Windows Phone variant of Galaxy S 3 may be unveiled by October


There has been a lot of talk surrounding the yet unannounced flagship smartphone from Samsung. The last we heard about this handset was that it would feature a 4.8-inch display, as opposed to the previously believed 4.6-inch one that was expected to feature here. With the device set to be unveiled in a few short hours, we will finally get to know everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy S 3 smartphone. Samsung is preparing to launch a handset that is exactly similar in design to the S 3, but will run on the upcoming Windows Phone 8 platform and will be launched under the name, Focus S II. 




Samsung is planning for their first Windows Phone 8 device. It looks like Samsung is going to be milking their upcoming Galaxy S III for all it’s worth, as the Korean smartphone maker plans to use Galaxy S III (hardware and design) as the basis for its new Windows Phone 8 device, currently dubbed, the Samsung Focus S II. Samsung is supposedly going to make the Focus S line the “Galaxy S” of Windows Phones.” The source goes on to state that due to the changes in the Windows Phone 8 OS, Samsung will be able to get the maximum out of the S 3’s faster processor, better resolution as well as LTE capabilities. The overall design of the next Focus S II, will be very similar to the Galaxy S III, but with Windows Phone branding, a dedicated camera button and a slight difference on how the buttons would be laid out. The handset will go on sale by October.


Here is a quick look at some of the specifications of the Samsung Focus S II:


  • Windows Phone 8 OS
  • 4.7-inch HD display
  • Dual/ quad core processor depending on region
  • 12-megapixel rear camera
  • 2 megapixel front-facing camera
  • Dedicated camera button
  • NFC capabilities
  • Samsung Cloud Support
  • LTE support
