According to the source, with the announcement of 12 megapixel camera phone, Samsung might also upgrading its 8 megapixel series with a 3x optical zoom option.

Would Sony Ericsson jump on the 12 megapixel line up together with Samsung? That should not be impossible, given that Sony has already announced a 12.25 megapixel camera CMOS module called “Exmor” in November last year.
