Here's the latest on the Samsung Galaxy S III
The latest speculation about the most anticipated Android model of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S III, comes from GSM Helpdesk. According to The Verge, the image on the screen resembles a TouchWiz skinned version of Gingerbread that was used on promotional material last year for the Samsung Galaxy S II. That doesn't automatically mean that the picture is a fake, but on the other hand, it doesn't inspire confidence in it either. The picture also resembles one we recently showed you that claimed to be that of the Samsung Galaxy S III, that showed the logo of a public relations firm in the corner.

The new mockup of the Samsung Galaxy S III (R) matches one from the other day

According to the latest information, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a 4.7 inch screen with 720p resolution. A 12MP camera will be on back and inside the model a 1750mAh battery will power the handset. Under the hood you will find a quad-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. The whole shebang weighs 125 grams.

Samsung is expected to announce the Samsung Galaxy S III during a press event on May 22nd. Between now and then, as we get closer to the event, you can expect to see more pictures supposedly of the Samsung Galaxy S III, and read more specs allegedly belonging to the device. There will be differences between them. For example, compare the specs leaked with today's story to those from the other day which included a 4.8 inch 1080p screen, and 2GB of RAM.

Speculation needs to stop! All will be revealed when the time is right!!

19. andro. posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:19 12 1

Cool off the ipad? I thought you said earlier you had any ipad and it doesn't have charger or overheating problems?!

Also it seems you still didn't realise the errors in your ways and to which people the word 'sheep' is applicable. Its okay ifans are not wrong for their extraordinary high mental abilities

But however i do wonder why a person showing so defense of apple and talks about how using their products is so good has listed The Samsung Galaxy s2 AT&T as the phone they 'have' on their profile?

This leads to the conclusion you may just be trolling here just for the sake of trolling which makes you worse than even ifans,as they troll but are too stupid or under the apple pr influence to know any better while you know quite what your doing and still continue to troll. its also now time for people to stop feeding the troll.

Speculation wont stop with the GS3 until it is announced. Just like what happens with the Iphone.

Got to love fanboyism.....

FAKE... 105%

They just slapped the GS2 homescreen over the last "Leaked" hardware.

Compare the weather, temperate (high/low). Everything is same from the TW4 in GS2. They just replaced London with Barcelona. Even the family is same and pictures below it.

The icons should be square in shape. Look carefully. They are rectangular. Height is more. Pure FAKE.

The capacitive buttons are too "glowy". Obvious that they have been morphed into the picture. Amateur photo edit.

Notification bar is GB style, ICS should be blue.

27. Commentator posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:38 1

Also, the pic on the left has 5 apps in the bottom dock while the one on the right has four. Plus the temperatures don't even match up between the two. That's way too poorly done to have been made by a professional.

29. andygallo posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:53 1

Yeah, the 5 app dock bar was the first thing I noticed too. I'm betting that's a screenshot from the Note. The dock bar icons on the right don't look right at all, I think those are the old icons.

I will point out that ICS for the GS2 looks just like the GingerBread. You have to open up the app drawer to notice any real differences.

I'm thinking that this may very well be what the HARDWARE will look like. But since ICS hasn't been finalized on Samsung hardware, the marketing team is photoshopping old screens on the pics.

Also note that virtally ALL marketing material for stuff like this is photoshopped. Reason 1: taking a photo of a device with the screen on looks like crap. Reason 2: most material like this is usually a render.

Hey look, it's the feature list for the Galaxy S3 phone.

2 people are so bitter about the truth regarding the Galaxy S line of phones. I bet more are coming lol.

Do I have to report you?

and you're the bitterest of them all

70. Johnny_Mnemonic posted on 21 Mar 2012, 17:42 1 1

CM. The king of signal dropping will always be iPhone 4 jaja

71. CM_Punk (banned) posted on 21 Mar 2012, 17:57 2 3

Which was fixed quite easily.

84. corrifa posted on 21 Mar 2012, 21:55 2 2

Only fixed by the need for a case due to bad design..

86. CM_Punk (banned) posted on 21 Mar 2012, 23:08 2 1

Bad design only to someone trying to squeeze their phone.

73. InspectorGadget80 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 19:14 2 1

Let's see. Iphone phone not held improperly connection problems, glass breaks easily, antenna not recieving signal iPhone 4.

75. andro. posted on 21 Mar 2012, 19:32 1 2

We still get customers complaining of poor reception or dropping calls with the iphone 4,the problem was never fixed. The only real answer we give customers is its an iphone, theyre are known for that

77. stealthd posted on 21 Mar 2012, 20:11 1 2

That's because you suck at your job, it has nothing to do with the iPhone.

78. andro. posted on 21 Mar 2012, 20:46 2 1

Well we dont get customers back complaining with any of the other phones we sell for dropping calls and the customers who send their iphone 4 away for repair for dropped calls issues say they dont drop calls on any of the loan phones issued but then drop calls again on the iphone 4 when they use it again when it comes back from repair

But looking at it now your right it cant be an iphone problem,apple said it didnt exist right? If only i saw yourn comment earlier id say saved many customers from grief with their iphone troubles.

82. vijaysivakula posted on 21 Mar 2012, 21:51 1

Bull droppings!!

3. darkkjedii posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:05 3 5

Man I hope that's not the actual look of the device. I plan to buy two phones this year. The new iPhone, and the gs3... However if that's the gs3, I'll only be buying one.

16. MATOZ posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:18 2

Maybe you get a Thumb Up, uhm... but,
What was your error on your comment?
Oh I see, the word: "iPhone"! Hee hee...

57. darkkjedii posted on 21 Mar 2012, 16:00 4

What's wrong with the iPhone

22. PimpStrong posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:25 2

Because it looks so BADA$$ that you won't want to buy the new iPhone!?!?

37. MATOZ posted on 21 Mar 2012, 13:17 1 2

The same old 3.5 screen...

58. darkkjedii posted on 21 Mar 2012, 16:02 4

I'm not concerned with the iPhones screen size. Screen size doesn't make a phone good or bad it's preference. If that was the case I'd buy the note. I want the new iPhone cuz of the brilliant functionality

83. vijaysivakula posted on 21 Mar 2012, 21:52

Errr... "brilliant functionality"?

81. InspectorGadget80 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 21:10

don't you mean your iPhone 3G 3Gs and iPhone 4 same small ass screen?

80. InspectorGadget80 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 21:09

NOTHING WILL never make me BUY THE IPHONE

6. thnkthru3 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:10 2

Does anyone think this phone wil l be picked up by at&t?

26. -box- posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:38

Given the success of the Galaxy S2, the current "halo" status of the GS2 Skyrocket, and the upcoming Skyrocket HD, I would expect so

"Under the hood you will find a DUAL-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. The whole shebang weighs 125 grams."

Should be QUAD-core if you read your sources again ;)

Thanks for the heads-up, reading glasses too foggy this morning!

I'm Just waiting the REAL moment when Samsung SIII show up officially (specs and release date).
I really hate when rumors appears.

Come on!

9. sheepygalaxy posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:11

why do people keep saying these spec and size arnt real it makes perfect sense to have this or close to it.S2 was amazing and was the best handset last year so this will be best for this year so will have the best specs

31. Commentator posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:57

I don't understand why people are complaining about the bezel being too big. It looks plausible enough to me, especially on the left and right sides.

10. darac posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:11 2 4

Way too much of bezel surrounding the screen! And too small battery!

Btw, anyone buying the previous full hd screen rumour is a retard.

12. Commentator posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:17

The size of the battery depends on whether it's quad or dual core. If it's quad then I agree that the battery is way too small. If it's dual though it should be fine. And yeah, 1080p on a 4.8" screen would be absolutely pointless. That's 458.94 ppi.

17. torr310 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:19 4

You meant as pointless as Apple did on the new iPad?

21. Commentator posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:22 1

No, this is more pointless, as at least the iPad's screen is big enough to tell the difference between it and the iPad 2. If the whole Retina Display thing is to be believed, the human eye wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 4.8" screen.

20. andro. posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:22 2

Ya the bezel is way too big,its definitely a fake render

11. Femto posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:12 4 5

How about a 4" screen; or 4.3"? These huge screens are not pleasant to hold. And damn I miss the optical mouse from the D.inc. You can't find a good phone ww one of those anymore. A high-end android phone with an optical mouse would likely have my business.

13. torr310 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:17

I don't believe this is true.

Expectations versus sad reality!

32. gallitoking posted on 21 Mar 2012, 12:58 1 9

nothing from that phone is innovating.. not sure why all the hate for the iphone when this phone brings nothing new to the table, Quadcore?.. check.. 720 screen.. got Nexus?... check, not surprise on the design as they saw how successfull was the same desing iphone,, Samsung will repeat the same formula for the phone of the year 2011

43. CivicSi89 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 13:54

Im sorry. But im calling bull on this. even though i normally respect your comments because you can argue like a human being. But really? Look at the design on this phone. Its BEAUTIFUL. even if a rendering. Nothing about this phone says iPhone.
iPhone-No Quad Core. no LTE. No bigger screen size. and probably gonna be more durable than the iPhone.
And what do you mean "Got Nexus?" the phone will have ICS when it launches. But i will say. As far as design. You MUST be blind to think this looks like the iPhone. if thats the case then so Does the Galaxy Note.

44. CivicSi89 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 13:55

and i have an iPhone 4S White and A Nexus. so im no apple or android fanboy. i like Tech!!!

46. gallitoking posted on 21 Mar 2012, 14:31

by all means never said is an ugly phone is a beautiful phone.. thats why i dont think Samsung wil change the design much.. because is already a amazing phone

47. remixfa posted on 21 Mar 2012, 14:33

bleh.. im still not a fan of the white. I'll take dark metallic blue though

51. gallitoking posted on 21 Mar 2012, 15:07 1

love the white SGSII

53. remixfa posted on 21 Mar 2012, 15:43

that makes one of us.. lol.

i dont own any white electronics other than my Xbox since ive had it since launch, i didnt have the black choice.. other wise, it would be in black. :)

i dunno.. white paint is just... bleeehh.. to me. who knows why

85. Commentator posted on 21 Mar 2012, 22:00

White looks better with LCD screens in my opinion, just because the backlit-black doesn't clash as much with a white bezel as it does with a black bezel. On AMOLED devices I prefer black because the blacks in the screen literally blend in with the black bezel.

36. imkyle posted on 21 Mar 2012, 13:10

This still has gingerbread on it. This better not be real.

63. xoutrageousx posted on 21 Mar 2012, 16:12 2

it's real deal BRO

gingerbread runs in 99.9% of android phones.

38. CivicSi89 posted on 21 Mar 2012, 13:19 1

That Bezel thing kinda scares me. But even so. Good Job Samsung!!!
