Samsung Galaxy S3 to be Unveiled at Special Event
Samsung will hold a special event in order to usher in the Galaxy S3 smartphone sometime before the summer of this year.
It was previously believed by many in the electronics sector that the company would unveil the follow-up handset to the "iPhone killer at this year's Mobile World Congress," but that information proved to be false when Samsung stated that it would probably push the unveiling forward.
"Samsung is looking forward to introducing and demonstrating exciting new mobile products at Mobile World Congress 2012," said a Samsung spokesperson in a recent statement. "The successor to the Galaxy S2 smartphone will be unveiled at a separate Samsung hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product."
