As far as concepts and mock designs go, this is probably the most believable rendition of the Samsung Galaxy S III we have ever seen, even if it could be a fake.

So are we looking at Samsung’s next flagship Android smartphone? Just by the design alone, we know a lot of Samsung fans out there are hoping that this is the real deal. But http://allaboutsamsung.de/ — the blog that discovered the leaked image – presents some compelling reasons to believe that this is indeed the much awaited Galaxy S III. It all centres around the small logo print you see at the bottom right corner of the image that reads “Webber Shandwick Worldwide”.

allaboutsamsung.de argues that in Germany, Weber Shandwick — one of (if not) the largest PR agency in the world — has Samsung as one of its key account. The blog postulates that the image could have originated from an internal product briefing that the agency conducted in preparation for a special Samsung Unpacked event that is apparently scheduled to happen on May 22 in London just before the Olympics. The blog says that Samsung is going to use the 2012 Olympics as a major platform to market the Galaxy S III to a worldwide audience.

Assuming that the image is real, we can see a great deal about the design of the Galaxy S III. Most obvious is the ultra-thin design (very likely to be under 8mm thin), then there’s an additional front-facing loudspeaker located right at the bottom of the home button which is in line with the current trend of Samsung devices like the revised Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 and the Galaxy Note 10.1.

In addition, for the first time, Samsung has also added a dedicated camera button on the Galaxy smartphone. This suggests that the new Samsung flagship is a serious digital shooter as well. And then, there’s also that very thin bezel flanking a possible HD Super AMOLED display packing at least 720p resolution or perhaps even more. We’re guessing that the screen size would be around 4.7-inches but to be entirely honest we’re not sure if that thin bezel design is going to be practical. Having a bezel means you can comfortably hold the device without accidentally tapping on the screen. We’re not sure how Samsung is going to overcome this.

So what do you think? Is this the real deal Galaxy S III? If it is, what are your thoughts on the design? It looks rather humdrum and cheap to us.

Another Rumors:

Little by little, day by day, bits and pieces of information about the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy S III is revealed. This time around, we find information about the kind of processor that Samsung plans equip in its latest flagship Android smartphone.

An unnamed Samsung executive revealed to the Korea Times that one of the company’s 32-nanometer chips will debut in the Galaxy S III.

The unnamed Samsung executive made the comment after it was revealed that the company would be reducing its reliance on Qualcomm processors in favour of its own processors.

Last year, Samsung updated the kernel specification for its new processor on Kernel.org, stating that it would be marketed as a Exynos 4412 chip that would feature four processing-cores. The chip has a 32-nanometer quad-core design with ARM Cortex-A9 cores capable of running at speeds up to 1.5GHz.

Quad-core processors are the talk of the town at the moment and it’s safe to assume Samsung to bring quad-core processing power to its top of the line Android device in the form of Exynos 4412 — although nothing is certain at this point. Performance-wise, the 32-nanometer processor will provide up to 26% more than Samsung’s current 45-nanometer line-up. At the same time the new 32-nanometer core is expected to yield a 50% or more improvement on battery life.

At this point, it is not known which GPU Samsung intends to pair with the quad-core Exynos chip. Many will be looking to compare Samsung’s overall offering with Nvidia’s Tegra 3 technology, Apple’s A5X processor and Qualcomm’s new dual-core Krait chips (which are being used in the HTC One series of devices).

With the frequency of rumours about the Galaxy S III increasing, we can expect a launch or at least an announcement of the device to happen soon. Samsung has said that it will debut the Galaxy S III before the second half of the year at an event organised specifically to announce the device.

A much talked about date is May 22 where Samsung might hold an event in London ahead of the 2012 Olympics. It is widely speculated that Samsung will leverage on the global event to market the Galaxy S III. Nothing is official at the moment and all we can do now is wait for more info to be revealed.
