still1 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Samsung Galaxy S III to be released next month after it's announced this month Another day, another fleeting rumor of the ever-elusive Galaxy S III. After skipping out on Mobile World Congress tro throw its own party Apple-style, Samsung still hasn?t mentioned when it intends to bring the Galaxy S III to market. The CHEIL Worldwide Marketing company thinks they know, according to ZD Net Korea: they say that Samsung is planning a huge promotion for April, when they expect the phone to launch in multiple markets worldwide. The 2012 Summer Olympics will reportedly play a large part in the initial promotion. The reasoning for the Olympic tie-in is a deal between Samsung, credit card company Visa and the IOC, launching a new NFC-based payment system with the Galaxy S III as the flagship device. NFC certainly makes sense ? Samsung has been including it with most of the high-end phones it?s announced in the last few months. The April release seems a little dubious, to be honest: there?s already a Samsung event scheduled for later this month in France, so they?d need to get the product finalized, announced and delivered in a span of just a few weeks. There?s very little information about the Galaxy S III that can be verified. A large screen, fast processor and Samsung?s TouchWiz version of Ice Cream Sandwich seem like a given, but every analyst and insider between here and South Korea seems intent on getting a word in edgewise. At the moment about the only thing we can say for sure is that a successor to the incredibly popular Galaxy S III is on its way ? some time, somewhere. http://androidcommun...h-nfc-20120302/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how, I mean wasn't it Apple that announced the iPad and it released the same/next day? or something to that effect? it might not of been Apple or the iPad but I remember someone announcing a product and it released on or just after the day they announced it. Anyone know what I'm on about? :p Anyway, sounds good and too bad I'm gonna have to give the S3 a miss :( I'd love to get it but there is no way Telstra will sell this phone on a plan under AUD$100 (per month) without a mobile repayment option, just going to be too expensive for me. Still there are still some nice cheaper phones coming out so I should still be able to get something decent to last me the next 2 years :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ently Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm either going to get one of these or the next Nexus phone. At least with a Nexus phone you get fast upgrades straight from Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
