UK: Samsung's own 3,000 mAh battery for Galaxy S III available for pre-order for 39.99 GBP

Samsung’s line of Galaxy S handsets have been wildly successful for the Korean manufacturer. This streak of hits may continue in 2013 with the launch of the rumored Galaxy S IV. The latest leaked information from South Korean sources suggest Samsung is prepping to launch the S IV in April 2013.  The same rumor hints that the S IV will launch with support for the S-Pen, one of the best features of Samsung’s line of Note devices.

The next generation Galaxy S handset is rumored to have a 5-inch 1080P AMOLED display, a quad-core Exynos processor, and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera. The inclusion of the S-Pen could bulk up the device and make it slightly thicker than the current S III. From this latest leak, the S IV is shaping up to be a mini version of the Note II.

    I just hope the battery is something like the Note 2, i love the fact that i can run my Note 2 with all the extras turned on like live wallpapers, location etc and not have to worry about making it to the end of the day.

    If this is accurate and Google’s Android keep up the awesomedevelopment, I see an even bigger problem for IPhone. ( I am a fan of both) Well done Samsung!
