Samsung's UAE website appears to show off a model number belonging to the Samsung Galaxy S III. According to some analysis from Pocketnow, the Samsung Galaxy S series used product numbers in the i90xx area. The Samsung Galaxy S II used numbers in the i91xx range and the Samsung GALAXY Nexus uses i9250 which means that the i93xx range should be for the Samsung Galaxy S III. And sure enough, the GT-i9300 shows up on the UAE site.
Is the ST-i300 the Samsung Galaxy S III?
So when might we see this much anticipated device? As you know, Samsung says it is weighing its options about whether or not it will show off the handset at next month's MWC. The theory is that the Korean based manufacturer does not want to repeat the 7 month period it took from the time the Galaxy S II was introduced at MWC last year and its eventual launch in the states.
During the company's conference call following its latest earnings report, Samsung executive Younghee Lee said that the Galaxy S III might be released at MWC (hear for yourself below). Let's hope that Samsung agrees to pack the phone on its trip to Spain, because you can cut the anticipation for the phone with a knife.
And of course, if the Samsung Galaxy S III is introduced at MWC, you will find out about it right here. Plan on keeping your eyes glued to phoneArena for our MWC coverage. The 2012 MWC starts February 27th and runs through March 1st in Barcelona.
