I think best source of info is Sammobiles Twitter-account. At the moment there is not even rumours about the date when SGS3 is announced as far as I know.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I know, I was just continuing with the sarcasm; doubt anyone would consider such a bad photochop to be the real thing.
[Galaxy S III General] override182:
Sammobile is just a blogger with internal firmware access.. they dont work with internals except on firmwares.. they have been spreading rumors including from eldar which seems irralevent now. Tipsters which leaks to android central, android police and engadget seems good but they r very rare. Mostly r for HTCs. I cant remember sammy renders leaked or even leaked protos
[Galaxy S III General] dadyal:
lol this is joke
[Galaxy S III General] ziggazee:
Say what you will about Eldar, fact is dates and specs are all subject and to change until I they officially announce it, and even then things can change like they did with the galaxy s2 when it went from 1ghz dual core to 1.2ghz. And let's not forget, he was the first to get hold of the galaxy s2 and tell us about the updated super amoled plus screen and other features. He obviously has an insider working at Samsung and from his record, you can't really knock him.. so im pretty sure it'll have a 4.8 in screen and a quad core processor with a ceramic casing.
[Galaxy S III General] coradux:
Lol, It wasn't Eldar the first who said that SGS III will have 4.8 inch display or ceramic back, it was a south-Korean site. And the processor can't be such big secret, it will be one of processors Samsung has already. Big "news", SGS lll is ready to mass production: of course it's ready for mass production now if you want to deliver it in June at least.

Exciting & exclusive inside info

[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Eldar's track record is pretty ****ty to be honest.

Remember these gems:

"Eldar Murtazin is not only the editor of Mobile-Review, but also one of the most well respected and best connected tech journalists on the planet. When he weighs in on a rumor, people listen, and he has been right time and time again. Now Murtazin is weighing in on the Google Phone, aka Nexus One, dismissing the development as fake and claiming that the rumor mill may have been started by Apple. Wow."

Source

"Russian tech blogger Eldar Murtazin just dropped a huge news bomb by saying the yet unannounced Samsung Galaxy S III will land on shelves in April, after an announcement in late February at MWC in Barcelona. Murtazin also strongly hints he got a hold of the new Galaxy S III:

“HD resolution, 12 mpx camera, sw tweaks, android 4 - i like my new phone. Eager to see official announcement in Barcelona,” the blogger tweeted in a series of posts with their context centered around the Galaxy S III and the Nokia Lumia 900."

Do you know this pic?

Higher resolution in a g+ post here from yesterday. Any comments?
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
Looks legit! But who knows...

Look at the contact email addresses:

http://samsung.de/de/news/pressekontakt.aspx
[Galaxy S III General] BJ van Beethoven:
Don't think it's real. Look at the side buttons on the front shot compared to the side profile - completely different.

Anyone heard anything about the press conference in Amsterdam? Doesn't seem like it's actually happened...
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
Because it's the other side like our current S2s, the side photo is the right hand side, power button and camera shutter, with left being volume,
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
Mmm nice, i see a dedicated camera button, and what looks like a speaker up front rather than at the back, which makes sense since its not going to be covered when its laying down.

The design also seems to mimic the galaxy tab N found in germany which samsung used to bypass apple's community design patents, this could very well be legit.
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
Forgot about the Tab N, shares a similar bezel. Hard to tell whether this will have a removable battery though but one sure thing will it have wireless charging? Another member at OCUK spotted this on the image look at the charging symbol!
[Galaxy S III General] chrisjcks:
soooooo fake.

The screen doesn't even keep its shape, perfect at the bottom yet black borders as you go up the screen.

LOL

------

Anyway, when are Samsung announcing the specs, price and footage?
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It seems a render, but it's a photo of a photo, and the best picture yet of the possible device. Most interesting why is the logo of the PR agency there, they work with Samsung so credible in some sense.
[Galaxy S III General] Intratech:
That could be from the wallpaper being dark at the top. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] CA3iR0:
It's the wallpaper in degradé.

It could also be a screen issue. My screen has a larger black border in the right top border than in the other borders.

[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Doubt they are going to get rid of it. I certainly don't want them to.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

That does look legit, as it doesn't have the extremely small bezels of the previous fakes, and keeps in line with samsung's recent designs. Not sure I like it that much tbh, as I don't see the somewhat large metallic frame looking good with a black phone.

EDIT: It does look a bit weird at the bottom though, where the white meets the metal on the lower left of the phone - the shadows and perspective seem off.
[Galaxy S III General] clax6:
do you think they would release a white one first? I think its fake
[Galaxy S III General] Sparksltd:
If that is the gs3 I won't be upgrading to it.

To me is just a thinner version than the gs2.

Boring :thumbdown:
[Galaxy S III General] CA3iR0:
I also dislike the chrome bezel. I Think it's too big. The SGS2 chrome bezel has the right size.
[Galaxy S III General] coradux:
With these bezels up and down it will be huge if the display is 4.8".
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
The 4,8" display size has not yet been confirmed, so it could just as likely be a 4,3" 1024x600 Super Amoled HD Plus one.

Here's the high res shot:
[Galaxy S III General] Xdenwarrior:
Eldar gets all the info from me :)

---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

My grandma made that 2 days ago
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Tell her she's pretty darn good at photoshop. ;)

The dual speakers is also a great indicator of the validity of this picture, as the phone is supposed to launch along the Olympic games, so it is highly likely that Samsung is going to try to sell the SGS3 as a portable multimedia device capable of playing back the broadcast from the olympic games.

EDIT: The shadows of the widgets look wrong, as does the perspective. Could still be the real deal.
[Galaxy S III General] ryn888:
Yeah its fake... a lot of you guys eating Cheese Burger right now.

I have a reliable source he says its dual core 1.5 ghz only. 4" of screen..

Its true because he works at APPLE...
[Galaxy S III General] override182:
Eldar has just tweeted about the render showing he is unsure. He was the one claimed about the ceramics and sorta like seen it and now he is unsure? That guy is a fraud
[Galaxy S III General] override182:
He has just replied to my tweet, he says that its not final. Hmmm
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
He knows nothing.
[Galaxy S III General] Evangelion01:
If this is the S3 I will be highly disappointed. In terms of design, it's a massive downgrade from the Galaxy Nexus. Way too much going on; physical instead of on-screen buttons, and a bloody massive Samsung logo on the front of the phone. Poor, poor, poor design.

To those of you talking about perspective and shadows - it's a render. It's not a photograph.

I certainly hope this isn't the final design. Don't Samsung get it? Apple has probably the most valuable brand in the world, yet even they don't plaster their logo onto the front of their devices... because the simplicity is part of the beauty!
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Samsung != Apple when it comes to design, if samsung didn't add the logo they would probably get sued.
[Galaxy S III General] :
On the other hand it could always look like this.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
The bezel/speaker is really ugly. I don't like it. I won't even buy a tablet with the speakers on the front.

[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I think it's going to be a rotary dial my good friend who works at burger King said that because he likes apples lol
[Galaxy S III General] adam1460:
Fake. Common sense guys, theres only ONE sensor (there's 2 on a white S2, wouldnt make sense for Samsung to drop the proximity/light sensor :S), no speaker grill, it STILL has physical buttons and I don't see any inductive charging/docking pins. Samsung WILL want to differentiate and make their 3rd flagship perfect, so expect no physical buttons, TW5 (LOL check the notification bar, STOCK ICS notification bar with TW4) which will destroy competition overlays and don't forget... a notification LED. It will expand upon the GalNex's design, not downgrade
[Galaxy S III General] :
Actually, according to the picture the speaker grill is at top between the white and the grey
[Galaxy S III General] adam1460:
There's still a missing sensor. And I read somewhere else thats part of a stereo speaker, lol. Still think its the real deal?

I just hope Samsung don't ruin it with OTT branding
[Galaxy S III General] :
I for sure am not hoping its the real deal. I really dont like it if thats how its gonna look like :(
[Galaxy S III General] ziggazee:
looks real to me.. i dont think its the final design though, i think they'll drop the front hardware button for a larger screen with the home buttons at the bottom of the screen like the galaxy nexus. I think it look decent, not sure about the bezel though. Eldar knows something, though he's been wrong about certain things like predicting dates and launches, which, to be fair can even change in the last minute, so you can't really say these things for sure. But he's not predicting when he says that it will be ceramic, his put his rep on the line by confirming its entered prouction so, I'm certain it will at least be housed in ceramic.. not sure about the screen or other processor specs. The date in the screen says it will be announced on the 22nd of May :/
[Galaxy S III General] adam1460:
95% chance it's not real. I don't know why there's only one sensor instead of two, and the phone would be way too wide. Also, they would add inductive charging/docking pins as a certainty too. There's no pins present on that render, same with a notification LED.
[Galaxy S III General] Extreme184X:
until Samsung themselves announce/releases specs,

I refuse to accept to rumor specs. COME'ON.... 2mp front camera (not upgraded) are you kiddin me....... Every gadget now in days DOUBLE'S or some-what upgrades when you version is released.

will wait for FINAL Specs.
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
You do know that the iphone 4s front camera is 0.3 megapixel right? 2mp is more than enough.

[Galaxy S III General] Sticks02:
Apparently someone's friend works at Samsung and managed to take a picture of what could be the SGSIII.

I daresay this looks much more believable than all the rendered crap that's been floating around. It looks sexy.

And for the lazy people.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
interesting... though reading that link suggests a possible dual-launcher option by Samsung which I myself find a little bit difficult to believe... though I also guess it could just be a 3rd party launcher in that picture... who knows, it's all just speculation!
[Galaxy S III General] diddly3000:
Won't believe nothing til I hear it from an official source. So much crap on the net its not funny
[Galaxy S III General] Evangelion01:
I'd say there's a very high chance of this one being fake. Stock ICS on a Samsung device? No way - Samsung are too stupid for that, at least for now. The phone also looks too wide. Remember, The Galaxy S line is aimed at 'normal' consumers. This device would only appeal to the Galaxy Note crowd.

Let's see. I'm glad that the white device that was shown above isn't the GS2, hopefully the real thing will be more aesthetically pleasing.
[Galaxy S III General] mchu6am4:
Still i say whenever its released i just hope the build quality is addressed and not cheap plastics and secondly the speakers at decent quality!

[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
It's a fake for sure.

First of all it wouldn't make any sense to have a quadcore A9 released as their flagship phone with their A15 SoC just a couple of months away, the dual-core A15 is both faster and less consuming than a quad A9, and cheaper to manufacture. So far that Exynos 4412 has only been leaked in some kernel files and that has been way before they announced their 5250 chipset.

Secondly I do not believe Samsung will switch to an aluminium case any time soon as that's just something people have been *****ing about and there's absolutely no reason to, as plastics are both more robust and shock-absorbant, and lighter. Remember that Samsung is a mega-conglomorate from building phones, televisions, ships to nuclear reactors and have a huge R&D department in materials and plastics.

My bet is that it'll come out a bit later than the S2 did in the same time-period of the year but it will come with the A15 SoC. If it does come out with the quad core A9 I'll be disappointed.
[Galaxy S III General] tfn:
First of all

Thats a Galaxy Note Picture

Having said that I am all welcome for a Quad core phone simply because I might be able to run Chrome Os on it :D

Maybe with all this hammering from Apple, google might end Android when it reaches OS 5 or whatever and switch to chrome OS with true PC like functions and everything Cloud based.

So for that maybe the bigger ram will also be goody.

Just some thoughts :D

May be sammy is fed up of apple's torturing as well, look at HTC some of their phones will be banned from the USA.

[Galaxy S III General] MrPhilo:
The Galaxy S3 should be a Exynos 5250, Dual-Core Cortex A15 at 2Ghz, it should be on par with its Exynos 4412 Quad-Core Cortex A9. But the A15 should provide better stuff, they are both are manufactured at 32nm.

The Exynos 4412 is likely to have Mali 400MP2 (2 GPU).

The Exynos 5250 is likely to have Mali T604 or T604MP2 (2 GPU)

These are my guesses so don't take them to heart :)
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
And this amongst the multitude of silly and useless posts is the most sensible post of them all and i concur.;)
[Galaxy S III General] TheSobadef:
This isn't true, in all likelihood, the S3 will use the new Exynos processor which uses a dual-core A15 chipset... (Also it probably won't use any physical buttons...)
[Galaxy S III General] 04u:

i can confirm that most of this specs are bullcrap...

samsung still doesnt even have any beta device, they for now have just few ideas what next flagship will have...i can just say dualcore exynos and hd screen. thats all(at least thats the plan for now).

will the cpu be clocked at 2ghz or will it have 2gb of ram its still unknown even for samsung.

from what ive seen and heard we prolly wont see sgs3 before march-april.

just some internal info

I can't wait if all the specs are true. If not at least the bigger resolution will make me happy.

Doesnt it replaces already? What can you do with a pc that you cant with a smartphone/tablet?
[Galaxy S III General] Pirlodroid:
unnecessary specs at this moment for a smartphone I think, only battery killer specs. And we need better camera (not just more MP) on SGSIII
[Galaxy S III General] CA3iR0:
To have a better camera we dont need more resolution. Resolution is not photo quality, just size! What we need is some better lenses (vario-tessar, carl zeiss, etc) that support optical zoom (digital zoom should never be invented) like i had a few years ago on my old Sharp 903.

I'm not saying that the sgs2 has a bad camera! But it could be better.

[Galaxy S III General] spirouzbe:
Its still a bit hard for business working to do everything on the tablet. As an IT Consultant in infrastructure matters its quite difficult to manage servers on everyday basis. One more thing is the compatibility issues with todays infrastructures.

Another hard part is writing down long documents. We are so used to Word that its not so easy to change the writing environment and produce the same amount of writing in the same amount of time. Writing 2/3 pages on the tablet is ok but writing documents with 100/200 pages becomes a pain.

And finaly as a gamer i think that the phone/tablet has still some work to do to achieve to play top level games ;)

I hope that the specs of next years tablets are gona be enough to be able to virtualise different OS on the same platform. For me that would be a great advantage. Switching between Windows 8/Android 4/Linux for business purposes would be a marvelous step forward.

vmWare is actually going that way !

[Galaxy S III General] raptor22:
Personally, I think Samsung will go quad-core for the sake of advertisement since HTC and LG are there with Tegra 3 already.

Then again, they might release a S III mini with the Exynos 4212. Samsung made it clear they prefer not to rely on competitors like Qualcomm for chipsets.

There has been a pretty substantial drop in price for SGS2 already...

I doubt they will drop it down much more, however that is inevitable because new better devices are released pretty often nowadays.

Don't expect to buy it for 50 pence though.
