Samsung Galaxy S III launch: What we know so far

Samsung is going to unveil its much-anticipated Galaxy S III smartphone today at a press event in London. Set to start at 2330hrs IST, this event will finally lift the lid of the Galaxy S II successor.

Despite the blogs and technology websites going into overdrive with rumours and leaks in the last few months, we hardly know any confirmed details about this smartphone. Samsung has only revealed one detail about Galaxy S III so-far in the form of Exynos 4 Quad processor, which will be a part of this device.

Even the latest teaser from the Korean manufacturer has done little more than creating hype about the phone.

Rumour roundup

Various leaks in the recent few weeks have suggested that Galaxy S III will sport an S II kind of form-factor, just a little bigger. We have seen several contradicting leaks on the display front, but most of them have talked about a 4.7/4.8-inch HD display.

The presence of Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich is also pretty much certain about the smartphone, and we expect to see a revamped version of company's Touchwiz skin for the smartphone.

Coming to the camera, the rumours have it that we might see a 12-megapixels sensor on the Galaxy S III, which wouldn't be surprising considering the megapixel wars in the recent times.

Connectivity options are expected to be pretty much standard, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, DLNA, NFC, and HSPA+.

There are hardly any believable leaks for the storage, RAM or exact model number of Galaxy S III.

With the actual event just 14-hours away, we would not go too much in the rumours and wait for the official announcement to hear more about the smartphone from the company itself.

Make sure to check back for all the juicy details about the phone, you can also watch the webcast of the press event directly on company's Facebook page, teaser website or the Unpacked app on any Android device.
