Samsung has just unveiled the latest version of its flagship smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S III, unveiled at an event in London just minutes ago, features face recognition technology and a much faster quad-core processor that allows users to watch videos and write messages at the same time.

Samsung’s President and Head of IT and Mobile Communications, JK Shin, revealed the device in front of thousands in attendance. The Samsung Galaxy S III will feature a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel camera, and a slimmed-down profile at 8.6mm thickness and 133 grams in weight.

The Galaxy S3 will come with a more user-centric experience, such as the ability to keep its screen on as you look at it and autocalling your textmate once you put the phone on your ear. It also has a Siri-like voice command program called S Voice that Shin insists can understand a variety of accents including American, British, Australian, and even Korean English.

The smartphone will be equipped with NFC, but not just for mobile payment. Shin explains that this technology would enable the Galaxy S III to share content with other users of Galaxy and Ice Cream Sandwich-powered smartphones.

The Suwon-based chaebol hopes this smartphone would fight a good fight with Apple, which is expected to reveal its new version of the iPhone this year.

RIM: Future BlackBerry Phones to Have Physical Keys Despite Full Touchscreen

Despite what RIM announced that upcoming BlackBerry models running on BB 10 operating system will come in full touchscreens, the Canada-based smartphone maker squashed down rumors that its future phones will not use physical keyboards.

“It would be wrong–just plain wrong,” RIM’s CEO Thorsten Heins said. This statement comes despite the future BB phones having a virtual keyboard, as confirmed in a prototype Heins unveiled just this week.

Some reports suggested RIM does not want to enrage its loyal users who like the feeling of physical keys as they twiddle their thumbs.

The question, however, is whether the new BlackBerry phones would be able to keep up with its Android and iOS counterparts.

LG Unveils Optimus LTE2, Hopes to Steal Galaxy S3’s Thunder

As Samsung unleashed its Galaxy S III in London, its Korean rival did not let Sammy get all the limelight.

LG came out with its latest smartphone. The Optimus LTE2 comes with 2GB of RAM, something we have yet to see in other smartphones. The device also sports LG’s “True HD IPS” display, WPS-backed wireless battery charging capabilities, Android 4.0, and a 2,150mAh battery that gives more juice to its life by as much as 40 percent.

A lot of details were not revealed though, such as which processor will be used. Reports speculate that it has to be a quad-core CPU to complement the astounding amount of RAM.

The LG Optimus LTE2 is due to arrive in at least three carriers in South Korea at around mid-May. Nothing set in stone yet regarding pricing or availability in other countries.
