Samsung Galaxy S3 - Stellar Surprise

When it comes to smartphones, more often than not it’s the iPhone that has the world soiling itself in excitement. In 2012 however, it is the Samsung Galaxy S3 that has phone enthusiasts scouring the internet on an hourly basis in the vague hope of finding a release date.
The Korean technology giants Samsung first hinted that the phone might be unveiled at MWC 2012. This has subsequently been proven to be false, with the phone’s release being pushed back till later this year, most likely at a date close to that of its UK launch.
In fact, not only have we yet to learn when exactly the new Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released, we also know very few hard facts about its features. So why the excitement? Well the Samsung S2 was a great piece of kit that won rave reviews. With the Galaxy S3 rumored to blow its predecessor out of the water, it’s little wonder that people are getting excited.
So what are the rumors telling us?
For one, the S3 is rumored to have a screen that will put every other smartphone to shame. Measuring in at 4.65 inches with a HD super AMOLED screen and a fabulous 1280 x720p resolution, just imagine the quality you’ll experience as you browse the web and watch videos.
Even better, the Galaxy S3 is expected to come with full HD 1080p video recording. Its spec will put many standalone video recorders to shame. If you’re a budding ‘on-the-go’ film-maker then this could be the perfect tool for creating arty flicks.
With over 32Gb of internal memory reputed to come as standard with the S3, there’ll be plenty of space for storing video and audio content. There’s also talk of a 12MP camera, which will be a welcome addition. Of course, there will also be all the usual integrated social media apps ready to upload your photos straight to Facebook or Twitter.
Also on the cards is 2MB of RAM and a 2GHz duel-core processor – although some are even talking of a quad-core processor, which may just be wishful thinking.
Rumors are all well and good, but when are the general public going to know for sure? Well, for the moment Samsung seems to be enjoying all the speculation. There are even websites dedicated to covering the gossip and speculation, with some saying the phone could land as soon as April.
Much like a Hollywood celeb, the phone is suffering from fake photographs that are circulating on the internet, all claiming to be leaked press shots of the S3. You know you’ve made it when people are going to the bother of doctoring photographs.
With this amount of excitement and speculation over a Samsung, you can just imagine what it’s going to be like when there’s a sniff of the Apple iPhone 5 being released. Until then, the S3 looks set to steal the crown of Most Anticipated Smartphone.
