Galaxy S III-related rumors are flying thick and fast. A new report by CNET is a complete contrast to the previous one that promised a power packed device. The site is citing an UK telecom industry source who claims that the new Galaxy phone will be a “relatively minor update from S2.”
While the source didn’t divulge any specs, he did hint that it will mostly be on the lines of HTC One X. Another interesting feature is the eye tracking technology which will work in conjunction with the front-facing camera. For instance, the camera will detect when the user is looking at the phone and will keep the display on and will turn if off if he’s looking away. This feature sounds nifty but implementation will remain be the key.
The final piece of info claimed by CNET is that the phone won’t be known as Galaxy S III. Now this is one piece we’ve heard as well. The phone is known as ‘Bali’ internally but according to one our moles, it may or may not retail as Galaxy Next.
Samsung will unwrap the device on May 3 in London.

Samsung KNOW that Apple will be releasing the iPhone 5 this year, so they decide to release a minor upgrade to compete with it?
Pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells.

Samsung know that they’re not Apple, they can’t make a minor update while HTC and LG release their top quad-core phones. And, about the name, I’ve noticed that the announcement will be 3 May, 5/3. Doesn’t the date seem S3?

cnet is a joke. doesn’t matter what Samsung knows or not, apple cheerleaders will buy what ever apple puts out there cause first of all they don’t have a choice, and even if apple put out a device made out of shit and call it iShit, the iLoosers will still buy it, etc…
