Samsung Galaxy S III to Invade London on May 3

It’s official. Samsung will unveil the long-awaited follow-up to its popular Galaxy S II smartphone early next month. Today we received an invitation to a Samsung event scheduled for May 3 in London. Although Samsung doesn’t specifically mention the Galaxy S III in the invitation, it does ask attendees to “Come and meet the next Galaxy.”

And since the company just launched the latest versions of its Galaxy Tab tablets and Galaxy Player media players, there’s really nothing other than the Galaxy S III that Samsung could be announcing.

Rumors have been circulating for months about the next flagship Galaxy S phone, and given the astounding popularity of the Galaxy S II, it’s no wonder. Display specs for Samsung’s next flagship smartphone have been a topic of debate across the web, but most rumors have the phone coming with a 4.7 or 4.8-inch screen with either a 720p or 1080p resolution, respectively.

As for its processor, it’s widely believed that the S III will come packing a new, 1.5-GHz quad-core version of Samsung’s Exynos processor. Other rumored specs include 1GB of RAM and 4G LTE data connectivity. As for its operating system, its seems to be a foregone conclusion that the S III will come with Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich, especially when you consider the fact that Samsung was Google’s launch partner for the OS.

Rumor has it that the S III will also come with an 8 to 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3 to 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Since the Galaxy S III is a hugely important phone for Samsung, we suspect that the company will stuff the phone with the more powerful 12-megapixel and 2-megapixel cameras to help it compete with the likes of HTC’s Titan II, which packs a 16-megapixel rear-facing cam.

Other rumblings have the Galaxy S III coming with a cool wireless inductive charging setup. Of course, like the rest of the aforementioned specs, the wireless charging is just a rumor.

Check out our rumor roundup for everything we (think) we know about the Galaxy S III, and stay tuned for all of the latest news on the Galaxy S III as it breaks live from Samsung’s event next month

Leaked: Take a Peek at ‘London,’ First BlackBerry 10 Smartphone

Want to glimpse the future of BlackBerry? Today, CrackBerry posted a leaked presentation slide that features the first look  at a smartphone running the BlackBerry 10 operating system, an upcoming RIM platform that has been no show all tell for months now.

With RIM’s drastic loss of market share in North America and the corporation’s fresh shifts of power, the beleaguered company could use a round of positive buzz. If something were to deliver such a feat, it’s London, the code-named device pictured in the leaked document.

Though BlackBerry teased London and other upcoming phones in a roadmap presentation earlier this month, concrete details remain scarce. But CrackBerry learned the phone is undergoing tests with a 1.5-GHz dual-core TI OMAP 5 processor. The site also surmises the phone could be sold through carriers with CDMA networks. That would make London a vehicle for Verizon or Sprint here in the U.S., but it is expected the phone will see the light of day in the UK before rising over our shores.

Until then, we can only appreciate what’s teased in the leak. For instance, the all-touch interface that eschews the BlackBerry keyboard in favor of something reminiscent of modern devices from Android, Apple, and Windows Phone. Also the back and front facing cameras, and an interface that anchors some navigation to the bottom of the touchscreen. If we made $10,000 gentleman’s bets, we’d also wager that the edges, top, and bottom of London will feature a soft-touch, rubber material, but it’s much too early to gamble. 

In a fit of mistaken identity, London’s geography was thought to be revealed in a separate leak last year. While that phone was capped at the top and bottom with a steel-ish material and wore sharply tappered edges, today’s feature has more rounded curves and an all black outfit.  

BlackBerry has asked the real London to please stand up on September 2012, so we’ll wait until later to learn more about the true premier BlackBerry 10 phone.
