Samsung’s much-anticipated Galaxy S III smartphone is likely to be "thinner than ever" and will arrive in May this year, reports South Korea’s Electronic Times News.

According to the publication, the follow-up to the successful Galaxy S II device will be just 7mm thick, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market. Electronic Times News says the use of printed circuit board technology will allow the phone to be 1.9mm or 20 percent thinner than its predecessor.

Other features rumoured for the Galaxy S III include a quad-core processor, Super AMOLED HD screen and the latest Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Android OS.

Electronic Times News also reports that there will be several versions of the S III released in 2012, with one model touting a more powerful camera and another featuring 3D capability.

The next generation: the Samsung Galaxy S III in concept.

 Concept Phones, a blog that specializes in conceptual renderings of devices, has intercepted a couple of images and some details sent in from a fellow by the name of Ivan Ilchenko who reported them appearing on Samsung’s “official” page on a Russian social network by the name of Vkontakte.

The device concept may well be the first smartphone to be dual-booting Android and Bada OS right out of the box.

Specifications:

Front-facing 2 megapixel camera, availability of 32 or 64 GB internal memory, and a microSDXC slot for memory expansion. This device is said to come with a stylus like the Galaxy Note, but doesn’t appear to have the same onboard slot for carrying said pen.

USB 3.0 capability, and 4G LTE connectivity.

A quad-core Samsung Exynos 4412 1.5GHz processor, and the whole thing works with TouchWiz 5.0.

“Samsung Russia said this is not a real phone. "The mock-ups, published in the article on Concept-Phones.com, were posted in the “Imagined Phones” section of “Samsung Phones Owners’ Club” group on VKontakte.ru. This section contains unofficial artworks and designs, created by group members, and are products of pure imagination, sometime even a joke”.” – Concept Phones
