Samsung: No Galaxy S II successor at Mobile World Congress

We've heard rumors, and gone over the possibility in an editorial, but now we have it straight from the horse's mouth -- the Samsung Galaxy S III will not be making its debut at Mobile World Congress. Speaking to technology blog TechRadar, the Korean manufacturer clarified its plans for next month's show, saying --

"Samsung is looking forward to introducing and demonstrating exciting new mobile products at Mobile World Congress 2012.

"The successor to the Galaxy S2 smartphone will be unveiled at a separate Samsung-hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product.
"Samsung stays committed to providing the best possible mobile experiences for customers around the world."

So that's that -- no Galaxy S III at MWC. We're sure we'll still have plenty of cool stuff to play with, though -- HTC, LG and Sony Ericsson are likely to be out in force at MWC, and we'll also have those "exciting new mobile products" from Sammy to look forward to. As for the Galaxy S III, it's now on track to appear by end of June, and we're just fine with that.
