The Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5 is leading the rumors section in YouMobile these days, According to an anonymous tipster who is said to be working for a large UK retailer the next Samsung flagship will be waterproof. And it will not be the only high-end phone to have such a feature, either the iPhone 5 will also reportedly resist water.

The rumor has it that the two top-shelf smartphones will feature a special nanocoating over their chips, which is impenetrable by water.

The technology is developed by a company called Liquipel and resembles the Nokia water-resisting coating that we saw in October and the HzO thing from last month.

Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphones Hits the the Highest Worldwide all time Sales record. However, that both otherwise high-end devices were made out of plastic was somewhat disappointing. BUT, Samsung Galaxy S III might set a new standard as the smartphone will sport a ceramic body, if rumors were right! Eldar Murtazin now claims that the design of the Samsung Galaxy S III has been finalized, suggesting that production of the device is ready to kick off.

But the ceramic casing is expected to be only one of the device several premium features. Rumors claim that the smartphone will be only 7mm thick, yet packed with processing power delivered by a quad-core processor. The display on the Galaxy S III is rumored to be 4.8-inches in diagonal and will most likely sport HD resolution.

Click to Show Larger Version of the Photo

We all are waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S III to be released, After many mock-ups we have just got a photo of the finilized design of the "Galaxy S III" (Photo Above) with ICS and TouchWiz UI. It has software buttons just like the Galaxy Nexus and Ceramic bezel and back, It looks Very Sharp and Amazing but its still a "Mock-UP" too!

The first two iterations of the Galaxy S series didn't make that much of a statement as far as looks and material quality go. The Galaxy S II's design is valued more as an engineering achievement than as a beautiful product. The Galaxy S phones we've seen until now have been entirely made of basic plastic - the typical Samsung affair. However, what we're hearing is that for the Galaxy S III, Samsung is to improve its work in the design and materials department. It's said that the manufacturer has used higher-quality materials such as ceramics for the body of the Galaxy S III. We're not sure if this would make it better than a metal or glass casing, but it would certainly be an incredible improvement over the plastic used in previous Galaxy S handsets. And who knows, the manufacturer may implement it in such a way that it could be unlike anything we've seen.

Although there isn't even an unofficial word on the dimensions of the phone, we're willing to believe that the Galaxy S III may be a bit larger in comparison to its predecessor, due to the fact that it's very likely for it to be equipped with a larger display. Here's for hoping that the difference in size won't be that substantial, since the relatively compact and very thin design of the S II was among its main advantages. Thankfully, one of the many rumors claims that the device will have a 7mm profile, so there probably isn't too much of a reason to worry.

Processor

Now, there's much more to talk about with regards to Galaxy S III specs, simply because there have been more leaks in this respect. And boy does the Galaxy S III shape up as an outstanding smartphone, at least in the imagination of some enterprising tipsters. But, the truth is, that a lot of the details we've heard are actually quite possible, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if Galaxy S III does indeed turn out to be a winner in the specs department.

To begin with, the handset is said to pack a brand new quad-core processor, of course. More specifically, it is expected to be clocked at 1.5-1.8 GHz, which automatically means the phone will be packing quite a punch. Those who have used the Galaxy S II have their hopes set for a new Exynos processor - Samsung's own line of SoCs (System-on-Chips). In case we do see a new Exynos powering the Galaxy S III, it'll most probably be the Exynos 4412, which is built with 32nm technology, allowing it to deliver better power efficiency than the current dual- and quad-core offerings like the Tegra 3, all the while providing an even better user experience in terms of performance. If you'd like to learn more about this new quad-core beast of a processor, check our article about it!

However, as we've seen with some other top-tier devices recently, manufacturers decide to switch to a dual-core Qualcomm processor for the U.S. versions of the phone, in order to be able to include LTE connectivity. Examples for such cases are the Samsung Galaxy Note and the HTC One X. Here's for hoping that this won't happen with the Galaxy S III as well, and U.S. customers will be able to experience the full quad-core Exynos goodness... if that's the processor of choice for Samsung, of course.


Memory

When it comes to the amount of memory installed on the device, we're pretty much in the dark. Still, there is one unofficial report that points at having 2GB RAM on the device, which does sound pretty good. Otherwise, storage capacity will probably be 16 or 32 GB.


Screen

The rumors regarding the screen size of the Samsung Galaxy S III are claiming that it will have a diagonal of 4.5 to 4.8 inches. That would be quite an increase from its predecessor, which had a 4.3" display. Generally, we don't mind having a bigger screen, but we do mind it if that's at the expense of device dimensions. In short, if having a 4.8" screen on the Galaxy S III means having a phone significantly bigger than the Galaxy S II - thanks, but we'd rather stay with the 4.3" one. That's our personal preference, of course. The best thing would be if we have a 4.8" screen on a body that's as big as the one of the S II, but we're not really sure if that's even possible.

As far as resolution goes, obviously most sources are expecting a 720x1280-pixel screen, as in some recent hi-end smartphones. Some, however, are speculating that we'll see a 600x1024 screen, which wouldn't be so cool. As you might expect, there are also some contrasting speculations, promising us a real 1080x1920 display. We would rather stick to the 720p theory for now.

In terms of technology, we are expecting Super AMOLED HD, as in the Galaxy Note, which means Super AMOLED-grade quality, coupled with HD resolution and PenTile arrangement of the pixels, but wouldn't it be awesome if Samsung debuts a new Super AMOLED HD Plus technology with the Galaxy S III, which is just the same as Super AMOLED HD, but using an RGB matrix? However, there's this other report which mentions something about a new Super AMOLED III technology, developed specifically for the Galaxy S III. We'll have to wait and see, obviously.


Camera:

It is widely believed that the camera on the next Galaxy S phone will be a 12MP one. It's almost certain that it will also be complemented by an LED, or dual-LED flash, hopefully a capable one. The Galaxy S II was a great camera phone, and it also took very good 1080p video. However, we're starting to see some manufacturers paying more and more attention to the cameras of their phones, and by the looks of it 2012 will be a year when we'll see a pretty good amount of innovation in this area. The iPhone 4S has set the current standard in this respect, but we also have the Nokia 808 PureView on the way with its 41MP sensor and lossless zoom capabilities. We also have HTC who has developed a brand new technology called ImageChip that's expected to take mobile photography on the company's devices to a whole new level. These are actually the reasons why we expect Samsung to do some other innovation in its camera besides upping the resolution. Knowing the attention Samsung pays to its phone cameras, chances are we'll most probably get what we want.

On the video recording front, we expect the Samsung Galaxy S III to be capable of capturing 1080p video, same as its predecessor. However, we're willing to believe that the improvement here will be with regards to the quality of the video material.


Connectivity

Naturally, the Galaxy S III is to sport 2G, 3G and 4G connectivity, where available. It's also a no brainer that it will come with LTE support in the U.S. and in the other parts of the world that have LTE networks set up. However, as we said earlier, we do hope that the LTE version of the device will stick to the quad-core Exynos processor and won't use a dual-core solution by Qualcomm, similarly to the Galaxy Note and One X. In those areas where LTE is unavailable, the Galaxy S III will most probably deliver those beloved 4G speeds through HSPA+.

Software

By now it should be crystal clear to everyone that the Galaxy S III will be running on Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is great. It'll also have the TouchWiz user interface on top, which isn't so great. Still, we think we have an idea how Samsung might ease the pain here. The company needs to come up with a new, 5th version of its custom UI, which looks way better than what we have on the Galaxy S II. This should do it, however, whether or not Samsung has any such plans is still a mystery.

We've finally reached the painful part for every Android addict. We've literally been flooded with rumors regarding the Galaxy S III release date, however, almost all of them have been proven wrong so far. Frankly, the best guess, according to us, so far is that we should expect the device in the first half of the year, or early Q3 at the latest. This is as certain as it is nonspecific. Still, South African carrier Cell C has already confirmed that it expects to have the handset in July, so that's probably when we should expect it. One thing we really hope for is that it won't take forever this time for Samsung to bring the handset to the U.S., as with the first and second Galaxy S.

Samsung next-generation Galaxy S III will reportedly be one of the thinnest smartphones in the world when it is unveiled in the coming months. South Korea Electronic Times News on Monday cited unnamed sources in claiming Samsung upcoming flagship superphone will pack impressive specs into a case that is just 7 millimeters thick, the thinnest version of Samsung current flagship, the Galaxy S II, features a case that is exactly 8.495 millimeters thick.

They states that the Galaxy S III will feature an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front camera, a Super AMOLED Plus display and the Android 4.0 ICS onboard. An earlier report claimed the Galaxy S III could launch as soon as April, but Electronic Times News claims the handset will hit store shelves in May. Samsung Galaxy S III will feature a quad-core processor, a Super AMOLED Plus HD display, 4G LTE connectivity, 2GB of RAM.

Samsung Benelux has sent invitations for a press release in Amsterdam of their line up for 2012. The poster of the invitation is about Samsung Upcoming smartphones or mobile devices line up for 2012.

The Event date is March,15 which is very close to the End of the MWC 2012 (28Feb- 2Mar), Thats Why Samsung announced before it will not release any new smartphones on the MWC. Its time to see the Galaxy S III, the long waited successor of the Galaxy S II and the scanned ICS device from Samsung.

If you look closely to the Invitation Poster above you will Notice a "3" !

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.

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.

Galaxy S III Expected Design

Galaxy S III Expected Specs

Samsung Galaxy S III will feature a huge 4.8-inch display with a stunning 1080p resolution (even higher ppi than a retina Display). It is expected to be powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz Samsung Exynos processor, an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel shooter up front. Of course, it will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and feature LTE. Design will also evolve with neat ceramic casing.

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.

Samsung's yesterday's teaser just stopped its Countdown timer to reveal teaser video for its Unpacked event on May,3 in London where Samsung is expected to show "The Next Galaxy".

Samsung is staying as cryptic as possible still, with the title of its anagram website being "A Whole New Universe" along with a New website too www.TheNextGalaxy.xom, and the video teaser have some info hiding inside it, We take a deep look into it and got some good results

What the Teaser Revealed about the S3 ?

• Fits into your hand - (Not Huge, may be smaller than Note)

• View of the world goes wider - (Could be a Camera with wider lens)

• Power to explore swiftly - (Quad-core Exynos)

A press Photo of the Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III Advertisement was leaked across the web today, On the bottom right of the Photo it mentions the name of Weber Shandwick, a PR company who has a history of working for Samsung. We decided to analyze this photo it to see if its true or not!

The Photo above could be true for several reasons: Weber Shandwick is the largest PR agency in the world. Weber Shandwick operates in several sectors, along with Samsung. The picture could also originate from an internal document at Weber Shandwick, which to a Unpacked event on 22 Intended to prepare May!

Besides, the design fits the Galaxy S3. Loudspeaker front, above and below the display aa perfect match to the current design line from Samsung. Look at the Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 or 1.10 of the Galaxy note, both are the display next to the speakers!

Is it the Galaxy S II or Not ? ... it looks very close to it but we will have to wait and see if samsung will make a statement about this Photo.

Today, Samsung own executives confirmed to KoreaTimes that an Exynos-branded chipset with four CPU-cores will be used in the Galaxy S II successor.

Samsung feels the need to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm and the yet unannounced flagship will feature their own on-chip LTE radio. The fact that most previous-gen LTE devices used a separate chip for LTE connectivity was often quoted as the reason for their relatively poor battery life and Samsung is obviously going to have none of this for its next headliner.

It is still anyone guess what will be the architecture of the four CPU cores inside the next Galaxy S device. The 32nm version of the Cortex-A9 surfaces most frequently, but Cortex-A15 cores have not been completely ruled out too. A quad-core Mali GPU is also all but certain, but it is unclear if it will be the all new T604 or merely an upgraded version of the 400MP used in the Galaxy S II.

Am Official press Photo leaked of the Galaxy S III leaked along with some specs. The anonymous tipster told GSM Helpdesk that the Galaxy S III will measure 131 x 64 x 8 mm and weight 125g (the Galaxy S2 is 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm, 116 g). The screen will be slightly smaller than previously rumored 4.7-inch with 720p resolution and will use SuperAMOLED Plus HD technology. That regular RGB matrix in 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.

Galaxy S III Full Specifications

The camera on the Samsung Galaxy S III is tipped at 12MP with 1080p@60fps video recording. The camera will reportedly also feature slow-mo recording, so the 60fps might be for that mode rather than producing 60fps clips.

As far as CPU goes, the anonymous tipster confirms the quad-core at 1.5GHz. The Galaxy S III will have 1GB of RAM (same as current model) and 32GB of built-in storage, according to the tipster. The connectivity on the S III should see the adoption of dual-carrier HSPA for downlink speeds of up to 42Mbps, but uplink is reportedly still limited to 5.76Mbps. There are other specs mentioned - Wi-Fi a/b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and HDMI out. None of those comes as a big surprise, either.

More rumors on the upcoming Galaxy S III, Latest one suggest that the next Samsung flagship will be using wireless charging, rather than the conventional microUSB charging.

DDaily reports that the Galaxy S III will have wireless charging technology built right into the back casing of the phone. The technology that Samsung will be using means that the phone would not even need to be placed directly down on a charging pad it could be as much as one to two meters away and still begin charging. That would differ from traditional inductive charging which requires a direct connection between the charging surface and back case.

Another Samsung Galaxy S III leak but this time we have a REAL device to show you! we have got a live photo that is allegedly depicting the Samsung I9300 Android smartphone. The model number has previously been associated with the next Samsung flagship, though there is no confirmation that this is in fact the Galaxy S III.

Samsung Galaxy S II code is Gt-I9100, so it would make a lot of sense for the international Galaxy S III to get code GT-I9300.

The screen bezel seems quite wide, so if the pictured smartphone really does have a HD 4.7" screen it will be quite large and hard to handle. You may also Notice that Sasmung lofo is underneath the display noton the top like befroe.

Galaxy S III Full Specfiications

Another possible scenario is that earlier rumors had it right and the Galaxy S III will come with a model number I9500, while this one here is going to be its sidekick. We can also be looking at a prototype unit, which has a different design to the final version.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is occasionally making the headlines with either a rumor or a mockup pumping up our expectations before the official release, and this here rumor is no exception to that rule. Korean DDaily now reports that the upcoming Galaxy S III will feature a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Moreover, this will be the first non-pentile HD AMOLED screen made by Samsung and this alone is a hugely impressive feat.

Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus also had a 4.65-inch HD display, but there Samsung went with the sub-par pentile technology where instead of the traditional arrangement of red-green-blue pixels (RGB), you get less subpixels and generally a fuzzier image.

The HTC One X most recently raised the bar very high with its 4.7-inch Super LCD 2 HD screen, which left us impressed but this here S III screen could easily beat it.

Today, We have no rumors but confirmation, An Official Samsung Press Invitation for the Galaxy S III launching event has been leaked with a release date and a sneak-peak of the device Computer rendering,

According to the leaked poster/invitation the Galaxy S III is coming on 22nd,May and the launching Event wil be held in London,UK.

The press image just shows a part of the phone, where we can see a sleek metal casing that tapers and bends backwards towards the bottom, with the display infusing seamlessly on the front. Strangely, there is no micro USB port at the bottom, as is usually the case with recent Samsung devices. The sides have been scooped out but there are no visible keys in the picture.

Samsung used the alternative HD PenTile screen matrix arrangement on the Galaxy Note, it wasn't bad but the colors and sharpness of the screen is not that good, Samsung want to go further with a HD Super AMOLED+ RGB matrix.

As predicted, the 5.5-Gen A2 production line that was supposed to move to Phase 3 production method tests in Q1 this year, will be churning out the 720p Super AMOLED screen with a regular RGB matrix for the Samsung Galaxy S III now in Q2.

Moreover, Samsung is reportedly using a combination of FMM and LITI for it FMM for the blue pixels, since it is the blue that traditionally gave trouble in OLED screens with its shorter lifespan than the other organic LEDs, and LITI for the red and green pixels, resulting in what we hope will be a gorgeous and durable RGB Super AMOLED screen for the Galaxy S III.

The panel is reported to be the same one that initially went out on the 4.65-inch Galaxy S II HD LTE, but done with a true HD RGB matrix, resulting into the sweet 316ppi pixel density, for real this time.

No More rendring photos, This a real live photo of the Galaxy S III with 720p display and 5 Row UI, Also the Device appeared to be running stock Android ICS 4.0.3 without samsung TouchWiz UI.

There is the physical home button underneath the 4.7" display, which we recently learned has made its way into the front design at the last minute, as well as the rumored 5 Row UI (same as Galaxy Note). In fact, Samsung has an R&D center in Poland, which leaked the Galaxy Note chillaxing in the metro in someone hands before the official announcement, so this thing might have some dose of credibility to it.

The source is a guy who is currently a tester for this product, and who had censored the UI details beforehand. The Galaxy S III has allegedly been kept as a secret for so long, as carriers got a generic box with only the screen and the ports uncovered, so the testers did not leak the design prematurely.

Samsung has started sending out invitations for a May 3 event in London that is cryptically entitled "Come and meet the next Galaxy". That is just 17 days from now and we know the thoughts on everyone mind "Galaxy S III ?"... Yes it sounds like it is the Next GALAXY!

Samsung will really reveal its next Android GALAXY flagship then, it has managed to be on par with Apple in building excitement and secrecy around its leading phone annual edition launch.

Samsung Invitiation

Samsung using different processors for the same phone in different regions. Sources say that the Samsung "Galaxy S III", or the Next GALAXY that which is coming by May 3, will have a "Global" version, which will be the one with the quad-core processor, most likely the Exynos 4412.

That probably means there might be US carrier versions with Snapdragon, but let is not get ahead, May 3 is just around the corner. "As we have seen with Qualcomm S4, [quad-core] is not automatically better than a dual-core", the source added, as for users who are worried about performance.

He also said, " to expect superlative benchmark performance" from the quad-core Galaxy S III. Given that last year Exynos can hold clock for clock with the new Snapdragon S4, we would not be very surprised if 4412 blows every other Android silicon out of the water.

More News confirms the launch of the Galaxy S III on 3, May, Amazon's German website has started taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III to be delivered by End of May, With only €599, about $790 you can have the device reserved. All these prices includes VAT with a Free delivery and according to the site, the device is not yet available.

There were no pictures of the phone included on the Pre-order page, but some of the specs were mentioned such as the 4.7 inch Super AMOLED screen that shows 16Million colors, and a 12MP camera with AF, LED flash and face detection. Android 4.0.3 is installed out of the box and the Samsung Galaxy S III is said to come with 16GB of native storage that can be "expandable to 32GB" with a MicroSD.

Other hardware mentions include 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage plus microSD capability.

Well, when Samsung was asked to comment on the photo, Samsung didn't say much about the leaked photos but May,3 is very close and we will know.

It has been assumed that Samsung next Galaxy device, presumable the Galaxy S III, would be available for all major UK carriers, but it is safe to safe Vodafone will definitely be in that mix.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is out with a Quad-core Exynos processor, a gorgeous 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display and an 8-megapixel camera, but there is nothing like seeing the handset in live action.

Hand's-on Video

Samsung this time took care of this and posted a full hands-on video review of the Galaxy S III, walking you through the most interesting new features of the handset.

The Galaxy S III is now official. The new Android flagship of the Samsung powered by the new Exynos 4 Quad chipset, featuring four cores clocked at 1.4GHz and 1GB of RAM.

On Quadrant, the Galaxy S III got the highest score we have seen so far 5642 points. The HTC One X did come close as its quad-core CPU was able to match the performance of the S III processor, but the Mali-400MP GPU gave the Samsung smartphone the victory here.

On SunSpider, the CPU-stressing JavaScript benchmark, the Galaxy S III four 32nm 1.4GHz Cortex-A9 cores posted super fast times, once again leaving all of its competitors way behind. We suspect Samsung has also done some fine tuning to its new smartphone JavaScript engine, which helped it do so well here.

On the BrowserMark HTML5 benchmark. Galaxy S III final result was 169,811 points.

The Samsung Galaxy S III comes with not just one, but many new little software additions that combined together make a difference. One that stands out among them is S Voice, a Siri-like service, that allows you to use your phone as a personal assistant you can speak to. It uses natural language processing, so you do not have to shout out automated commands it will understand your natural sentence.

Well, think about Siri and you would have a good idea about the functionality of S Voice. Something different is the ability to wake up your phone by just saying "Hi, Galaxy," or "Hi, buddy," or actually whatever you pick in S Voice.

The Samsung Galaxy S III has just got some Cool accessories to add some extra functionality to this awesome device, Samsung will release the accessories with the device release on the Market, which is expected to be by the End of this Month.

Samsung is pushing its AllShare wireless service for pushing music out to external devices with an AllShare Cast Dongle.

One of the best designed accessories is the S Pebble, an MP3 player that should function in concert with the Galaxy S III for more Music control wirelressly from your phone.

Samsung Also Introduces a Wireless Charing kit for the S III, It is an optional extra instead of regular charger, But you will have to swap the back cover for that is compatible. Customers had to do a similar thing with the Palm Pre: the original backplate was plastic, and charging back cover rubberized with a conductive coil built into the case. 

Samsung and Dropbox partnered to bring deep Dropbox Integration on the Galaxy S III, Dropbox also will offer a FREE 50GB! of Cloud storage to all Galaxy S III users.

The Dropbox app will come with the Galaxy S III, and once you register, you willl have access to the whopping 50GB of cloud storage for free which would cost $200 with the current prices.

In case you've missed it, Here is the whole Samsung Galaxy SIII unveiling "Unpacked 2012" event that was held in london on May,3 and we was live streaming it last Thrusday.

Good News for U.S. users, Samsung has put up a signup page for U.S. customers to give their email address to receive updates on the Galaxy S III as information becomes available for their Carriers. The page also featured a "Carrier Preference" dropdown box but it was removed.

The box enabled you to choice between AT&T, C Spire Wireless, Metro PCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon. What is interesting about that list is it is not representative of the seven top carriers, making it seem that those carriers were picked for a specific reason possible the carriers that will eventually carry the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Sign-Up for Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy S III Pre-orders ha just started today, The SGS III devices available for pre-orders are all Sim-Free (unlocked) devices and the price is between $800-$900.

Now Amazon UK has the phone for £499 SIM-free (which is about $809). We bet that price will continue to slide down when May,30 (launch date) come, so even right after its availability it won't be priced higher than the rest of the high-end Android smartphones.

Amazon US has the price pegged at $899 SIM-free since the announcement and is not budging at those early adopters, who want to have the latest and greatest Android phone unlocked before everybody else is waiting for the US carrier versions.

When Samsung announced its Galaxy S III Android flagship, it also unveiled several cool accessories , Like the wireless streaming HDMI TV-Out AllShare Cast dongle, listening to music with Mp3 player S-Pebble. But the Most anticipated one we really want to try it that allows you to charge the phone without plugging any cables, The Galaxy S III "Wireless charging kit".

Sadly, it seems like we will have to wait for a part of this cable-free dream to come true as the wireless charging kit has been delayed.

Retailers UK is reporting that the kit won't be released alongside the Samsung Galaxy S III. In fact, its Expected in September.

Today VISA and Samsung confirmed officially that they have teamed up to provide a limited edition of the Galaxy S III (the Olympic phone for Mobile Payment) with VISA's payWave app to sponsored athletes, who will be able to wave the phone and purchase stuff at thousands of locations across London, like taxis, retail stores, and even the Olympic Park itself.

The payWave app allows you to simply launch it and hold the phone near an enabled terminal, of which there are 140, 000 across the UK, without even requiring a passcode for purchases below 20 pound sterling.

A Sprint user agent profile revealed some information about the carrier's version of the Samsung Galaxy S III. The device has been given the model number SPH-L710 which corresponds with Sprint. The specs almost match perfectly with the GT-I9300, which is the international version handset.

The major difference between the Sprint model and the global variant is that as expected, Sprint's device won't carry the quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 processor (as it doesn't support LTE) and instead features the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 S4 processor.

The Galaxy S III SPH-L71 will come with 16GB/32GB/64GB Storage with Android 4.0.4 ICS the same as the Galaxy S III I9300, Sprint is reported to announce the device very soon with a release date too.

This device is Sprint's Galaxy S III version SPH-L300 and it will be launching on the network very soon. The device is pegged to have a MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor.

As seen on the Photo above, the device looks very similar to the Galaxy S III, The buttons at the bottom of the device appear to be etched into the frame. The top bezel of the device seems extremely huge, and excessive. As well, we can see on the battery below the Samsung logo that "Near Field Communications" is listed, confirming that the device will support NFC capabilities.

Specifications

The physical dimensions of the device are 12.19cm x 6.38cm x 1.204cm (HxWxD). Its chipset is the Qualcomm (MSM8960), 4GB ROM and a 1GB Ram, 4.3" display with a 800×480 (WVGA) resolution, main camera is 5MP, 4G LTE, and Bluetooth 4.0 are included. The device will indeed be running Android 4.0.4 at launch.

Samsung apparently deems the Galaxy S III PenTile superior for an AMOLED screen longevity, despite that it touted the RGB matrix last year in the Galayx S II marketing. We know that blue subpixels deteriorate orders of magnitude faster in an OLED screen due to the nature of their components, compared to the longer-lasting green and red. With recent advancements in the blue diodes, this has been remedied, but on the research phase, and not yet implemented in mass production, it seems.

Samsung research showed that people are keeping phones like the Galaxy S III longer than 18 months, so it wanted to ensure the screen will keep its initial quality as long as possible. The thing is that PenTile uses red-green-blue-green (RGBG) subpixel arrangement in the "screen door"-style PenTile matrix, whereas the ordinary red-green-blue RGB "stripe" matrix has twice more blues, obviously, which you can see in the picture on the right, while the human eye is much more sensitive to greens, so blues are not missed much with PenTile.

Still, Philip Berne said they are using a different PenTile method for the 4.8" HD screen on the Galaxy S III, compared to the 4.6" on the Galaxy Nexus, with shrunken gaps in the subpixel matrix, further minimizing the PenTile "grainy" effect in solid colors when looked at from right under your nose, or, even funnier, under a microscope, both of which you won't be doing anyway with the Galaxy S III.

Yesterday, We posted a lot of videos that we shooted of the Samsung's GALAXY S III features on our Review. Now, we're getting video from XDA showing off a few phone gestures that we hadn't known about before. There are three gestures shown in the video, but we definitely like the idea and would love to see more.

The video shows that if you are scrolling down a long list of items, like your Twitter feed perhaps, a quick double-tap on the top edge of the phone will return you to the top of the list. Scrolling on Android can be pretty fast, but the simple double-tap seems like a great solution. And, last was a gesture whereby placing your hand over the device will pause video that you're watching, including video in pop-up mode.

Samsung have announced that eager customers who pre-order the upcoming Galaxy S III flagship from the Samsung Brand Store in Westfield Stratford City, can receive their device a day before its official release date specifically on May 29th at 6pm.

If you've already pre-ordered your device from another UK retailer, don't fret, as Samsung have also announced that other Samsung retail partners can also make the device available on the 29th, except at 7pm, and at their discretion.

Phones4U, the UK online retailer, is the latest retailer to offer free extra accessories with the Galaxy S III Pre-order. If you pre-order an S III from them, you'll get a free 32GB microSD card along with a genuine Samsung case the Flip Case white/blue depending on which color you ordered.

The deal goes for both the Blue and the White Galaxy S III units and with the free memory card you will get a total storage of 48GB. Phones4U offers the S III with contracts on Vodafone, Orange and O2 but There is No sim-free version currently available.

Great News for Samsung fans in Japan, The Japanese carrier "NTT Docomo" will soon gets its own version of Samsung's GALAXY S III. However, the Japanese version packs dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz processor (MSM8960) instead of the Exynos Quad-core processor on the International version.

Another interesting fact is that the Samsung Galaxy S III (SC-06D) will pack 2GB of RAM instead of 1Gb on the Intentional version. Which makes the GALAXY S III SC-06D the first Android smartphone with a 2GB RAM, Other specs of the Device is the same as the original Galaxy S III I9300 specifications.

Today, As a big News for GALAXY S III future Owners, Vodafone UK is happy to announce that the GALAXY S III is the Most Pre-ordered Android smartphone device to date. Vodafone is going to launch it on May 30.

The Galaxy S III will cost you free with a two-year contract and a £41 tariff/month. The other major UK carriers (O2, Orange, Three and T-Mobile) will also launch the phone in UK on May 30.

While everyone is waiting to get his GALAXY S III, some speculation has been flying that the launch of the international BLUE version of the Samsung Galaxy S III is going to be delayed. The reason might have that 600,000 pebble blue battery covers for the Galaxy S III had to be destroyed by Samsung because they were defective. So the pebble blue Samsung Galaxy S III has been delayed from the original shipping date of May 29th because the supplier has stopped all deliveries. Here is an Email a pre-ordered customer received :

"Dear customer, Thank you ordered a Samsung Galaxy SIII Blue Pebble of us. We are sorry to announce that we will not deliver it on release date, which is on 29/5. This is because the supplier has suddenly stopped all deliveries of the blue mobile. This applies to all retailers and operators in Scandinavia, and is not something that only affects CDON.COM . We have tried to maintain a dialogue with the Samsung, but without success. Samsung says that the preliminary shipping date is week 22, but this is unfortunately not something that we are yet to confirm. CDON.COM will compensate all affected customers by sending out a free coupon for the license to Samsung Navigator (value of 599 €). We would again like to emphasize that there are some blue models to Scandinavia before the release, nor any dealer or any operator. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely CDON.CO"

Strangely enough, Phandroid received an email too from retailer Negri Electronics confirming that there will be a delay in launching the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S III. The strange thing about it is that the email says it is the white version that is going to be released later than expected.

"To many, being first is a necessity. To us, it is a requirement. While we do not have great news for our customers, we still anticipate to be the first to carry the Galaxy S III, but the date has been set to the 29th. Our supplier originally gave us a firm date of arrival for the 25th, but has failed to follow through with the promise- putting us in a compromising position with our reputation and name. We anticipate having the Blue, 16GB Galaxy S III before the White. At this time we are not trying to assume a delay from Samsung; but the White is expected to arrive June 1st." - Negri Electronics

We reported before the Blue version of the Galaxy S III will experience some delays to reach the Market, Today we got a confirmation from Clove Uk retailer that the blue variant of the Galaxy S III would ship on June 5th where the White variant will be available on June 1st. Only 4 days delay than the white version.

Today, Samsung Made an Official Statement regarding this delay matter, Samsung admitted that it had quality control issues relating to a new color it had invented and the special coating it had used on the back covers. As a result, the part will be in short supply for 2-3 weeks, which of course will delay the launch of the pebble blue model of the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Official Samsung Statement

"Samsung's Galaxy SIII Pebble Blue version comes with a newly invented blue colour and special hyper-glaze material. In order to meet the highest internal quality standards and to provide the best quality Galaxy SIII to customers, a short supply of Pebble Blue version is expected in some regions in the next 2-3 weeks. Samsung is working hard to ensure that customers will get the Pebble Blue coloured devices as soon as possible." - Samsung Korea

There will be two versions of the Galaxy S III the LTE sporting SGH-i747 and the 42 Mbps HSPA+ flavored SGH-iT999. The former will hit Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile, SaskTel, TELUS and Rogers Wireless, while the iT999 will be available on Videotron, Wind and Mobilicity. Pricing is yet to be announced.

The RAM has been increased to 2GB as well, giving the device a performance boost.

Samsung always tend to please the android developer community by releasing the kernel source code of their latest phones, Samsung kept their tradition and they have released the source code of the Galaxy S III.

The Samsung Galaxy S III has already been launched globally, but not in the US. Those lucky users using the Samsung Galaxy S III have already managed to pass along a tip relating to the S Voice. If you want a faster response from the unit's home button, you have to disable S Voice.

Uncheck This on S Voice Setting

It's all quite simple. The Samsung Galaxy S III can be set to open up S Voice with a double press of the home button. The only problem with that is that after the first press of the button, there is a pause as the phone stops to see if you want to go to the home page or open S Voice. It's the same thing that happens anytime a handset manufacturer decides to offer double-tap functionality to a button. So if you want the ability to get to your home page more quickly, you can go into the settings to disable the double-tap feature.

Verizon and Sprint, two of the biggest Carriers on U.S. is confirmed to be getting the Samsung Galaxy S III as both the Verizon (SCH-i535) and the Sprint (SPH-L710) versions of the device visited the FCC. As expected, this means that each of the four major mobile operators in the States will be adding the highly anticipated phone to its line up. Both models offer connectivity through their respective Ev-Do and LTE pipelines.

Additionally, Verizon's unit has some support for GSM and EDGE on the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands which allows for some basic global roaming although without 3G data coverage.

AT&T and T-Mobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy S III will be model numbers SGH-i747M and SGH-T999 respectively. While the phone has yet to be introduced in the U.S., We currently don't have al launch date for Verizon& Sprint but T-Mobile model will be launched by June 20th.

Great News for US, We got a Confirmation yesterday that the U.S. Samsung Galaxy S III will be heading to Verizon carrier. Today we got the photos of the actual device and the specs too.

As you can see the device is the same design as the Intonation version of the Galaxy S III, It pack the Verizon's 4G LTE logo in the back instead of the front, which is better to most people.

According to Samsung, the U.S. Galaxy S III has a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 and a 2GB RAM and other Specs are the same as the International GALAXY S III, The Verizon's device will be launching During this Month (June).
