Samsung’s next flagship Android smartphone – the Galaxy S III – might become official as soon as next month, the latest reports on the matter suggest.

Previously, the South Korean mobile phone maker has been rumored to plan the release of Galaxy S II’s successor for April or May, with an official word from Samsung that denied a possible release set for the next month.

Today, however, we learn that the vendor might indeed be set to launch the smartphone in April, and that Samsung Greater China President Kim Young-Ha has confirmed that.

According to him, the handset vendor has accelerated the production and moved the launch date from May to April. He also confirmed that Samsung was determined to become more aggressive on the smartphone segment and that it aimed at gaining even more market share than before.

Galaxy S III is turning into the most expected smartphone of this half of the year, yet Samsung has to officially confirm its release date.
