New Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Picture

Okay folks. What do you all think? Is this the Samsung Galaxy S III? The image was leaked on a number of Korean blogs. I also would note that Eldar Murtazin, who claims to have seen the device said this about this recent leak: "no comments ". On previous leaks he said things like "looks close, but that's not it" and "no, that's not it." Why would he say "no comment" to this one? And that smiley face. Hmm. Very interesting

The shape seems convex. Doesn't seem very ergonomic to me...

Don't think you can really judge based on that picture. We'll see the real thing soon enough.

Wrong. That's exactly what we're doing here. Just judging a picture. I'm commenting solely on this picture, which is the entire point of the thread.
When the real thing comes out we will see.
Thanks for your input.

I honestly think that the screen is a bit too big compared to the device size. This is my personal opinion about the screen so please don't hate me. But overall the device sounds very nice and I'm sure it will be another big hit when it comes out.

Tierd of rumours I want this phone now!
It looks awesome from what u can see on this pic tho

Samsung confirmed to be 4.6 inch screen read more here:http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-to-have-a-4-6-super-amoled-plus-hd-display/
Everithing else is great. Im waiting to see it maybe i buy it.
Cheers

Re : New Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Picture
Yeah.. I agree with you kennethpenn.
If he has posted image then why he is saying "no comment" to this one..

Its real

I'm sure the specs will be awesome,
yet the look doesn't really excite me :/

Finally Samsung got that they need to move far from Apple designs. If you're a follower, you'll never be the leader.

What makes you think Samsung has borrowed designs by apple again? Because apple says so?

Hmm...I appreciate the go at something unique, but it looks like if you put flaps on the side, it could double as a feminine product.
Am I the only one who sees the maxi-pad? no?
I wanna see the specs if it can be that thin and sleek, i'm curious about the inside.

What about this?
Kolay 10 Pack Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy S3 S III i9500

I don't think it would be same as on the pic. Almost after two months we will see what is going to hit us
I hope this time the specs would not go with the rest of the manifactures....

Fake
Nope, don't think it's real, i expect it just to have ICS and a soft buttons, little thinner, better screen

CAN NOT WAIT!!! I love my nexus s but this machine is going to be amazing. Biggest thing for me on this device will be the non-pentile 720p screen! Can't wait for the CM crew to crack it after it is released and get flashing!!!

i have seen samsung galaxy s3 in youtube video but the phone doesn't look silm as it was first caught on the first image leak

Guys, afaik this isnt the galaxy s3, I think its the samsung galaxy m. I dont think samsung would bring out a updated galaxy s2 with 2 additional cores and a higher resolution display and name it galaxy s 3.
Nope guys, Mali 400 is nowadays not really modern. If this would be the galaxy s 3 I wouldnt buy this But its the galaxy M and its ok But I'm waiting for galaxy s3, so hopefully there will be some nice specs.

it was sgs3 ... in 16th December 2011
a ****load changed since not to mention the dummy case
and yes baattery was from M
https://twitter.com/#!/BoskiByczyByk/status/193418391107801089

In my opinion, it's definitly the Galaxy M.
I'm pretty sure that the new Galaxy S III is the GT-I9500.

Whatever it is, its ugly as hell.
Sure hope this really isn't the s3.
Hoping for something kind of like the gnexus with all the bells and whistles the gn is missing (more mpx, sd card, removable battery, none pentile samoled, etc)
Anyway, i was happier to see the blaze coming out. Proper updated phone within the 4'' range instead this latest trend of huge slabs of plastic, even if it isn't winning any beauty contest...

wow i'll buy it when come in italy!!!

Lots and lots of fake leaks been around s3 a long time now.. i think i just wait for official release notes and when its released i read what it got and probably buy it
I mean the thing is that new phones got quite a lot of power to do anything but the real question is how is battery life and how big screen you like.
So far the galaxy S been faithful phone with oc and very damn nice roms so i could get more from it than i imagined. As long as s3 got great battery life and all other things way better than other phones i really am going to buy it

If this is the real deal (or a rendering of it), I just wish it had buttons that are in a dedicated area below the main part of the screen like the HTC One X.

Samsung Galaxy S III - All Updates

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

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
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.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
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

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!

I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Design & Build quality

I like Shiny things

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.

i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!

Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.

Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

Design. I like subtle design with tiny elegant details; like a black Mercedes. HTC One is on the other end of the scale. It's a white Toyota Prius with a boomblaster on its roof.

I don't think anyone in their right mind, even the hardcore Samsung fans, would disagree with that assessment. They may not admit it though, but deep down, we all know which phone we feel is most pleasing to look at.

Not to mention the cartoonish and childish look of TW compared to the elegant, premium and matured-looking Sense UI.. S4 do really look cheap not only on the outside, but also inside..

Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.

What strange remarks!
The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.
TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.
I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.
One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!
