As 2011 comes to a close, the drums for CES and MWC are beginning to beat more loudly. Korean site Etnews reports that Samsung may introduce its Galaxy S III phone at Mobile World Congress in February. Strangely, the site also claims that it will have 3D technology built into the screen, which is odd considering that the LG Thrill (Optimus 3D) and HTC Evo 3D both failed to capture any attention with their glasses-free 3D screens.
Other rumors point to a highly capable device. Phandroid recaps the rumored specs, which include a Super AMOLED Plus HD screen, a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 4G LTE connectivity, and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface overlayed on top of it. We imagine that the phone will come in many variations as well, much like the Galaxy S II, which was hand-tailored for every carrier in the United States, with each model looking slightly different.
So, are any of these rumors credible? We really don’t know. Samsung isn’t talking and MWC doesn’t start until Feb. 27 2012. More importantly, do any of you want a 3D phone? We’re pretty done with 3D.
My s2 last 15 hours easily, plus I got 2 extra battery, but when this phone play music use up lots of battery.

James, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. My Atrix (Dual-core) can last EASILY over a day and a half with tons of use.
Love my EVO 3d. Would never buy a phone without a 3d screen again. Apple hardware is always a Cpl years behind, although iphones are good for kids and senior citizens.
Preeeeaaaachhhh….
I prefer my phone to last longer than 8 hours on a charge.
3D screen on a phone….oh dear….gimmick ahoy. Ah well, as long as they get 3 hours out of the battery Android fans will be happy.
Why the hell does a PHONE need a quad-core?? Dev’s need to start developing applications to make full use of the Dual-cores on the market!
I’d prefer it w/o the 3-D.
Having seen the glasses free 3D screens i can tell you that I’m not a fan, and I can’t imagine Samsung putting that screen on it’s flagship phones. Maybe as a one off phone, but not the entire line. The other specs sound amazing though.
