Samsung Trademarks Galaxy Thunder, Express, and Accelerate

South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is gearing up for the release of new Android-based devices in the United States, new trademark filing shows.

The handset vendor has filed trademark request for the Galaxy Thunder, Galaxy Express, and Galaxy Accelerate names, which might be used for new smartphones in the near future. 

Rumor has it that these names could be soon attached to the company’s US flavors of Galaxy S III, supposedly the successor of last year’s highly popular Galaxy S II smartphone. 

Recently, the company has trademarked some other names that will supposedly be paired with new handsets, but nothing has been officially confirmed on the matter so far. 

Additionally, the company trademarked the name of Samsung Wallet, and Pocketnow notes that this could be the name for some sort of a Google Wallet competitor, though it sounds rather far-fetched.
