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

0. phoneArena posted on 11 Jun 2012, 06:32

While this year's version of the most anticipated Android phone will look and be named the same across the five U.S. carriers that are initially offering the device, it would appear that the Korean market is where you will find a change to the unit's look...

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.

I like the rectangular shape phone too but USA is rounded.

If this is real is that on a GSM carrier ?
I am thinking of importing one.

I dont understand why someone would thumb down your comment.

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)

i think that's galaxy m style in Korea

Quad core exynos 2gb ram korea version of sgs3!!

12. G2userLuvit posted on 11 Jun 2012, 08:23 1 2

Now thats a gs3 i'd buy... im gonna stick with the gs2 just because I don't like the look of the US version.

13. Ohrules posted on 11 Jun 2012, 08:27 1 2

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 3

bad fake.
no samsung logo.

its just a white sgs2/note made to look like an sgs3.

I'd buy it though. :)

23. cepcamba posted on 11 Jun 2012, 18:33

Hey Remix! I've been looking for you! I just pre-ordered my GS3 (Exynos, ofcourse!)! wooohoooo!!! :p I'll be getting the white one by mid next week. You want me to upload stuff like benchmarks, unboxing, etc? :)

25. remixfa posted on 11 Jun 2012, 20:42

16. cncrim posted on 11 Jun 2012, 09:44 1 2

17. bobfreking55 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 09:57 1 2

Hmm... I would take any, too bad i have no money.

18. SlimSoulja86 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 10:00 1 2

This looks soooooooooooo fake, come on now guys, really?

If you believe this, well you must be..........

phonearena. bringing out news that were dead several weeks ago and branding them new

24. metoyou posted on 11 Jun 2012, 20:38

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

26. tiara6918 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 21:09

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

27. a_tumiwa posted on 12 Jun 2012, 00:23

Thumb up if you prefer the original design
Thumb down if you prefer the korean version
Thumb Right if you are Apple Fansboy
