After the whole Galaxy S3 explosion story went all over the world, Samsung went ahead and investigated the issue, it turns out the explosion was actually a way for the owner to get a replacement. After Samsung and a Third Party investigation was concluded it appears that the explosion occurred as a result of “external energy” being applied to the device, not anything from within the phone itself. The original poster dillo2k10 has posted an update on Boards.ie, indicating it was a mistake by someone else in an attempt to recover the phone after it got wet.

Samsung Galaxy SIII, the device recently launched in London with a worldwide announcement of features, has received over 9 million pre-orders worldwide according to the Korea Economic Daily. If these numbers are to be believed, then Samsung is almost close to the half of the 20 million SIIs they sold overall till FEB 2012.
According to a separate report by Reuters, the company’s factories are producing 5 million units monthly, so it does not seem like stocks should be an issue once the device does get launched.

Here it is! or is it? Is this the next Galaxy phone? The Galaxy SIII, launching May 3 2012 has been grabbing a lot of limelight in th east couple of weeks and now as we near the launch a lot of details have been handed out to us.
Looking at the image it appears that the Touchwiz customizations will be very well integrated with the Android 4.0 UI. Also to notice is the positions of the buttons is different, and the presence of a rather large home button of physical nature, which is usually absent in Android 4.0 devices, makes for a unique function of the said “physical home button”.
Samsung is teasing the twitter-verse with an anagram, that if deciphered correctly spells out “The Next Galaxy” . Of course if you head to the original site of the anagram : tgeltaayehxnx.com you will see the countdown ticker that reads just a few hours from now.
