Russian tech blogger Eldar Murtazin dropped a little rumor earlier today that will, at very least, get your imagination flowing. His claim is that the still-unannounced Samsung Galaxy S III will launch this April, after being officially unveiled in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress late next month.

Eldar is also dropping hints that he managed to get his hands on the new device, though you can take that with a grain of salt for now, considering Mr. Murtazin’s spotty prediction track record.

“HD resolution, 12 mpx camera, sw tweaks, android 4 – i like my new phone. Eager to see official announcement in Barcelona,” – @eldarmurtazin

This tweet was sent out by Eldar, and has been accepted by some as a direct hint at the Samsung Galaxy S III. Of course, most of these details can logically be expected, so there’s no way to tell if he’s fibbing or not. Think about it for just a second — the Samsung Galaxy S II was unveiled at MWC last year and launched for Europeans in April, so this could likely be the venue for the next unveiling. Also, the upgraded specs only make sense — yes, it’s going to launch with ICS. Yes the camera is going to be upgraded and 12MP does sound like a nice round number.

One thing Murtazin hinted at that’s sure to make a buzz — the SGSIII will come rocking a 1.5GHz-1.6GHz quad-core processor. This isn’t all that surprising to me though, as we’ve already heard talk of quad-core phones coming this year, so we’d only assumed the Galaxy S III would be one of the first to have one.

For now, we’re taking this with a grain of salt, but it sure is nice to have something to occupy our minds until MWC, isn’t it?
