Interesting... Specs look believable, not sure what to make of the video though... How did you stumble on this?

Looks like a Simsung rather then a Samsung
Send from beneath my cloak of magic

That's really disappointing if that is indeed the final design. Hopefully that is the SGS 2 Plus and not the SGS3.

Yep, this just looks like a very plain design. I was expecting something more creative from Samsung..

Yeah I call bs

Looks a lot like: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_leaked_info_suggests_a_midmay_launch-news-4027.php
GSMArena seems to suggest that this is indeed the Galaxy M, which could be seen as the successor to the Galaxy S II, but is in fact a midrange device. This could leave the top spot open for a true successor later this year.

LOL what hmmm disappointing design .........

I wish this was fake. But if you look at a few of the leaked pictures from the last few weeks and watch that video this looks pretty genuine. Let's just hope this wasn't the final chosen design ....

If that isn't the real sgs3 I'm betting that it will be extremely similar. Especially in design and form factor. Anybody that thinks it will have a radical new design and styling has rocks in their head. Samsung won't stray too far from the sgs 1 & 2 design style which has been so successful for them. This is also the reason they won't part with touchwiz. . Too much change risks alienating existing customers and may prevent them from upgrading. One of the reasons I got the gs2 is because of the simple minimalist design, I would be very disappointed if the final form factor of the gs3 isn't very similar to the gs2. Would seriously consider changing manufacturors.

The report from CNET seems to support that this is indeed the SGS3 we're looking at.

That is the S3 i believe.

If not this one, it will be pretty close to that...i was hoping to a new design U.U

Oh no...it is ugly.. Hope it is fake..please samsung say this is not s3...

If they want to fight wtit ONE (X/S) series this one will loose, thats why i think its not the SGS3, it may be some other "Galaxy" that we dont know of yet. Remember that Samsung copyrighted 6 phone names in the past month
This is for sure not the SGS3

really hope it's not the S3, if so I'm gonna give it a miss and wait for the next Nexus phone

The galaxy nexus is more sexy than this >…<

Doubt the SGS3 will loose to the One X, considering it's the official phone of the London Olympics.
Please Samsung, why did you have to show off a sexy looking device at CES and then give us this(I know it was faked, but the design is still beautiful)?
What could have been the sexiest phone ever:

Samsung Galaxy S III - All Updates

On 23 April, Samsung begun a countdown for the next galaxy with an anagram.

Yesterday, the countdown finally stopped and a teaser for the upcoming galaxy was posted.
SUMMARY OF VIDEO ACCORDING TO ME----
The video begins in the wilderness showing a distant city, all lit up in the night. The camera then zooms into outer space along with text that reads ‘Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand’. This is a subtle hint that the phone won’t be as massive as the Galaxy Note or possibly, the Galaxy Nexus. I have a feeling Samsung may just stick to the 4.3-inch screen but with a much higher resolution. This makes perfect sense and I hope they do that.
The camera then pans out across different galaxies along with another line, ‘Your view of the world grows even wider’. This could hint at the aspect ratio of the new phone. Any Other Guess! Anyone.
Then, it goes deeper into the universe and text appears, "AS YOU GAIN THE POWER TO EXPLORE IT FREELY & SWIFTLY', this time i'm cluelss.
Here comes the funniest part, the iSheeps, which shows a herd of sheep and the line, ‘…everyone else’.
The video ends with the Samsung logo and those very same blobs of metallic paint we saw in the invite. This definitely hints to the type of material used in the chassis of the S III or if not, at least the colours it will be available in. Sadly, at this moment, we don’t have any real clue about the phone itself and looking at how Samsung is hyping their next-gen Galaxy phone, I really doubt those leaked pictures are the real deal.
It appears as if Samsung is trying to throw us off the track here into thinking that the GT-I9300 is indeed the S III, which it isn’t (at least, that’s what we hope). Only a few days are left for Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which will take place on May 3, so see you then.

So we let us suprise. Wow !!

This may be our first real picture:

I still hope there will be more than one device revealed on May 3rd.

Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA

I voted "don't know" it depends on a number of factors, it will have to beat the SGSII in every department for it to outsell it, price too will be a factor, many countries are in deep recession and many people cannot afford the luxury of shelling out big money on a smartphone so i hope Samsung don't vastly overcharge, €599 is far too much this is the figure that was given on the Amazon German website

Samsung to unveil Galaxy S4 at CES 2013

With the Galaxy S3 being a huge success for Samsung, all eyes are on their S4 to follow up on that and Samsung isn’t slacking. In fact, looks like they’re already working on it and have plans to debut it early next year.

Rumors are already abound with the specs of the device, which include a 4.99-inch, Full HD Super AMOLED screen, a pixel density of 441 ppi, Adonis Exynos 5400 Series Chipset, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Cortex-A15 processor. Also, better contrast and refresh rates along with lower power consumption is in the cards. And Mobile Choice reports that Samsung plans to demo the phone at CES 2013 to release it on March 2013 instead of its usual summer release.
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon

First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
Company likely to show off 5-inch full HD display in January
Screens are becoming a key battleground when it comes to smartphones these days, so it's no surprise to hear that Samsung is set to show off the screen for its next flagship smartphone ahead of the phone itself.
Samsung will demonstrate a 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display at CES 2013, according to sources in Korea, who in turn cite inside sources from the company. The AMOLED panel is said to be 'very thin', with low power consumption, as well as high contrast and refresh rate. It also has 441ppi pixel density, which is more or less perfect human vision.
All well and good, but the problem right now is Samsung's ability to turn that technology into mass production. If the company can do that (and we really wouldn't be surprised of they do), the screen will be the one used in the Samsung Galaxy S IV, which is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2013.
Offering a full HD AMOLED will be a huge and unique selling point, so we suspect Samsung is currently working round the clock to get those production methods just right. If you happen to be anywhere a Samsung installation and you hear the sound of breaking glass, that's probably what is going on.
Regardless of that, the test screen should be shown off in less than a couple of months. We'll be there to get eyes-on to see it in action.

And It'll still have redraws on touchwiz despite the higher specs. Cmon Sammy, user experience is ultimately what matters not just specs.

I mean I'm happy with my S3 but if I believed all the rumours I should be carrying around something they use in Star Trek right now.

because it is galaxy s3 so u should post this in galaxy s4 section

Rumors note 3 (photo)

The rumors of the next generation Samsung Galaxy Note phablet are growing thick and fast. An alleged image of the Galaxy Note III phablet has appeared online, sporting a 5.9-inch display.
According to a report from MyDrivers, the upcoming Galaxy Note phablet will feature a Full HD display and packs a punch with the company's own Exynos 5410 Octa processor, with the four powerful Cortex A15 chips clocked at 2.0 GHz, and the remaining four power-saving Cortex A7 chips running at 1.7 GHz.
Samsung Galaxy Note III is said to come with 3 GB of RAM and will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Furthermore, the phablet is rumored to be unveiled during IFA 2013.

Umm rumours seems to contradict themselves. We have confirmation that the Note III will have Unbreakable flexible OLED(720p) screen.
The First Flexible AMOLED Display to be launched in Q4’2013
So maybe THIS post is right. There will be 2 versions, One full HD(glass) and one 720p(flexible plastic)

Interesting but why does it not even have a Samsung logo? Plus the bezel seems far too big at the bottom. Chinese knock off perhaps?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

I agree, the phone doesn't quite look high enough quality. I'd be suprised if they made the bezzle that big or the home button that small. I'm also hoping that they wont make the handset that much bigger than the note 2.
As for the specs... they are what I would have guessed.
sent on the move from my Note2

And why does it say i9500 at the bottom. Maybe if there was more greasy fingerprints on the phone we could see better.lol

We don't have confirmation of nothing, note 3 will not be 720p flexible screen and the one of the photo it is a poor chinese imitation like thousands others.

I don't know why you say we don't have confirmation. The source comes from the OLED association, it's pretty solid. And yes it will be 720p. We know they can't produce enough flexible screen for the market so logic dictates that they will have two versions.
And yes, even on the Mydrivers website the chinese comments all says the phone is a fake.

Because the "oled association" is not Samsung and they don't have any papers about the future devices of any brand as all of them are secret projects to avoid industrial espionage, so until samsung says that, it is fake.
Also, note it is a top device of samsung who cannot sell low specs like 720p, so likely the device with the new unbreakable screen with 720p will be a new one to test the market, not the second bestseller of samsung.

Well the news is from OLED Association but the info comes from SDC(Samsung Display Corporation). And if you read it doesn't say "rumours" anywhere.
Note III is a top device yes, so it should have top technology. Being the first device in the world to have a flexible unbreakable screen is not a little thing even if it is only a 720p. If having a 0.5mm flexible 720p(opposed to 1.5mm glass) means getting a bigger battery, I say go for it Samsung. I would buy a Note III with 4500mAh battery and 720p screen anytime.

Can we all agree ? The Screen is FANTASTIC! (And here's some videos to prove it)

Just wanted to voice how great this screen really is! I'm a G3, Note 3, S5, S4, Note 2 -
I was so excited for the G3 and then the screen on that thing had no VIVID colors! What a huge disappointment - it went back.
If you'd like to see how great this screen really is, TURN up the brightness, go here to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56100084&postcount=14 and grab those videos!!
Killer!

Samsung and Apple both have the best screens on mobile products. The LG G3's (QHD 2560x1440) screen is amazing but it uses IPS LCD screen while the Galaxy note 4 uses SuperAMOLED 2D screen.

I agree I had g3 and fixed my self to like it this screen blows it out the water
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Premium HD app

To be fair, the colors on Samsung devices (by default) are vivid, but not accurate. Not sure how accurate the G3 is, but Apple screens are generally quite a bit more accurate than Samsung screens.
From what I've read the Note 4 has the option to use vivid or accurate color rendering, the accurate is at least as good as the iPhone 6 (plus the option to have the colors really pop.)

im excited to see screen today!!! g3 has good screen i think (thats about it imo though but good screen) so we will see!

So excited!!!!
So which wallpaper will anyone be using? Stock Note 4 or anything you have prepared to use for it? I'm spending so much time browsing 2560x2560 wallpapers but can't really decide which to choose.

Anandtech, Displaymate and others state the color coverage is the best of any device. Depends on the setting. Vivid is still an option.

i do love this screen, but i very slightly see what some people said about the upper right hand portion of the screen having more of a reddish hue than the rest. mine has that, but it's pretty slight and only noticable on white screens like in the menus, so i don't care much. everything else about the phone works perfectly so i'm happy!

Oh wow! I love it. It looks awesome on the Note 4. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :good: :good:

There appears to be some G3 owners in denial that their power hogging, low contrast displayed device is better and the N4 is a laggy while the G3 is super fast. This in contradiction of most reviews and my own experience.
G3 is a good device, but the display is a more than usual resource killer.
