The successor of Samsung’s flagship Android-based Galaxy S II might not make an official appearance before April this year, some of the latest reports around the Internet suggest.

Samsung has previously confirmed that the mobile phone, supposedly called Galaxy S III will not be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year, but did not offer info on when the device might be launched.

New reports, however, suggest that it could arrive in April, roughly two months after the MWC closes its gates in Barcelona.

Packing a quad-core application processor inside, along with a Super AMOLED Plus HD display and 4G LTE connectivity, the handset will prove a true successor for the last year flagship phone.

Moreover, the Galaxy S III is expected to arrive on shelves with Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, the same as Galaxy Nexus did last year.
