[Galaxy S III General] Evangelion01:
That picture from PhoneArena looks very convincing. That makes me unhappy.

Massive Samsung logo slapped onto the front of the screen. Physical buttons, despite being ugly, are acceptable for now. But that ugly logo on the front? Disgusting.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
I like the logo. If you don't too bad I guess.

Must admit the photoshopped version looks better especially the middle button.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I wouldn't judge before it's actually released, as the phone in the recent pics could be an earlier prototype(doubt it'll have such a small home-button). I'm at least satisfied that they've minimized the bezel on the sides of the screen.
[Galaxy S III General] Evangelion01:
There's reason behind why Apple doesn't have logos on the front of the iPhone and why Google forces Nexus manufacturers to move their logos to the back of the phone. It's distracting and adds nothing gainful to aesthetics.
[Galaxy S III General] raf2k:
The design is disappointing. Nothing revolutionary.

I realy hope that battery life and new TW will be WOW, otherwise One X will be my next phone.

Samsung 2012 GALAXY line-up I9300, I9500 & N8000 Specs revealed

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Samsung-2012-GALAXY-line-up-I9300-I9500-N8000-Specs-revealed

N8000??? Tablet?
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Yep that's your opinion nothing more. And btw if you like apples design get the hell out of here and wait for the iPhone 5.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I'd rather have the 5250 as well, but that just isn't happening. As long as the battery lasts the entire day, with everything syncing in the background, I'm a happy man, but I'm just saying that Samsung could have hit it out of the park with an S4/5250 + 3000+mAH battery combo.

Hopefully they'll offer an extended battery as an accessory.

Note 2 perhaps? The exynos 4412 is pin to pin compatible with the 4210 so it's not that hard to imagine Samsung offering us an upgrade.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
The 4412 is pin compatible with the 4212; the pin compatibility doesn't mean much at all in reality because of that.
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
That "first real" picture from phonearena looks good imo. Nice curved edges, nice looking home button but gtfo with those capacitive buttons. Why a menu button on Android 4.0?
[Galaxy S III General] kova05:
Is the home button on pic. hardware or touch? I tink touch with white lights!!
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Must have misread then. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Looks like new models will launch with buggy 4.0.3, and this alone is pretty bad.

I cannot find the "WOW" factor in any of the specs as when it was the case of SI or SII.

Design looks cheap and boring, so I'll probably skip SIII, maybe aim for Note 2 or Iphone 5.
[Galaxy S III General] CamoGeko:
Why not mate?? Many, many apps still require the soft menu button because they don't have a on-screen menu button...

Pretty sure it will be kept as a hardware button.
[Galaxy S III General] raf2k:
Haha! Why are you so hostile? Every1 has a right to express himself.

This thread is not just about how amazing Samsung is.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
How old are you?

Anyway, back to subject...

3 models are expected, and probably several variants will follow as SII, I'm actually wondering which option will developers choose.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Doubt the latest "leak" from PA. My reasons --

1] you can see a reflection of the person’s hand on the carpet! [bottom-left corner of the pic]

2] since this phone has its screen off, why are the physical buttons lit up?

3] why would the multitask button look like the standard menu button?

4] they probably aren't real buttons - but stickers. Certainly looks like the GNex... with photoshopped SGS2-styled buttons.

Thoughts / comments ??
[Galaxy S III General] dnsp:
I would prefer by far a squarish design. Why on earth they changed it, if it ain't broke don't fix it... Galaxy as we know it is rectangular, just change the materials to something more premium and it's good to go.

In my opinion a physical home button is very handy to wake up the device.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
To #3 - Because it is the menu button. They can have long press on the home button for multi tasking again.
[Galaxy S III General] bgstcola:
I hope this design is real. It looks perfect to me. I think rounded design is superior to the square design. Fits better in the hand and in the pocket.
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
I don't know how this stupid question came in my mind, but have to ask it. If we have no physical home button on SGS3, how we will go recovery and download mode ?:D
[Galaxy S III General] Myreality:
There will be a Homebutton ;) 1000%
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
The logo has a purpose, it tells every isheep that this rectangular contraption isn't an iphone, they think every phone is an iphone.

"Oh nice is that an ipho... oh its samsung ok" tell me this hasn't happened to anyone?
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
Rotflmao. Unreal how true that is even after you tell sheep I would never buy an iPhone.

[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
haven't owned a galaxy nexus have you? or another phone without carrier/manufacturer branding? it's a big deal. aesthetics, status without the status, distraction and it just looks awesome, especially how the galaxy nexus pulls it off as a clean slab of black.
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
the two samsung phones s1 and s2 i used are without carrier label, only samsung logo,i fell no distraction. It,s not that bright to distract me

sent from S2
[Galaxy S III General] mattdm:
1] That's because the phone is in a glass case.

2] Good question, but the phone may be booting...

3] As tietherope said, it is a menu button. I'm actually really glad they're keeping this; it makes way more sense then a multitask button.

4] Perhaps...but I don't think so. Take a look at this page.
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
mmmhmmmm...

Can someone post this image for me? I'm new here, can't post links yet :|
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
duh. :p would make for a nice design if it's similar to the gs3. i was thinking i might be able to live with a physical home button if it's... drum roll... led lit like the nexus one.

[Galaxy S III General] Goooober:
Yeah, they now use glass made by gorillas.
[Galaxy S III General] Beefheart:
My opinion exactly. It looks very nice but I already underclock my SGS2 to 800mhz to conserve battery and it still breezes through everything I throw at it. If the photo in the OP is accurate the SGS III looks beautiful and I love the screen but the 2ghz quad core is totally ridiculous and would never be utilized fully. It's a bit like the technically uneducated thinking the higher the megapixel on a camera the better the camera must be -- it's why it's always the first thing the manufacturers advertise about them. And it's the same here with that CPU, people see the speed of it and assume it makes it the best. It's also Samsung having a **** waving contest with HTC, LG, Motorola and Apple.

Will I get it? Perhaps, although I upgraded on a 24 month contract when the SGSII was released in May 2011 so can't get a new phone until 2013. By which time the SGS IV will be out I assume....
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
They have been advertising their bendable amoled a lot in 2011, but that is a bit over the top.
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
It's all about money ! If every phone company just made one model every two years they would not make as much money and your

Phone provider wants you to buy another phone and if you said 15 years ago do you want app's with your phone you would say no we don't need that

according to the metro newspaper, this image is the galaxy s3.

.
[Galaxy S III General] t4ure4n:
Funny its on page 39 of my copy of metro
[Galaxy S III General] alias_neo:
This is metro guys, it's full of crap, besides, it's not announcing the GS3 it's simply pointing out that devices get announced at MWC.

No way will the GS3 have the near zero bezel in that picture, I call BS.

I'd put money on it.
[Galaxy S III General] tomar5e:
For curiosity sake why does a phone need to have a bezel? Why cant it be all screen?
[Galaxy S III General] spurs_e5:
Looks good to me, especially the 2ghz quadcore.
[Galaxy S III General] alias_neo:
For protection for a start, also, you have to hold the phone together in its case somehow, so there is no way the screen can go all the way to the edges, there has to be a bezel of some sort. Materials and modern process can make that as small as possible, but the bezel (or lack of) in that render is just ridiculous.
[Galaxy S III General] darkchazz:

Now, samsung, put this beauty of a screen in the GS3 and you'll have my money :D
[Galaxy S III General] downwiththebanksters:
The good thing about our phones is they will still be worth around 75% our purchase price if we ever feel the desire to upgrade to the Galaxy S(unicorn). Truth be told, at this point it isn't a unicorn. The guy a few posts above quoting what Exynos chipsets are available, if correct, shows us it'll either be Exy or Tegra 3. My guess is Sammy will keep it Exynos. Mr. Samsung is walking around with a prototype to carriers in the dying empire hoping they will waste months respec-ing and rebranding some for next Thanksgiving's launch. This is good for us in the real world as production will ramp next month for our summer purchase of this next world beating device. We can guess it will have all the doable stuff proposed above, but at this point how much better can our experience actually get? There will be speed/snap increments here and there, bragging rights over the smug & cool apple kids (but we know they'll never loan us their groovy knit hats, or teach us the secrets of ironic facial hair), and hopefully a better camera. We know from Nokia better cameras are possible, but you're always gonna be stuck with small sensors in phones. It's pretty clear that quad or even octo cores provide little user facing benefits save the blue ribbon in a pissing contest. For my 2 cents I hope they improve the DA converter. All I know is this phone is truly amazing, and is probably still the best in the world after almost 8 months, I love it. The damn dirty apes'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands!

It's called progress. If virtual buttons are better than they will go to virtual buttons, no point sticking with hardware buttons 'just cause'.
[Galaxy S III General] adampa1006:
For me person ally though, I don't see the point of them, and I don't want them taking up my screen size. The galaxy nexus is just a 4.3 phone after the buttons take up the screen space. I am hoping the S3 is atleast 4.7 with hardware keys, I want a big full screen.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
+1 to that, and a hardware button will make it easier to wake the phone from sleep rather than using the power button (a preference of mine)
[Galaxy S III General] touness69:
+1 too

I don't get the benefits of having pure software buttons over hardware ones, I mean if it is for having a bezel-less top and particularly bottom like that :

Then it's ok, but just look at the galaxy nexus, THE BEZELS ARE HUGE

So no need to have them really
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Bezel is required for a better grip without touching screen.
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
On a phone, it really isnt.
[Galaxy S III General] touness69:
On the sides yes, I certainly agree with you

But I was actually referring to the edge of the top and bottom
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
Then the phone will get a lot thicker. Need bezels on the side. They can trim a little on top and bottom but if they trim most or all of it, bam! Thick phone.

As regards removable battery - id be astounded and very very disappointed if Samsung didn't have one and i personally would not buy it if they didn't but that isn't gonna happen.

Wishful thinking but i hope Samsung don't price this far too high given the chronic recession many countries are suffering and many of us don't want long contracts and just prefer to buy the phone outright,if it's dearer than €550 ill have to wait until the price goes down, you can get a second hand car for that price!!
