Naast de opvolger van de immens populaire Galaxy S II, die vorig jaar tijdens het Mobile World Congress gelanceerd werd, zou Samsung ook nieuwe toestellen met 3D-ondersteuning lanceren. Dat weet de Zuid-Koreaanse nieuwssite ETNews.

Verwacht wordt dat de nieuwe smartphone uit de Galaxy S-lijn een quadcore-processor krijgt, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, een scherm met HD-resolutie en mogelijk optionele 3D-ondersteuning. De Galaxy S III zou in het tweede kwartaal van 2012 op de markt komen. (bron:ZDNet)

De i9100 is de basis en bevat een Super AMOLED Plus-scherm en Samsung’s eigen Exynos 4210-processor,  terwijl de i9103 een Super Clear LCD en nVidia Tegra 2-processor bevat. Dat de i9103 een minder indrukwekkend scala aan specificaties heeft is te danken aan tekorten; de Exynos 4210-processor en het Super AMOLED-plus scherm kunnen niet snel genoeg geproduceerd worden om aan de vraag te voldoen. In Nederland word de i9100 verkocht, wat betekent dat de Samsung Galaxy S II de eerste telefoon in Nederland is met Samsung’s dual-core processor. De Galaxy S II wordt geleverd met Android 2.3.3, de nieuwste versie van het mobiele OS.
