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.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
