In today’s smartphone world, one of the best handsets to be released is the Samsung Galaxy S III which hit the shelves back in May last year. The Samsung flagship device since then has broken a lot of records and gotten a lot of sparkling reviews because of the impressive resume that it brings to the table and its fire-breathing components under the hood. Not only that, the Samsung Galaxy S III also is one of the most popular handsets to date with sales numbers already hitting the 40 million mark, a feat we haven’t seen a smartphone do for the longest time.
The popular Samsung Galaxy S III is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $0.01.
However, no matter how powerful that Samsung Galaxy S III may be, there will come a time that newer, more powerful devices will come along that will ultimately send the handset packing and out the door to head to retirement. In fact, the recent weeks have been filled with rumors and speculations about the upcoming successor of the handset and this has given the Samsung Galaxy S IV (if it is going to be called that) more than its fair share of digital ink.
Samsung as always is keeping mum about the subject but this did not stop the speculations and rumors from flying around especially when it comes to the supposed unveiling of the next Samsung flagship device. Recent rumors pointed to a supposed March announcement for the handset but there are also whispers that the Samsung Galaxy S IV could get announced at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2013 this February.
Samsung Mobile head honcho JK Shin however confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S IV would not get unveiled at MWC but announced that Samsung’s booth at the upcoming MWC 2013 will contain as many as 8 new Android-powered smartphones along with the rumored Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. But if it is the Samsung Galaxy S IV you are waiting for, you might get disappointed as the handset will be a no-show at MWC 2013.
In the meantime, while we are waiting for more juicy details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S IV, let us take a look at the very impressive resume of the Samsung Galaxy S III. Don’t worry, once we have more details about the successor of the S III, you will be the first to know.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S III, the handset is already running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its operating system and this is powered by a QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset. This SoC brings into play a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a staggering 2GB of RAM. The handset can be had in a 16GB and a 32GB version in terms of storage but this can still be expanded using the dedicated microSD card of the device. Display-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S III sports a massive 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a 1280 x 720 resolution while its camera department boasts of a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP snapper.
