This is the alleged Galaxy S3:

Some say that this is a mockup created by a fan and not an actual pic of the product, however, look what was shown in one of Samsung's videos shown at CES:

Samsung CES 2012 Press Conference: Pushing Boundaries - YouTube (fast forward to 7:12)

Here it is for you lazy people:

What do you think? :p

There's a slight difference in that the device shown in the video has a home button, but I'm sure most phones go through multiple revisions before one is finally settled on, and the bezel on the phone in the video is way too thin to be an S2.

All of the above links were posted in this thread on XDA so credits to all involved.

The buzz compared with the next iphone is hardly noticeable. Like you said, the 2 designs presented are very diferent i think.

It looks alot like the iPhone 5 concept phone that showed up even before 4S came out.

I would bet on fake but even worse cause its a fake without imagination :) it copied the 'fakeness' on iphone lol

It looks very similar to the device shown in the video by Samsung, and that device doesn't look like any of samsungs current smartphones, so it could be the next galaxy s.

This post isn't about the iPhone so I'm not sure why you mentioned it.

What the picture or the one in the video by samsung?

The video.

The answer is simply no, whatever they showed in the video is probably not the S3 and more like a photoshopped/stretched out S2. OP does have a point that the bezel is definitely thinner and screen is larger as well, but it would ridiculous for Samsung to stick with the dedicated buttons at the bottom when ICS is designed to have them on screen. I expect the S3 will be similar to Nexus in at least some ways. Do a quick search and you will find at least some of the confirmed specs like a 1.8ghz dual core processor and 4.6" screen.

Got a source for the confirmed specs? The rumours I've seen point to a 2ghz quad core processor which is more fitting considering every galaxy s phone has been a powerhouse and way ahead of everything else at the time of release.

You might have a point about the hardware buttons, but google doesn't dictate that a phone can't have them as far as I know so it's a possibility.

There are several reasons it is fake. Low quality image, rough sides (especially in first image, in the side pose). And the interface. That horrible horrible circle. :s

Even though I posted the pic, it's more the video I'm interested in :p

It has some differences to a galaxy note (thinner bezel, more square home button, no Samsung logo) .. Quite confident it's not an existing device.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
