Despite all the legal battles it has had to face, Samsung has done very well for itself in the smartphone arena these last couple of years. The original Galaxy S platform was a hit and that continued with the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Nexus, and the Galaxy Note. But what will the Samsung Galaxy S3 bring to the table? A heck of a lot, apparently.

First off, we’re looking at a launch window right around March of this year, though the exact date with each carrier will likely vary somewhat. The processor sounds like it could be the dual-core Exynos 5250. While it’s not quad core like Tegra 3, it does have a crazy clock speed of 2GHz, boasting enough grunt to power stereoscopic 3D on what will likely be a display in the Super AMOLED Plus HD family.

Given Samsung’s recent push toward bigger screens (the Galaxy Nexus has a 4.65-incher and the Note has a 5.3-incher), it’s safe to assume that the Galaxy S3 will be a little bigger too. I’m guessing it’ll be the same as the Galaxy Nexus, since it will likely launch with ICS too. The camera will probably get a notable bump too, possibly getting that 16MP unit that Samsung announced in October.

But these are all just rumors. What do you want to see in a Galaxy S3? Thinner? Brighter? How about some better battery life? Ice Cream Sandwich is a no brainer.

That was monumental. Soon, we will have dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 powered smartphones at hour fingertips. This is already being out done by phones with 1.2GHz and even 1.4GHz processors mind you. But they're all going to get usurped again. By Samsung.

In this latest stage of upstaging, Samsung made it clear that they will come forward with dual-core 2GHz processor powered smartphones. When considering processing power alone, that could put the phone on par with quite a few PCs on the market. Your laptop just got out clocked by your phone? Sweet!

Samsung is saying that their 2GHz dual core wonder will be ready in 2012 and is likely going to be marketed under the new Exynos brand. What’s interesting is that Samsung is now looking to sell its mobile processors to other smartphone manufacturers, so we might be seeing a Samsung Exynos 2GHz dual core powered smartphone from HTC, Motorola, Acer, LG, or any number of other companies.

Yes, having more speed can sound appealing, but I’d be really concerned about how they handle those slowly evolving batteries. Hopefully you’re not reaching for a power outlet every couple of hours. People on the EVO 4G love their phones, but they get pretty frustrated with battery life.
