Samsung will launch other "interesting devices" at the event

Samsung’s next flagship device, the long rumored Samsung Galaxy S III, will not make an official appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month, the latest reports out there suggest.

Apparently, the South Korean mobile phone maker did have plans to launch the Android 4.0-based handset at the event, but decided to push it back for unknown reasons.

Now, the flagship Ice Cream Sandwich handset is expected to become official later in 2012, but within the first six months.

Some suggest that Samsung was planning on minimizing the gap between the handset’s international launch and its arrival on shelves in the United States, but confirmation on this has yet to surface.

Instead of Galaxy S III, Samsung is set to unveil to the world other “interesting stuff.” Speculation on new tablets or Windows Phones in the pipeline arose, but nothing is certain at the moment.
