Reports on Tuesday suggest that Samsung has decided against unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S3 device at this year's Mobile World Congress.
The Verge says that 'people familiar with the matter' have indicated that the Korean giant plans to delay the unveiling until after February's annual mobile expo in Barcelona.
The sequel to the ultra-successful Galaxy S2 will still arrive "before summer" according to the source.
It is thought that Samsung has chosen to delay the announcement to avoid a long wait for customers hoping to get their hands on the Android device.
The report is contrary to reports earlier on Tuesday which suggested the handset will arrive with Ice Cream Sandwich and a 12-megapixel camera in time for a UK launch in April
CES sneak peak
Most observers believed that the S3 would arrive in Barcelona, especially after an unidentified device appeared in the company's official CES wrap video.
The handset in the video featured what appeared to be a longer-thinner device with a larger edge-to-edge screen.
The Verge reports that the Korean giant still has plenty of interesting stuff to unveil at MWC with new Windows Phones and Galaxy Tab tablets possibly in the works.
