The company may also announce a new Galaxy Tab slate

Although all rumors are pointing to a May 3 announcement for Galaxy S III, there's a chance that Samsung's event set for next month will have a different star.

Samsung Denmark claims the South Korean handset maker will officially introduce the Galaxy S II Plus on May 3 and not the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S III.

At least that's what their teaser hints. Just above the time and date of the launch event there's a small “+” sign, while to the right we can see the rounded shapes of a phone.

Add to that the recent “previews” of the alleged Galaxy S III, which might be in fact the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. That would explain why the latest leaks mention an 8-megapixel camera and a 4.6-inch display.

Moreover, a Mali-400 MP graphics processing unit that is said to complement the quad-core CPU would surely make it undergeared.

On the other hand Samsung may launch more devices during the press event, though they might cannibalize their sales. In this regard, rumor has it that the handset vendor plans to unveil a new Galaxy Tab device, along with the Galaxy S III or the Galaxy S II Plus.

We're not sure why Samsung would want to announce another Galaxy Tab slate, even though the company is still struggling to release the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1), (7.0) and Galaxy Note 10.1.

According to the latest hearsay, Samsung will unveil a 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab tablet with dual-core processor. That's probably because the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) is getting a quad-core processor instead.

While these rumors have yet to be confirmed, it seems logic for Samsung to unveil two Galaxy family products at the same time, especially that they're not top tier devices. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
