Galaxy S3 coming in April?

**islandguy808** · 01-25-2012, 08:56 AM

I didn't know where to ask this since there isn't a Galaxy S3 forum yet. The link below says it will be released in April 2012.I'm ready to bail on my Blackberry and can upgrade at any time. ATT says the Galaxy S2 HD is "coming in the next few months".Whats the likelyhood the S3 will come to ATT? I'd hate to get the S2 HD only to have the S3 released shortly after.

**WeGlobal** · 01-25-2012, 09:05 AM

They are probably trying to still get some life out of the S2 if they are releasing a HD version of it. It makes perfect sense for AT&T to get the S3, or Skyrocket III since they had the S2. That April release date "rumor" is most likely for the UK only, based on what I have read so far, and I would be surprised if the S3 was released before September in the US, IF they follow the same release schedule as the S2 last year (North America was the last continent to have the S2).

All I know is that I'm still rocking my OG EVO and the S3, without a doubt, will be my next phone, whenever it is released!!!

Man I had been a diehard BB user up until last year when ATT took forever to release the Bold 9900. I finally got fed up with waiting. And here I am again....waiting waiting waiting....

I agree with Mr. Jackson the april date will most likely be a UK/otherplacesthatarenttheus and the us will see it in late summer or early fall. It is the worst part about following phone news, as soon as the phone you have been waiting for comes out the successor is announced and is sooo much cooler. Just pick a device and commit, I still rock my OG Incredible and couldn't be happier... ok maybe if i had 4G but whateva.

**WeGlobal** · 01-25-2012, 09:20 AM

LOL, I had the BB World Edition 8830 up until 2010 then I ditched it when BB stopped updating it. Thought about getting the iPhone 5, but I had to remember how much I hated expensive Apple products. If the S3 is almost everything these websites say it is, I am going to be very happy with it for months to come.

**islandguy808** · 01-25-2012, 09:24 AM

I don't mind waiting for an Android phone. I had secretly wanted one when everyone at work started getting them....but being the diehard I was I kept defending BBs. So yeah...I'll wait, by the time the S2 HD is released there may be more real news about the S3 and I can decide then if I'll wait even longer.

Considering Europe is GSM, I'd guess ATT and Tmobile for sure.

I've had my BB Storm for 3 years now, and I want the G3. I'm still close to picking up the Nexus, but might hold off.

Very tempting, but since the rumored S3 is supposed to be released soon, I'm not sure whether to hold off or not. Damn, lol.

**Razor09** · 02-08-2012, 01:22 PM

Well I've been enjoying the Nexus for about a week now.

**method526** · 02-09-2012, 12:13 AM

wish verizon would have the new galaxy phones. they're a huge hit in korea!

**eblackman** · 02-09-2012, 08:42 AM

Why is the USA always the last to get most of the cutting edge phones?

Really, we got them before you guys?

**finalforce** · 02-15-2012, 07:27 AM

Hopefully it won't be too expensive!

**islandguy808** · 02-17-2012, 08:19 AM

ATT I just don't get it! Still no mention yet of when SII Skyrocket HD will be released. All the while rumors are swirling about a March 22nd annoucement regarding the SIII.

By the time ATT gets around to releasing the Skyrocket HD no one will want it!

**Samuelg900** · 03-01-2012, 04:40 PM

Really cool

**prinsesa8** · 03-01-2012, 06:35 PM

Can't wait..I really want the SIII as well.

**WeGlobal** · 03-03-2012, 11:55 AM

I predict it will be release anytime from late July to Mid-August. Right around the time of the London Olympics since Samsung is a major worldwide partner of the Olympics.

**dominiquelang** · 03-06-2012, 09:33 PM

I think the Galaxy S3 will be worth the wait. As long as my phone doesn't break down before it comes out, that is.

**samanthanielquel** · 03-12-2012, 03:46 AM

The Samsung Galaxy S3 release date has been confirmed. It will release in April 2012.

Link please

I'm assuming your looking at the info given by ZDnet which Samsung has already denied and stated that they will announce a date on their twitter, @samsungtomorrow, when they have decided on one/decide to tell us.

Where did you get that info from?

**kenji117** · 03-14-2012, 10:31 AM

Turns out an April release is possible...assuming the new rumor is correct.

A twitter update posted by eldar murtazin stated:

SGS3 finalized and go to production. Preorders from operators/retailers are really highest for all galaxy line history (finally - ceramic)

Sammobile drew the following conclusions from the post:

Samsung started MASS-production Galaxy S3.
The Galaxy S3 will be a expensive phone.
Samsung choosed high-end materials.
The Galaxy S3 is made by a ceramic casing, the phone will be only 7mm thick!
The price will be around the same level of the new iPhone.
This phone will be out in Russia around June!
Remember Samsung is official sponsor of Olympic Games 2012!

If the phone is actually in mass production I would then assume it would just need to go through the FCC at which point it should be ready to launch. Hopefully we find out more tomorrow.
