Previous Galaxy S models were launched around the same timeframe

Soon after the rumors on a possible launch of a Galaxy S III successor at the Mobile World Congress next year started to emerge on the web, Samsung took its time to debunk them.

The South Korean mobile phone maker took it to Twitter to say that these rumors are not true, without offering further details on the matter.

However, with previous Galaxy S models launched around the MWC (except maybe for Galaxy S III, which was unveiled only in May), chances are that the rumor will actually pan out.

This is not the first time that handset vendors deny plans for specific hardware months before releasing it, yet it doesn’t mean that the company will actually release the upcoming device as suggested.

We’re still about half a year away from the event in Barcelona, and confirmation on Samsung’s plans might not emerge until early next year.
