Samsung Galaxy S III Possibly Coming Soon

Benvenuto! That’s how you’d welcome someone in Italian and was exactly what we had in mind when we got wind of a report from Italian tech site Telefonino.net claiming that Samsung has several Android devices lined up, ready for us to greet with Benvenuto! in the coming months.

One bears model number P6200, a 7-inch Honeycomb tablet with 1024×600 screen resolution believed to be the updated successor to the original Samsung Galaxy Tab. It allegedly carries support for HSPA+ networks, a 3-megapixel primary camera, and a 2-megapixel secondary camera for video calls. A Wi-Fi-only variant, model P6210, will also be reportedly produced. Interesting, huh?


But here’s more interesting: a 4.65-inch Android handset (with model number GT-I9250) is on the list–and it’s the only one on the list having Ice Cream Sandwich. Could this be the rumored Google Nexus Prime (Nexus 3, Nexus Plus)? If so, this confirms the suspicion that Samsung–rather than HTC or LG–will be producing Google’s flagship phone for Ice Cream Sandwich and we can probably see the device in as early as October.

The GT-I9250 reportedly comes not just with a 4.65-inch (1280×720) Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen but also a 5-megapixel camera and a presumably dual-core yet-unspecified processor (which is rumored to be a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 or 4460 running at a clock speed of at least 1.5 GHz up to 1.8 GHz).

A sibling, the GT-I9220, carries a bigger 5.3-inch touchscreen, although still sporting Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus screen technology at a screen resolution of 1280×820. This one’s hard to ignore, despite being given only Android 2.3 Gingerbread, because of its dual-core 1.4-GHz processor and 8-megapixel primary camera.

Another handset–the GT-I9210–with a smaller 4.5-inch 800×480 Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen also makes our hearts skip a few beats. Here’s why: it has 4G connectivity, 16 GB built-in storage, Wi-Fi b/g/n support, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, 8-megapixel primary shooter, 2-megapixel secondary camera, Full HD video capture ability, 1750-mAh battery, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Molto dolce! Could this gadget be the rumored Samsung Galaxy S III?
