Samsung is finalizing tests on Galaxy S3

Everyone in the know should have been anticipating the probably launch of the next generation Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 – a phone which is much anticipated similar to the equally expected Apple’s successor to the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 or perhaps the new iPhone.

According to a South Korean news publication AsiaE, Samsung has started testing the Galaxy S3 with South Korean mobile carriers and the process could take two months to complete.

Samsung has been hoping to get the testing done earlier than the 60-day period but proved to be a difficult task to accomplish since the S3 is packed with new hardware.

The company came a bit late to launch a quad-core device as compared to rival smartphone makers such as LG, HTC, Huawei and ZTE.

The S3 will be packed with new features such a quad-core processor, a large 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 X 720 pixels, runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, wireless charging, 4G LTE and NFC, ceramic casing, 2GB of RAM, high capacity onboard storage and a microSD slot.

Sources close to Samsung also claimed the device is among the slimmest smartphone available in the market. In addition it is also claimed that it has low SAR (specific absorption rate) value that is essentially a low radiation emitted by the device which will be good news to users. The final highlight of the device is an astounding 12MP camera complete with a CMOS sensor.

According to the sources again, the device could be launch at a special Samsung event a few months from now. In the Malaysian scene, the device will usually be available for purchase without the normal Telco carriers (unlocked) or with contracts from carriers such as Digi, Maxis, Celcom and U Mobile.
