The successor of the Galaxy S II
Android smartphone won’t be
introduced at the Mobile World
Congress conference at the end
of the month. Instead, Samsung
plans to unveil the device at a
separate event in the first half of
the year, the company said in a
statement to The Verge.
The Galaxy S II is Samsung’s
record-breaking smartphone,
and now the pressure is on to
deliver a new model.The Galaxy S
II is Samsung’s most successful
smartphone to date, generating
10 million sales quicker than any
mobile device in the company’s
history. With Apple’s iPhone 4S
catching up with Android in the
U.S. over the holiday period, the
pressure is on for Samsung to
deliver a worthy rival before a
new iPhone model arrives this
year.
Android manufacturers tend to
preview their smartphones
earlier in the year, either at CES in
January or at the Mobile World
Congress (MWC) in February, and
these phones actually ship much
later in the year, especially in the
U.S., where carriers request
various customizations. Probably
to avoid long periods of waiting,
Samsung said it would announce
the Galaxy S II successor -- call it
the S III – later this year, “closer
to commercial availability of the
product.” The S II was
announced at MWC last year and
began shipping in April.
Samsung managed to keep the
lid on details about its upcoming
flagship smartphone, yet Eldar
Murtazin from Mobile-Review
hinted that he played with a
Galaxy S III. He says the Galaxy S II
successor will rock a 12-
megapixel camera and Android
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Other
previously speculated details for
the S III include a 1.8GHz dual-
core processor and 2GB of RAM,
although hopefully by the time
Samsung releases the phone, it
could slip in an Nvidia quad-core
mobile processor.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com
