Samsung: Expect Galaxy S III and 4G tablet in first half of 2012

[wicked]

The hottest smartphone on the planet right now is arguably the Samsung Galaxy S II. It sold 120,000 units in South Korea after just three days, and just set a record with over 1 million units sold in Korea in the first month after launch in the country. That means that the handset is the fastest selling smartphone in Korean history, although some cynics would say that Samsung had the home field advantage.

Just because the Samsung Galaxy S II has scored outrageous quadrant benchmark scores doesn't mean that the phone can't be improved. The president of Samsung's Mobile division, J.K. Shin, said that the Samsung Galaxy S III will see the light of day in the first half of next year. If the Galaxy S II has proven to be such a highly desirable phone, imagine what its successor will be like. Also, we should see carrier-specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S II hit the States sometime this summer.

Hey Samsung let's concentrate on getting the SII out to US carriers before we work on the SIII.....Thanks :icon_eek:

Actually, the SIII coming makes me feel better about hanging onto my Charge for a bit and passing on the SII..... decisions decisions.

You dare tease me with the SIII when I can't even get the SII. Samsung, you bastards...

Yea, I can see that. Though first half means anywhere between January to June. So you can probably expect it on US carriers next Summer. So it falls in line with the original Galaxy S and the Galaxy S II. I'm just surprised they came out and said it.

Same. And considering my 2 year contract doesn't end till Christmas, this could be perfect. Then again, US carriers probably won't get it till June...

I would love it if it wasn't Samsung.
Unless they get there updates out faster, I will never buy one of there phones again.
I am sure it'll be kickass though.

But these days every Android phone it.

I burned my final early upgrade on the Charge...

Might I ask why you went with the Charge? From what I've read its not most peoples first choices.

For what it is worth, a sales rep at a local Samsung Mall displayed assured me that a Verizon 4g version will be released next month. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[allan1313]

That would be great news.....just wish I could believe it

Same here. I want the SII so bad. Wish it would hit already. I honestly could even live with a 3G version if it came down to it.

That doesn't logically follow at all. Samsung GS3 could very well be completely redesigned, or messed up or be a 2kg brick... pretty much anything at all Samsung wants. Latching onto names is something the Apple camp does
