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.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

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

First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.
Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.
When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...
Hi guys,
Is this the Galaxy Note 2? i hope so!

What can we learn from the image?
-HW button for camera
-No HW button but ICS software buttons (like GalaxyNexus)
-Better SAmoled screen higher PPI, i dont think the screen is bigger.
-Edge to Edge screen
-Learning..
Looks pretty good huh?
Tell us what you think of the image and give us your opinion!
If it is, I don't want it! No hardware/dedicated buttons=No deal for me! Most likely this isn't the Note; I'd find it hard-pressed that they'd have a new version built a few scant months after the first Note was released. That would kill Note sales!
it is fake,there are any official information about note 2. but i like this design very much

If the screen size and resolution remains the same then you dont get a higher PPI.

EarlZ maybe was meant like the PenTile vs Samoled Plus. Same res but not the same res. And you know what I mean
From what I understand PPI does not care for subpixel its basically display resolution and display size.. it does not factor in the subpixel count.
Could be the Galaxy S3?
Apparently a snapshot of it was leaked in a promo video at CES this year.
If screen is edge to edge, that wouldn't be good imho. There needs to be a bezel. Otherwise you would have too many accidental presses just by holding the phone.
This is only concept render from conceptphones

A design with such a thin bezel doesn't look too realistic.
Yeah I remember seeing that picture and others on sites but I'm pretty sure it was concept fan art for the Galaxy SIII.
Just compare the sharpness of the camera/earpiece grill vs the sharpness of the image. Obviously it is a render.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
It's sure a fake. Why should they invent a mobile phone without and buttons at the bottom. It's ugly without. Just my opinion
Note 2 most certainly won't have hardware buttons.
I'd rather have them too.
Will mimic the Nexus.
Google has already directed developers to begin developing with that in mind.
This concept is the Samsung Galaxy S3, not the second note (N8000)
Btw N8000 got the wifi certificate some time ago I am looking forward to see the younger brother of my phone.
It's a concept none of us will ever see in real life, but many will dream about.

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

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:
The flaw manifests as a milkiness to the glaze Samsung applies to the rear of the Galaxy S III, which it has said improves durability, reduces the likelihood of visible scratches and helps the handset feel more like a premium ceramic device in the hand. That “special hyper-glaze material” as Samsung referred to it doesn’t appear to have dried entirely clear, however, on top of the base color.

Is "samsung never being good on quality" the reason i never had to make any repairs on all of my families 8 samsung phones?

Whatever the reason might be... How is this possible after all those delays. Wasn't there a single person who noticed this while Samsung was pushing forward the launch date and later, after the launch date, in the period before actually shipping the thing.
I still believe they are trying to dump a batch of pre produced white units before releasing the flinstone blue version. I bet they made a big miscalculation and are confronted with a big preorder for the blue one.

I don't necessarily love that.
....It's just that Samsung is clearly the front innovator here.
As soon as they step up product manufacturing quality and get their commercial vector to focus, they will be on their way to absolute "portable communications + media devices" market dominance (...they may need to get someone new to achieve that focus...).
Myself, I am thinking about this:

Flexible is one thing but can a crease be made in the display by accidentally folding it?
My wifi 7.7 finally came in yesterday. Thing is leaps and bounds over the Nexus 7 I had. Screen is absolutely superb and the speakers are great. Best part is I dont have to worry about it falling apart in my hand like that dam Nexus. When I got it out of the box it was on HC but immediately flashed up a message for the jump to ICS. Im really surprised how smooth it runs on ICS. Ive tweaked it to my liking and disabled some of the crap. But all in all im extremely pleased with it.

Considering my N7 was 250 and my 7.7 was only 270 through Verizon with mobile data for $10 a month with no contract plus a way better screen, better build quality, and looks way better totally worth it. Tegra 3 isn't all that. I don't mind the lack of development so much but I really wish samsung would support this like it really should. There are tabs still being released as new with similar hardware specs and have jelly bean and will still get updated. This tab really shouldn't of had HC out of the box when it was released IMO.
