The Samsung Galaxy S3 (aka S III) should need no introduction. It’s the latest record-breaking Android flagship device from the world’s #2 smartphone manufacturer. Bringing more than just upgraded specs to the table, the Galaxy S3 is the fastest-selling Android smartphone to date with an estimated 19 million units to have shipped by the end of Q3 of 2012.
There have been a multitude of rumors flying about regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone. Screen size, network support, processing power, casing material and more have all been speculated over excessively in the lead-up to its expected release. So which rumors are true and which are false? Of course it’s really impossible to say for sure, but we’ve collected some of the more popular bits of gossip and paired them with some explanations as to why or why not they’re plausible possibilities.
There have been almost as many rumors running around the web about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III than about the soon-to-be-launched iPad 3. Now, finally, we’re getting some pretty viable information about what we can expect from Samsung’s next flagship device.
While we’re now pretty certain that the Samsung Galaxy S III will not be seen at the upcoming Mobile World Congress even in Barcelona, rumors are starting to circulate about a late April/early May release. Whether or not the news is true is anyone’s guess right now, but it certainly doesn’t seem too far-fetched. Although it’s true that Samsung did recently release the Galaxy Nexus, it’d be within past trends for Samsung to not consider that as a suitable flagship device and roll out a more specifically Samsung-branded Galaxy S II sometime soon.

The unfortunate truth about big expos like the MWC is that it’s almost impossible to separate rumor from truth in the lead up. As such we can’t give any definite predictions, but here are some of the more viable rumors we’ve heard floating around the web in recent months.
