Samsung GT-I9300 prototype indeed labeled Galaxy S3, faster Mali-400 graphics processor onboard

Nevertheless, it's still going to be the next phone I buy!

I think this might be the S3 as some articles point out that S3 won't be a major upgrade from S2 and the superior super-phone, Samsung would call it something else ?
I do hope the event that Samsung holding on May 3rd in London will reveal the anticipated super-phone. If not i will go with HTC One X :P

i9800 just show up, this could be the real S3 or the higer end of S3 ??

Screen size is important for most users, but the "clockage" is only important to the power users. Only a small fraction of phone users care about what speed their CPU is running at, much less know the difference between different CPUs.

If the battery is 2000+ mAh, then hopefully the SGS3 will be an all-day phone. Nothing sucks worse than having to charge the phone 2x per day. The awful battery life of 4G phones has been a huge turn-off.

It is a dummy case. That info was posted on engadget.com, go check it out!

Don't get me wrong, the GPU part is annoying, but im sure the CPU will make up for it. I don't care about design near as much as performance

the gpu in the s4 is not horrible at all. it benchmarks only a bit lower than tegra 3

I was referring to the Mali-400

I hope so. If they do ill probably still buy it lol just overclock the hell out of the GPU. I don't care about battery life xD im typically right beside of a power outlet.

14. Diego! posted on 20 Apr 2012, 08:35 2 1

LOL, let's wait and see :)
There are some people getting mad with these leaks, and that's why I try not to follow the hood LOL :D

18. remixfa posted on 20 Apr 2012, 08:43 7 1

lol. this unit is over 4 months old. things change a lot in that short time. this more than likely just a test unit for the processor to work out any bugs. don't let your hopes deflate just yet. :)

24. kshell1 posted on 20 Apr 2012, 09:50 2 0

Your probably right, the new mali probably wasn't even ready then.

As long as im near a power outlet im fine, ill have the GPU and CPU overclocked anyway lol

I would not hope for that. RAM cosumes battery, and that´s mainly the reason why they don´t add more RAM like crarzies to mobile phones.
What would you rather have, a phone with more RAM (that will be mostly unused) or one with more battery life?
My take there is clear: more battery life. 1GB is more than enogh for current mobile applciations. Think that most of the phones have only 512 MB and applications for Android are designed for the weakest ones.

44. remixfa posted on 22 Apr 2012, 05:15 0 0

the amount of battery that RAM chews up is negligable compared to the SoC, screen and radios.
I'd rather have the ram honestly. Samsung did a great job on the battery life on the exynos SGS2, I wouldnt expect them to reverse that.

28. remixfa posted on 20 Apr 2012, 10:49 1 0

its probably a similar test unit. Samsung has been extremely careful not to let the real thing show it's face. all these specs are not final.. the look is junk on purpose. nothing in these units are final versions ...
lol Samsung is really stepping up their hype and secrecy games to knew crazy levels. is this what iPhone nuts go through every year? lol. I can't take it!

33. protozeloz posted on 20 Apr 2012, 16:09 0 0

posted the details on G+ when I found about it, wonder how the final unit may look like

what should a 2012 phone have spec wise then if not quad core and hd screen...a15 just not possible this early in the year for mass production so thats out the window.
