Samsung has already confirmed reports of an upcoming Android 4.0 based GALAXY Player 5.8 PMP to be launched at IFA 2012, and now it's apparently extending the GALAXY brand to cover digital cameras as well. If a tipster on GSMArena.com is to be believed, the GALAXY S III based device will be called the Samsung GALAXY S and will feature a button-free 4.8" Super AMOLED screen at the back. Here is a list of known specs:

• 4.8" Super AMOLED touchscreen.
• Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
• 16 mp sensor, pop-out Xenon flash, 24x zoom (possibly optical).
• Wi-Fi and 3G + Wi-Fi versions (data only).
• Less than twice as thick as the GS3 (unlikely if the snapper does indeed have 10x optical zoom).

It's become a tradition with Samsung in recent times to launch a completely new product at IFA. During the 2010 edition, Samsung unveiled the GALAXY Tab, followed by the GALAXY Note in 2011. Considering that Android-based snappers already exist, the probability of Samsung coming up with a similar device in the near future seems quite high. The event is just a couple of days away, so we'll find out soon enough. For now though, here is a mock-up image created by GSMArena to get your imagination going.
