Now a Samsung source has indicated a similar situation for the Galaxy S III. [...]

Here’s a surprising late night treat. Samsung Electronics just introduced the 1.4 GHz Exynos 4 Quad (Exynos 4412) and said it is “scheduled to be first-adopted into Samsung’s next Galaxy smartphone that will officially be announced in May.” Rumors and speculation had suggested that Samsung would use the quad-core Exynos 4412 in the Galaxy S III, [...]
