The news and rumours about the highly awaited Galaxy S III keeps making its way online. The first bit of information of the handset arrived late last month with the news that it would be expected by February of this year. At the time, there were a few specifications as well. Later on, an image leaked with the EXIF data showing a Samsung handset with the name I9500, however, in all likelihood, this may not be the Galaxy S III as the details show a 5 megapixel camera. Samsung, would not downgrade their specifications for their upcoming flagship handset especially since the predecessor, the Galaxy S II sports an 8 megapixel sensor. A few days back it was then reported that Russian tech blogger Eldar Murtazin indicated that he had firsthand experience with the handset and said it would be launched by April this year and rumours pegged the handset to be unveiled at the Mobile World Conference event in Barcelona which will take place next month. However, indications of an announcement were quickly quashed as Samsung views US as a major market for their handsets and if they announce it at MWC, then the gap between launch date in the US and the announcement would be long, which the brand hopes to avoid. The latest bit of information comes from a report by Pocketnow where they have come across an image which shows the possible model number of the Galaxy S III on an official Samsung website.Click here for full story
