While some Galaxy S3 owners are still waiting for an update to Android 4.1.1 by their carrier, Samsung is working hard on the latest update of Jelly Bean, Android 4.1.2
According to the latest rumors, Samsung has almost finished with the work on Android 4.1.2.
Next to the usual stability and performance improvements, the multi window mode will make its way to the Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2. This mode will allow you to run two programs next to each other.
GSMarena has received an anonymous tip showing the inventory system of a company called Carphone Warehouse. On the picture taken from the inventory there is visible that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available in blue and white.
This is not the first time we have heard about these colors, since the invite for the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event also featured the colors blue and white.
We have heard various rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S3 might have a ceramic back in the past. If true, this will be a great improvement from the plastic back the Galaxy S2 used. According to various users the back of the Galaxy S2 felt a bit cheap.
A few days ago, Eldar Murtazin (who is known for his great connections in the industry) posted the picture you see above. With it he posted the following message:
Love white glossy finish on phones.
The Korean portal Nate has interviewed a Samsung manager, giving us some new and interesting information on the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The curved design of the Galaxy Nexus
The phone will feature 5 capactive buttons on the bottom. Next to the buttons the Samsung Galaxy S2 had, the phone will get two new buttons. One for speach recognition and one for Samsungs own cloud service, called S-Cloud.
But that is not all we got to learn from the interview.
While Samsung has announced that they plan to release a successor of the Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung has never mentioned a name for this device. With the Galaxy S and Galaxy S2, it seems more than logical that the new phone will be called the Samsung Galaxy S3.

However, on the invite for the Samsung Unpacked event on May 3rd, Samsung is talking about the “Next Galaxy“. Could this next galaxy be the Samsung Galaxy S3? We still have no idea.
A few days ago, a member of XDA-developers found something interesting on the Samsung website. Could this be proof that the Samsung Galaxy S3 does exist?
Yesterday we wrote a post about why we still don’t know anything about the Samsung Galaxy S3. We have reasons to believe Samsung is using a generic looking case surrounding Samsung Galaxy S3 test devices to prevent its real look to be reveiled before May 3rd.

Today, a picture of a device was leaked by Gizmodo Brazil. Could this be the “Next Galaxy” in disguise? We have reasons to be believe that this device is indeed a test model for the Samsung Galaxy S3
A lot of the rumors we have heard the last few months have been about the Samsung Galaxy S3′s display. Most of those rumors where made by anonymous sources, all saying something different. This is why we still have no idea what kind of display the Galaxy S3 will use.
But on the 10th of April the OLED Association made some interesting statements. In a news report on their website they claim that the Galaxy S3 will feature an 4.6” Super AMOLED HD Plus display.
The reason this is interesting, is because the OLED Association is reputable source. They work close with Samsung (for example: the vice president of Samsung is part of the OLED-A) and other companies producing OLED’s.
According to the latest rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S3 will support the latest generation of cell phone telecommunication standards. The successor of HSDPA is called Long Term Evolution (LTE) and currently mobile networks all over the world are adopting this new standard, allowing faster data transfer.
We already posted that carriers all around the world are currently testing the Samsung Galaxy S3, this period of testing is normally when details of upcoming phones get leaked. In the past, we have seen pictures and even hand-on video’s show up because of these carrier tests.
Unfortunately for us, Samsung has done a great job keeping things secret about the Galaxy S3. Finally, we have some interesting news thanks to these carrier tests to share with you!
Eldar Murtazin, known for having great connections in the mobile industry tweeted the following message a couple of days ago.
Eldar Murtazin and the tweet that started the rumors
Although the tweet doesn’t say much (Eldar is cryptical in a lot of his tweets), it immediately spread around the internet, could Eldar hint on the announcement date of the Galaxy S3?
The location (London) has showed up numerous times in various rumors as the city where the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released, but the May 2 release date is new. Continue reading
This picture of the Samsung Galaxy S3 was supposedly leaked by an employee of some Polish carrier that is currently testing the Samsung Galaxy S3. Could this be the real deal, or is this yet another fake?
