A source from an insider in the UK telecoms industry suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be a minor upgrade, just like the iphone 4s was from its previous model. In my opinion if it does not get 1gb of ram and a 1.5ghz quad-core processor,  then the upgrade will not be good enough to fight off the competition from newly released phones such as the HTC One X and from the soon to be released iphone 5, which is rumoured to have some of those specifications.

We don’t have long to wait until we find out if the Samsung Galaxy S3 is going to be a worthy upgrade or not, because rumours suggest that it is likely to be launched on May the 3rd at a London press event.

Invites have been sent out from Samsung for a Samsung official event, which is being held on the 3rd of May in Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London. The chances of the Galaxy S3 being released their is very high.

The phone is rumoured to have amazing cutting edge specs, such as ICS, retina desplay measuring at least 4.6 inches that matches apples attempt at making one.

Its likely to have a 16 mp camera, but whether the image quality will match remains to be seen.

A 1.5 ghz dual core is also likely too, which will make it one of the fastest phones in the world. 

It could have other amazing features like Nfc technology, but nothing has yet been officialy anounced.

Sony is starting soon to roll out ICS to its Xperia devices.

Its coming to the Arc, Arc s, Neo V and the Xperia Ray.

But their is no confirmation concerning the UK release date. But as is the case with Android the timing of the release will depend on when the carriers will release it. But it is likely to start being released from May onwards.
