Samsung Galaxy S3 Coming in April, Says Samsung Exec

The Samsung Galaxy S3 could be launching as early as next month, according to Samsung Electronics China leader Kim Young-ha.

Kim stated that Samsung could end up pushing the release of the smartphone forward a month in order to increase the sales of Samsung devices.

"So that you can increase sales of the Galaxy S2 plus the Galaxy Note that is already very popular in China, the organization is considering rescheduling the rollout of the Galaxy S3 from May to April," said Kim at Samsung's annual Samsung Forum 2012 in Beijing, China.
