A rumor has surfaced that Samsung could be announcing the Galaxy SIII, with a release date of April this year.  The announcement is said to occur at the Mobile World Congress this February.

As with previous Galaxy S models, you can expect some high-end specs and a very sleek device, possibly even a thinner model than the current Galaxy SII…..if that’s physically possible.

Specification-wise, it looks like this sucker will have a 1.5GHz quad-core processor along with a 12-megapixel camera. It will run the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system at launch, maybe even an updated version of the new OS.  The screen is expected to go closer to the edges making a smaller bezel around it.

Previous models of the Samsung Galaxy S have done extremely well in terms of sales.  In fact, the Galaxy S line has been the best selling smartphone family in the history of smartphone revenue.  We expect the next generation flagship Samsung smartphone to follow that path.

We’ll have a full report shortly of this monster after the Mobile World Congress.
