from 200 MHz to 1.5 GHz along with a 64-bit ARM Neon media processing block. The cores share a 1 Mbyte L2 cache with a snoop control unit. The chip does not include an integrated baseband.

The chip supports two LPDDR2 or DDR3 interfaces running up to 400 MHz for a total memory bandwidth of up to 6.4 Gbytes/s.

Samsung said the new chip delivers up to 26.3 percent improvements in video frame rates. In a demo, Samsung showed the chip using 48 percent less power on 3-D calculations and 45 percent less power in CPU jobs than the 45 nm chip.
