The Galaxy S III, though it’s not being called that by Samsung, will
be launching on the third of May this year at a Samsung Mobile Unpacked
event in London. That’s the word from Tweakers.net,
who’ve received an official invite from the Korean company to “come and
meet the next Galaxy.” An anonymous Samsung employee has also confirmed
the news to DDaily over in Korea.
Samsung has been insistent in not yet naming its successor to the
Galaxy S II, perhaps because it’s planning a change in nomenclature or
maybe just to keep us all on our toes. Still, “Galaxy S III” is a
convenient shorthand for the next flagship Android device from the
company. Following in the footsteps of the Galaxy S II will be tough, as
that phone set new benchmarks for responsiveness and user experience
when it launched, leaving Samsung with no alternative but to try and
blow us away with its followup.
