What to expect of the Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy S III booting

Samsung Galaxy S III booting

This post is just a rumor round-up ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S III announcement that is coming in a few hours.

The name is pretty much confirmed as the Samsung Galaxy S III, with a model number of GT-I9300. The boot-up screen can be seen above. The Galaxy S III will come initially in white and blue.

The form factor is expected to be similar to the Galaxy S II, but bigger. Different rumors suggest that the screen will be around 4.6 to 4.8 inches, together with a 720p Super AMOLED HD+. The pixel arrangement on the screen will be in a RGB-matrix arrangement, instead of the Pentile-matrix that causes straight lines to be zigzag.

Speed-wise we’re getting a quad-core Exynos 4 Quad SoC in the international version, while the US bound version will run on a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.

The camera will be either 8 or 12-megapixels, with most rumors suggesting it will be the latter.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich together with the newest flavor of Samsung’s own TouchWiz is a pretty obvious choice as the operating system.

Samsung phasing down bada OS development

| May 3, 2012 07:18 UTC | no responses | source

Samsung bada

Eldar Murtazin has usually been quite well-informed in everything Samsung (and mobile in general). He is also the Editor in Chief of Mobile-Review. In his usual mobile industry intelligence post made yesterday, he revealed that Samsung is ending development of their own bada OS. Development will be phased down gradually with a full halt at the end of this year.

Neither Bing or Google did a good job at translating the original post, so those of you that speak Russian can head over to this page for a better read.

Thanks for the heads-up, Joseph G.!

Sony ST21i Tapioca gets more specs confirmed in benchmark report

Sony ST21i Tapioca benchmark

Sony ST21i Tapioca benchmark

Last week we saw a very low-end Sony device leaked. Back then it was just an image of the ST21i Tapioca. Today we get something more, with specs in the form of a NenaMark2 benchmark report.

This report sheet shows that the ST21i Tapioca will come with a display resolution of 480×320, an 800 MHz Qualcomm processor + Adreno 200 GPU, and running Android 4.0.3. That is confirmed, but rumors say that this spec sheet will continue with a 3.2-inch screen, 512MB of RAM, and a 3MP camera.

I’m impressed that this low-end device runs Android 4.0. Will this be one of the cheapest Android 4.0 devices out there? Sit back and wait for an announcement!

SCH-I535 UAProf

SCH-I535 UAProf

Tomorrow is the day when Samsung announces the Galaxy S3. There have been a lot of rumors of this device, and all seem to have different sources and different specs.

The general consensus seem to be that the international version will get quad-core support in the form of Samsung’s own Exynos 4 Quad, while the US version being a dual-core version running on a Qualcomm SoC. The most recent to indicate that the US version will, in fact, be just dual-core comes is from a user agent profile for what is likely Verizon Wireless’ version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. This UAProf shows a Samsung SCH-I535 running on Qualcomm’s MSM8960, which again is more widely known as the Krait or Snapdragon S4.

Just one more day until the official announcement, stay tuned!
