Some suggestions around that the SGIII will in fact have a modern waterproof coating technology.

One of the newer materials available to cover internal components of electronic devices like mobile phones is HZO, a coating which provides a water resistant barrier.

As far as I can see, the rumours have originated from the the maker of HZO who suggested that a large Korean electronics company showed interest in their product.

Of course, this by no way means that it is the Galaxy S3 or even Samsung but some industry observers have argued that effective waterproofing of mobile phone technology is fast becoming realistic and affordable.

It remains to be seen just how realistic these rumours are.

The near certainties about the Galaxy S3 at the moment are that the release date will be this year, that Samsung has earmarked the hadnset as a major brand release for 2012 and considers the strongest drawcard in the competition with iPhone.

There have been many recent reports on many sites that have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be revealed on 22 March in France.

Just wanted to put a stop to this rumours as Samsung has released official word that the event will not be about any new upcoming products to be released. Also, as reported earlier the phone will not be released the the mobile phone congress at end of this month.

While it is still not absolutely certain the phone will not be released at either of these events, it makes it very unlikely.

It is hard to say when the Galaxy S3 will finally be released but we are sticking to our intial predictions listed in the other section of this website.

But don’t worry, the release day is coming and we will have it covered.

Well, as an official announcement on the release of the S3 gets closer, the rumours are quite literally hitting the fan, with many realistic (and not so realistic) specs being bandied about all over the internet.

In the last quarter, Samsung has sold six million more smartphones than Apple with the company understandably expecting even better figures from the Galaxy S3.

There are a few whispers and suggestions that the smartphone will be announced at the Mobile World Congress in February of this year.

The Mobile World Congress is happening next month from the 27th of February through to the 1st of March 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.

Some of the features you have come up have been truly great. I will collate the ideas and try to contact Samsung with the data. And then, who knows, maybe some of them will be present in the S3!
