Samsung Unpacked app keywords refer to a Galaxy S3 title, fuzzy photo hints at the ceramic back
The keywords which Samsung used to describe its 2012 Unpacked app in the Google Play Store reveal a possible Galaxy S3 title for its upcoming flagship phone, that is about to be unveiled May 3 in London.

Given that the device has been more popular as the Galaxy S III, with Roman numerals, yet Samsung uses S3 as a keyword, and the hint from UK carrier insiders that it might not be called what everyone expects, a change from Roman to Arabic numerals could fit the description.

Now that we are mostly aware of the expected specs, given last week's leak of a Samsung GT-I9300, which also had Samsung S3 label inside, the big question is design. Rumors peg the exterior as made of glass ceramic, and painted in white or blue, with both colors used in the poster for the initial announcement about the Unpacked event in London, as well as in the video teasers yesterday.

Perennial leaker Eldar Murtazin, who has been teasing for a while to use his embargoed prototype daily, posted a fuzzy pic in his Twitter feed yesterday of a white Samsung something with the cryptic update "love white glossy finish on phones". This immediately started the speculation it could be the alleged ceramic chassis of the white Galaxy S3, although nothing really can be seen but some reflections from what seems to be uneven surface.

Whether or not that is the case we'll see next week in London, but what do you think about the eventual Galaxy S3 naming. Simple enough?

I wonder how the glass ceramic could work out.

Really hope any ceramic parts are easily replaced, ceramic shatters like glass.

This is really becoming a great device.

I wonder if Apple will sue Sammy for infringing Apple's patent on new product introduction? Sammy's rollout sounds awfully similar to Apple's approach.

Hope it's not glossy. I like a texture surface better.

don't care much if it's ceramic or plastic as long as the phone is relativity lightweight.

On CNBC moments ago...Ralph De La Vega ATT President and CEO...when adked about latest and greatest phone... he touts the Lumia. He doesn't even mention the HTC One X or Galaxy Note. (Also holds up an iPhone during the discussion about $400 subsidies ATT pays Apple for the phone).

We all know WP are leading the mobile OS industry!! It's obvious in the sales chart! /s

He's not worried about the sales of the other phones like he is about the Lumia. He's there to advertise and plug products that need it. Apple stocks dropped last week when investors learned that carriers were going to cut iphone subsidies.

You dumb sh*t I am Hispanic & that means "I like" you f*cking legend of humanity. Man you must have won dumbest person who talks without knowing anything in high school.

Man I can't believe you can type about something you CLEARLY don't know anything about. You are such a fool that you just need to crawl back to the hole you came out of, just like the roach you are.

Dude you just did my worst pet peeve in the whole world. I CAN'T STAND when people argue stuff that I KNOW they are 100% wrong in. Do yourself a favor download Google Translate & see what "me gusta" means you f*cking dumb a$$.

Let me guess you were the kid on the bus that wore the helmet to school huh? Ladies & Gentlemen I PRESENT special ed adi4u4882 the worlds dumbest person. Man you are such a fool. How can you do this to yourself? LMAO

Man i just love when i piss of someone. You really spent time in typing all that s**t for me, jeez thanks :P

26. SuperAndroidEvo posted on 25 Apr 2012, 10:10

No problem, it took me literally 2 minutes to type that & that is because I did it from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. On a PC it would have been maybe 40 seconds if that.

eldar lives?
this douchebag should be long time ago forgotten

13. sonisoe posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:23 1

hopefully thin enough but more battery juice ie 2,500mah at least ?

16. ananya22 posted on 24 Apr 2012, 09:38 2

Thats better than naming it "the new galaxy s". galaxy s3 sounds great. i would love ceramic i even like the p lastic on my s2 so i am gonna love ceramic a lot. I just hope it wont have the overclocked mali 400 gpu. And i havent seen a blue smartphone since the n8.wondering how that would look. anyways i love white so even if the blue looks bad i am gonna pick up the white one.

17. pegasso posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:02 1

so,
which one is the 'real' Samsung Galaxy S3 ?
the GT-i9300 ? or the GT-i9800 ?

Optional plastic case would make sense...for people like me who are worried of shattering their phone (when dropped) rather than so called build quality!
