A 4.5" inch screen is more probable. I agree.
Well, a possible release date of Jelly Bean has yet to be confirmed. And if released in August this year, this certainly will not be in the Note 2. Jelly Bean will first arrive in Nexus 4 and it will take developers a few weeks to overlay their UI's on newer models
Touchwiz 5.0 is obvious for new devices coming out with ICS, so no need to include that in the specifications. Existing S2 and and Note will have ICS soon, but with the existing Touchwiz 4.0 interface.
16MP looks promising since sensors were already introduced late last year, Oct. 2011
Battery seems to be appropriate for the S2, since the battery compartment size will be able accommodate larger batteries due to the .2" inch increase in screen size.
3D may or may not appear. What remains suspicious is how Samsung decided to refer their new AMOLED displays as SAMOLED 3. HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW!
HzO is a possibility, but seeing that Samsung has to shell extra money out of their pockets puts this feature into question.
2GB will be able to accommodate more processes to run in the background, and since the CPU will be bumped, 2GB doesn't look like too much.
The Exynos 5250 (A15) that you are referring to may be featured in Phablets and or Tablets. This we will have to wait and see.
I think a lot of these updates are obvious, so as the clock ticks, we sit down and think.

What analysis? Have you been tracking CPU developments and historical lead times for flagship phones? Very cool if you have been.
Upgrading S3 to Nexus size makes sense. But 2.0ghz is a big jump. Is that equivelant rank/cost of 1.2ghz when S2 was new?
Note 2 going quad... well of ALL the phones on the market this would make most sense. Note should be first with Quad.
2GB sounds nice but doesn't smell right. I hope my phone doesn't turn into a bloated POS like windows that needs 1GB RAM and 1GHz CPU just to run!
3d... who knows. If they think it will make them money then sure. They are using all their ammo on Apple and not saving stuff till later like many companies often do. Let's hope they make it as good as they can and save nothing for the S4 / Note2 ;-)

Sad, but true, I have been following the CPU development and historical lead times of flagship phones in a way that presents itself more practically.
It would sound logical to bump the speed to 2.0 GHz since Exynos 4210 can be overclocked to 1.8 GHz stable. Samsung comfortably bumped the Note to 1.4GHz--gives every reason to believe another speed bump is likely for later flagship phones from the company.
I wouldn't be surprised though, if Samsung made USB 3.0 debut on the Galaxy Note 2. There are initial reports that USB 3.0 will be introduced in mobile phones later this year. If the Note 2 releases in Early Fall, then there is time for Samsung to make changes to its PCB diagram in order to accommodate USB 3.0

I would bet, but that would be just stealing your money.
1) No 3D... Sorry Samsung hasn't committed to it and WILL NOT until 3D actually matures
2) HzO is possible... but highly IMPROBABLE. Why would Samsung cut out of its own Profits for something that isn't quite necessary in the 2012 year ??
3) Battery sizes are way off. The SGSII should be lower (~2,000mAh) and NOTE2 should be higher (~3,000mAh) from my estimates
4) Camera performance is wrong. Samsung makes the best lenses in any smartphone (besides Nokia) but they do so in small increments to just match the competition and not completely overwhelm them. 12MP is what will be released.
5) 2GB RAM is way too much. Its just a waste of resources. I am telling you now that it will still be 1GB RAM or 1.5GB, nothing more.
6) Processors. Samsung has proven this last two releases to be superior to the competition but not by a large margin. 2012 will see tricore and quadcore A9's and possibly a dual-A15 before the years end.
Quadcore makes no sense for Android.
Tricore is much better (same performance, better battery life).
But the chip makers are not making any tricores, so indeed the SIII will have a Quadcore A9.
The NOTE successor (if there's one in the works) should get a beefier Quadcore A9, otherwise it will be one of the first to get the next-gen A15 chip.
7) SGSIII won't have a 4.65in screen. That would inflate the device's body larger than the SII. I think a more modest 4.5in screen will arrive.
8) You failed to mention OS, which is just as important as those specs. Obviously the SIII and NOTE2 will come with ICS. But Samsung is making a new version of TouchWizz (v5) which may debut on the NOTE2 (if your lucky on the S3). Remember Android 5.0 JellyBean will be out around August bringing a few "Groundbreaking" features that were left out from ICS.
I like your ideas, they would make a good successor but you don't know this industry that well.
Have you noticed the shift from Nexus One to Nexus S?
-much more polished, fluid, easy experience but not really an upgrade compared to the competition (eg Galaxy S)
Or the shift from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus?
-modest upgrade but a SII is still in the same league and the NOTE is superior to what is suppposed to be "Androids best".
I will post a more accurate description of the successors (if any) soon.

Some of your points I agree with; some I do not know enough about to comment on. This one however I disagree with. It's true that 2GB would be a waste of resources given the current demands of Android and common apps, but in the consumer electronics and computing industries they don't always go on what a device needs.
External platter-based hard drives do not need USB 3.0. LCD TVs do not need ridiculous 600Hz refresh rates. If it costs very little to increase the hardware to a level where they can market it further, that's often enough for them to do it. RAM is so cheap to manufacture right now that it wouldn't surprise me if they did start using 2GB or even more in Android phones. That's not to say it will happen; just that the fact it would be a waste doesn't mean it won't.

Please please please no 3d.
I'll take a higher quality 2D screen over a 3D screen any day.

I'm sure if 3D is implemented, there will be an option to disable / enable it. Not a biggie, lol. I think the chances of 3D is 60/40.

Those points I agree with, you should update the OP (first post).
I also want to add:
-At 4.5in the SIII will have the same phsyical size as the SII since the Navigation buttons will be replaced with the on-screen ones
-There's new additional features for the SIII (LTE, NFC, Barometre, etc etc) which also takes up space in the phone
-Therefore, the increase in battery capacity will be limited to current technology (which is why 2,000mAh seems more plausible)
-Note: it doesn't cost much to bump 2AH to 2.3AH material wise, but it costs much more for the machines that make those batteries to properly stack the cloth of lithium.
-Apple and Samsung are direct competitors for cameras. They both try to match each others specs (not to surpass it). The difference in performance of 16MP and 12MP isn't much different but as a marketing tool it is.
Samsung has many lenses 0.3MP, 1.3MP, 2MP, 3.2MP, 5MP, 8MP, 12MP, 14.1MP, 16MP, 17.3MP for mobile devices.
So marketing wise, Samsung is more poised to choose a 12MP rear lens.
We know the SIII will be released before the NOTE2, and the fact that NOTE is supposed to be a beefier and larger version of Galaxy S.

Thing is, if the A15 performs as well as ARM claims, a dual core 2.0GHz Exynos 5250 should handily outperform a quad-core Tegra 3 (at the current 1.3GHz multicore speed) in CPU related tasks, in addition to being cheaper to manufacture and much much easier on power (28nm die size)
A15 is supposed to be 40% faster than A9 at the same clock speed, and the 5250 is being launched at 2.0GHz, which would give it TWICE the performance of the current N7000 Note (or Tab 7.7), CPU-wise.
That's not what I'd consider "low-end" for 2012.
^^^ I'd figure since Samsung plans to refresh its entire Galaxy Range of Products
5250 won't appear in devices 'till late this year--probably Q3
Unless Samsung makes an ultra-portable camera (smaller than compact) for mass market then 16MP that was introduced late last year, is reasonable for such a thing. However, since 16MP sensor is intended for mobile devices, and Samsung is already ready to put forward this to mass production-- chances are, we might see this in high-end devices this year, regardless. Just a thought...

Yeah, and probably it won't have a battery. You'll need a power outlet to use it and the mobility depends strictly on the length of the cable .
At least this seems to be the new thing. Who needs a big battery when you can have a thin and useless phone?

Those Specs are Real:
The Galaxy S5 has a Snapdragon 805
And the Galaxy S6 will have the Snapdragon 810
You wont see the 64 bit 8 core Snapdragon 810 untill the Galaxy S6 even though it is already fully working and finished.

This might be a bit early but I got the sauce on the Galaxy S8. Samsung is planning to change the brand name from Galaxy to Universe so it will be the Universe S8. They hope to have Quantum Computation or xQC down by then. Early estimates show it will have up to a 5000% performance increase. Battery Life still 3 hours of screen time though.

someone just traveled on a time machine and had a peek over specs
This thread is based on complete speculation and has nothing to do with this sub forum which is for the Samsung Galaxy S 5.

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Specs, Features, Release date and price
Galaxy S7 is the upcoming smart phone from Samsung and Galaxy S7 Edge is the curved variant of the forthcoming flagship. Many new rumours and reliable reports appears every day about the upcoming Galaxy S7 flagship. Now we are going to roundup the most reliable of them.
Samsung Galaxy S6 flagship was launched back in March and released into the Global market in April with a price tag around $800. That flagship achieved a great success in the South Korean tech giant's history and also made a big step towards the use of powerful Chipsets and Most advanced technology in phones. Now Samsung is going to announce the next phablet in Galaxy Note series under the name Galaxy Note 5 in August ahead of IFA 2015 in September. This phablet also borrowed many specs and design from the most successful Galaxy S6 flagship. The Galaxy S7 is the successor of Galaxy S6 and is also going to bring a revolution in smartphones with its exclusive specs and features.
According to most reliable sources, Samsung is going to release the next flagship in Galaxy S series with 5.2 inches display. The predecessors of Galaxy S7 featured with 5.1 inches display and so that in the next flagship, Samsung may increase the screen size by one inch. Samsung is also going to reduce the side bezel size in Galaxy S7. So we will see almost bezel less Galaxy S7 in coming months. By reducing the bezel size, Samsung ultimately increases the screen to body ratio. Galaxy S5 features 69% screen to body ratio and Galaxy S6 features 71% screen to body ratio. So that the next flagship may feature screen to body ratio upto 75% because of the reduction in bezel size. Some rumours also claim that Samsung is going to make Galaxy S7 with flexible body and screen. If that really true, then we will see the S7 flagship with flexible body like LG G Flex. According to insider reports, Samsung already started working on Flexible displays.
Galaxy S7 Edge is the curved variant of Galaxy S7 and features two curvy edges like Galaxy S6 Edge. The dual curvy edged Galaxy S7 Edge offers special functions on both edges like pinning apps, contracts and other. The S7 Edge also features 5.2 inches display like Galaxy S7.
The Galaxy S5 was released in MWC 2014 with 1080p resolution and Galaxy S6 announced this year MWC in March with 2K or QHD resolution. The successor of Galaxy S6 may feature Super AMOLED Display with 4K resolution. As Samsung already going to release smartphones with 11K resolution in 2018, it is obvious that we see the Galaxy S7 flagship coming in 2016 with 4K resolution. The UltraHD resolution of 4096 x 2160 is a very impressive feature of Galaxy S7. So we will the forthcoming flagship with the pixel density about 890 ppi. The Galaxy S7 Edge flagship also features the same UltraHD resolution for its curvy edge screen.
Galaxy S6 is powered by Exynos 7420 Chipset which has brought a revolution in chipset with its 64-bit support and amazing benchmark score. It is an Octa Core Processor, four cores clocked at 1.6 Ghz and the remaining four cores clocked 2.0 Ghz. Till now it is the fastest SoC for Android phones and no other chipset can beat it in the near future. The upcoming Note 5 phablet also going to be powered by Exynos 7422 chipset which is the all in one solution for Ram, Chipset, Internal memory and Modem also. So the next Galaxy S flagship from Samsung also will be powered by another remarkable chipset like Exynos 7420 and 7422.
Samsung has been building custom Mongoose cores for about an year. Another side ARM already announced Cortex A-72 cores clocked at 2.5 Ghz. So Samsung may use any one of the above cores for its next Exynos chipset which will be used for Galaxy S7. So the upcoming Galaxy S flagship will be powered by an Octa core, 64-bit processor clocked at 2.5 or 3.0 Ghz. The chipset will be based on 14nm FinFET process like Exynos 7420 and consumes less power also. The full details about this SoC will be revealed in coming months. Galaxy S7 Edge also will be powered by the same chipset of Galaxy S7.
Previously Samsung used 2GB Ram for Galaxy S5 and 3GB Ram for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge devices. The upcoming Galaxy Note 5 flagship is coming with 4GB Ram for first time from Samsung. By increasing Ram along with Processor cores and Clockspeed the speed and multitasking capability of the device increases enormously. According to present expectations, the Galaxy S7 flagship will boast 4GB or 5GB Ram. With this great amount of Ram coupled with the best processor, the next flagship from Samsung tops the score in benchmarks like Geekbench and Antutu.
In Galaxy S5 which was released in 2014, the South Korean giant used 16 MP Rear camera and 2MP Front facing camera. Surprisingly, in Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge also Samsung used the same 16MP Rear camera with some enhancements to the picture quality and speed. But the South Korean tech giant used 5MP front camera in Galaxy S6 to make selfies and video calling better. Till now, Apple iPhone camera is only the best in smartphone cameras. But the quality of the camera of Galaxy S6 is also similar to the camera of iPhone. As Samsung didn't increase the resolution of Camera in Galaxy S6, it will definitely raise the resolution of the camera of the next Galaxy S flagship. Current rumours and reports are saying that Samsung will use 30MP rear Camera with Optical image stabilization, HDR and other features in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. The front camera resolution also may be increased to 8MP in the upcoming flagship. With this great front camera resolution Galaxy S7 may become the best selfie phone in future. Currently only a few phones are available with 8MP and above front camera resolution.
$800 for this handset? pretty expensive. But nice features, i admit
$800 for this handset?
$800 for this handset?
Seeing as the human eye will struggle to see any difference past 8k, I am very curious as to where you're getting your information from so as to make a statement like "As Samsung already are going to release smartphones with 11k resolution in 2018"

The controversial new Samsung Galaxy S6 sheds its plastic construction, removable battery, expandable storage and environmental protection for slicker looks.
Samsung Galaxy S6: Learning a new design language
No two ways about it, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a stunner, framed in cool-to-the-touch aluminium, and with a coloured Gorilla Glass 4 rear and front, it's a beautiful phone to behold. It's clad in Gorilla Glass 4 front and back, and the way it gleams and glistens in the light is quite entrancing. The S6 is available in "White Pearl", "Gold Platinum" and "Blue Topaz", but we think it looks best in "Black Sapphire", which you see pictured here.
As you'd expect from a modern smartphone, the S6 is extremely slim (6.8mm) and light (138g), and it feels surprisingly compact in the hand, especially considering there's a 5.1in display up front.
In our view, the S6 delivers the perfect compromise between screen size and one-handed comfort – in fact, it's slightly smaller overall than the Samsung Galaxy S5 – and it combines that with impressive build quality and attention to detail. Even the volume, power and home buttons feel like they've been upgraded: everything about this phone feels perfectly on point.
There are some downsides to the design, however. First, in order to produce such a gorgeous work of art, the removable rear panel, replaceable battery and microSD slot for storage expansion have been consigned to the dustbin.
Second, neither the S6 nor the S6 Edge has an IP rating, so they're not not water and dust resistant like last year's Samsung Galaxy S5 was.
And third, the glass rear of the phones picks up fingerprints like they're going out of fashion. It's easy to clean, but if you own one of these phones, you're going to be spending a lot of your time wiping it on your jeans or the hem of your T-shirt to keep it spotless.
Samsung Galaxy S6: Specifications
The fact that Samsung has gone with its in-house Exynos processor for all global versions of the Galaxy S6 signals the company's growing confidence in its ability to compete with top-tier technology firms such as Qualcomm. The Exynos 7420 SoC has four 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A53 cores and four 2.1GHz Cortex A57 cores, allowing the phone to strike a balance between performance and power consumption for all kinds of tasks. There's 3GB of RAM, which is standard for top-end phones now.
With no microSD card slot, Samsung has made the Galaxy S6 available in multiple storage configurations. The strategy and pricing follow Apple's precedents, but the base model comes with 32GB rather than 16GB, which seems like a direct shot across the bow.
Like last year's Galaxy S5, the physical Home button has an integrated fingerprint sensor, but now you don't have to swipe your finger across it - a simple touch will do. The heart rate sensor on the rear is also still around. We found the one on the Galaxy S5 gimmicky and ultimately forgettable. This one is positioned to one side of the camera hump, making less likely that regular usage will become a habit.

I think you forgot to mention why is it "the iPhone 6s killer". I think you need to compare them meaning you do need to mention about the iphonr
Not to be a party pooper but, this phone came out months ago. We have had the device for a months. A review now is kinda pointless..

This review is considered old. The latest devices in the market boast 4GB RAM and 4K display. The S6 was a great phone at its prime but it has now lost its footing to the Note 5 and other more powerful phones out there. While the camera is a game changer, most of the things you find on it can be found on other phones as well. Furthermore, most developers are put off by the Exynos processor as there is no way to develop custom ROMs for phones with Exynos processor without proper documentation from Samsung.
Also don't forget to mention that the STOCK Galaxy S6 multi-tasking and UI smoothness is... well, not good.
