The Samsung Galaxy S III was one of the most anticipated Android smartphones this year. The first two flagship Galaxy S smartphones were considered to be among the finest Android devices of their time. With so much riding on the Galaxy S brand, Samsung had to make sure that no information regarding the Galaxy S III leaked out ahead of release. Its methods for keeping the GSIII a secret went well beyond the honor system.
Android purists swear that stock Android is the way to go. This is especially true for Android 4.0 since it is much sleeker and lighter than most skins manufacturers place on their devices. There’s at least one more Android skin on the way next month, this time from Huawei. The Emotion UI is set to debut on June 9, and will be placed on the first Huawei device in July.
More Tegra 3 news this afternoon after General Manager Mike Rayfield told analysts that there will be 30 quad-core Android phones this year. Currently there have been two phones released? So with 28 more to go, there should be a nice selection for everyone.

Some rather bitter news today for anyone who was looking forward to getting an HTC One X or an EVO 4G LTE Android phone. Both phones, which we have talked about recently, have had their first shipment held up by US Customs over a patent that they might be infringing upon that Apple owns.
Living in Japan just got a little sweeter. Sony unveiled two of its newest Xperia Android smartphones today that will be coming to the Japanese market in the summer.

Kyocera proved today that you don’t need a somewhat powerful phone to enjoy Android’s latest OS. The company announced two lower-end Android 4.0 smartphones at CTIA called the Hydro and the Rise.
