Korean version of Samsung Galaxy S III to have different design?

The version of the Samsung Galaxy S III headed to Korea allegedly will have square corners |
Where we might see some changes this time around, is in Korea. We have already told you that the country's SK Telecom is going to receive a version of the phone with both a quad-core Exynos processor and 2GB of RAM in July. The already launched international version, GT-I9300, has the quad-core chip but only 1GB of RAM and the models for the U.S. carriers will have the 2GB of RAM but will use a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor because of the use of LTE connectivity.
According to Mobile Phone Blog, the Korean version of the phone will have a different look on the outside. According to an image displayed on the site, the Korean version of the fastest selling gadget in history will have more squared off corners and a display that appears to top the 4.8 inches seen on all of the other versions of the phone.
While we understand that this is Samsung's own back yard, if the manufacturer worked hard to make sure that (for the most part) all U.S. carriers are receiving the same device this year, would the manufacturer really play the home court advantage card to make a different looking device? Until we hear from Sammy directly on this one, start reaching for the salt in your pantry.

That's my gripe with Samsung. they always bring out different versions of the same device!! You can never own the latest Samsung phone because there's always another slightly better one coming out in a month or two!

so.. your mad that they make progress and then sell the progress to make money to afford to pay for more progress in a highly competitive environment?
sounds like you need an iphone. that way you can make sure no one has a nicer iphone for a year or 2... and even then the next one is so minorly upgraded that you just dont mind.

yeah, look at the FFC, it's too near the edge of the screen.. i don't think that's possible (yet)..

If that was real, I wish that was the U.S. version instead.

Even though its looks fake, I like the design better than the original.

I prefer the rounded corners honestly, tho I do like the squared off as well. I'd be happy with either design really.

it's definitely fake... they might have confused it with the Galaxy R, which looks exactly like the photo (also running Touchwiz Nature UX) except smaller... (and it's said to launch sometime this month only in the Korean market)

seriously, am i the only one who notices that the 'square' S3 does not include the SAMSUNG label? So the pic is obviously fake :/
15. remixfa posted on 11 Jun 2012, 09:07 2
bad fake.
no samsung logo.
its just a white sgs2/note made to look like an sgs3.
I'd buy it though. :)

I love my S3, I like the square design too but I now love this round edge design. It's like a white marble :-P

That might be a galaxy s3 lte. Since in korea, the galaxy s2 and galaxy s2 lte looked different
