At some point, the mad quest to develop the thinnest mobile phone on the marketplace will finish — but not this day.
Samsung is reportedly aiming tomake its upcoming Galaxy S III flagship gadget just 7 millimeters heavy, a entire one.49mm thinner than the Galaxy S II and two.3mm thinner than the iPhone 4S, in accordance to the Korean website ETNews.
The cellphone could debut as soon as this May possibly, the site claims, though as is usually the case with early telephone rumors, I advise using this report with a healthful assisting of salt. Samsung currently confirmed that the telephone won’t be creating an look at Cellular Globe Congress in Barcelona afterwards this 30 days (a lot to the dismay of this reporter, as I’ll be attending the event for VentureBeat).
While it’s great to see Samsung regularly pushing limits with its hardware, I’m hoping the organization will devote as much time upgrading the total amount of polish from its flagship units as properly. The Galaxy S II is a beautiful phone to behold, but in the hand it even now feels plasticky and insubstantial, a dilemma that has plagued Samsung since its initial Galaxy S telephones. To some degree, Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus feels greater, but even that gadget has as well considerably plastic for my preferences.
And in spite of the primarily thin situation, the Galaxy S III will nevertheless feature a somewhat protruding eight-megapixel digital camera like the previous design, ETNews studies. That’s just a truth of lifestyle with ultra-thin phones, and it’s 1 of my greatest annoyances with smartphones these days.
