Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3 dummy leaks again, newer prototype sports a home button
0. phoneArena posted on 25 Apr 2012, 02:35
The biggest difference with the unit that the Vietnamese from Tinhte leaked last weak, seems to be the presence of a physical home key underneath the display. The button was supposedly placed there in the last minute by Samsung's design team, after a lot of internal struggle whether the phone should be with on-screen buttons only, as originally planned, or keep the Galaxy S line design heritage...

I think the screen looks perfect as far as quality goes however I feel like the bezel area between the button and the screen is a huge waste of space which could have been used for screen size. Take a look here. Oh well I'm still pulling for Sammy in this one!

I agree but mobile manufacturers normally place the antenna here which is why so much space is taken up.

I know what a dummy phone is. But they aren't going to move the placement of the screen and the button or else it would have to be a hardware change when the real device is manufactured. The only "dummy" part of the phone is the lack of a full user interface and the bad case it is in.

I actually like it, but lets be honest - Apple are gonna be focusing heavy on the design, samsung needed to bring it best designed phone yet.
this pic dont look like it, it still looks great but it wont compare to a new designed iphone.
and thats from an android fan

Nice. Kind of looks like a GNex with a home button.

Seriously guys: the TITLE reads "dummy prototype". Other then the button placement, this should bear no similarity to the final design.

usually a dummy phone, like the one pictured above, is the final design there buddy. There you have it. the next "big" thing LOL

samsung have not given final design to anyone not even the carriers to test it...we have known for the past few days that the s3 is in a test case...the above pic is not a dummy phone perse as dummy phones are non working phone,this is an actual working phone....wait and see on may 3rd that the pic above which you think is the final design will not be the final design...think about it do you think the s3 will have bigger bezels and be thicker than the s2.

which ever way this goes im still getting my sgs3 or whatever they might end up calling it. lets face facts other manufacturers are doing great with their smart phones but when it come to top of the range, be it cheap plastic finish or whatever, sgs has a lot to offer and there's been no doubt about its top spot position. if this turns out to be the final design, its not bad at all after all the sgs2 is not mostly a pretty device. its the practicallity of its functions that matters.

I really dislike the home button... If that's going on the final design, then no way I'll consider the phone despite what the phone is running on.
