Samsung Galaxy S III launch reportedly confirmed for April

The latest in a long line of Sasmung Galaxy S3 rumours, new reports have suggested that the Android 4.0 handset will land in April

A glaring omission from the recent MWC 2012 conference in Barcelona, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is expected to be just weeks away from entering the realms of reality with new reports hinting at an April Samsung Galaxy S3 release date.

Set to take yet another leaf out of Apple’s book, the new reports, which come via Korean gadget blog ZDNet, have suggested Samsung will release the Galaxy S3 in April with the flagship Android handset to hit stores just a couple of weeks after being formally unveiled.

Earlier this week the Samsung Galaxy S3 specs were claimed to have leaked online with the new release date rumours, which cite personnel at Samsung’s global marketing agency Cheil Worldwide, sparking further speculation around an imminent arrival for the eagerly awaited handset.

Far from the first time the third-generation Galaxy S handset has had its claimed specs splashed across the web, the latest rumours, which came courtesy of gadget blog Boy Genius Report, suggested the iPhone 4S rival will land with a 1.5GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor and Google’s latest mobile operating system, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Further marking the Samsung Galaxy S3 out as the leader of the smartphone market, the latest reports have suggested the handset will boast a 4.8-inch display with a stunning Full HD 1080p resolution and a film friendly 16:9 aspect ratio.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Release Date

Originally widely expected to be the showpiece of MWC 2012, Samsung confirmed earlier this month that it would hold off the Samsung Galaxy S3 release until later in the year.

“The successor to the GALAXY S II smartphone will be unveiled at a separate Samsung-hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product,” an official spokesperson for the Korean tech giant announced.

Since Samsung’s disappointing revelation, the Galaxy S3 launch has become a thing of much speculation with latest reports suggesting Samsung will out its new flagship handset in April.
