      love people who can't read "this is NOT the final unit!" It's like when car manufacts put that silly black and white camo on their cars so you can't see the design.

      Samsung will have a shiny, 2012, uber-cool case just waiting for the chipset to be installed but they won't show the outer body until all the chip testing has been completed.


      Too be fait though... i prefer this test unit to the new HTC line up! The One X, S and V just don't cut it as far as looks do for a "premium" handset.

              I cannot see people rushing out to upgrade to this from the S2 quite honestly. It just doesn't come across as that bigger upgrade.

                    I prefer 1X. It seems same material used in S11, cheap looking plastic.

                          I have to say I am quite disappointed I was expecting something better. It's not the CPU or the camera that disappoints but the GPU they should have definitely upgraded that. The rest is fine its on par with the current quad core phones and if it has a Super Amoled Plus screen then it is still going to be the best android phone available.

                          I was absolutely delighted to see a micro SD slot for me memory expansion is a big deal. We will just have to wait till May 3rd to see what the phone looks like cos that is definitely a camouflage cover on it.

                            To the people below that are whining about the look of the SIII, the article clearly states that this is NOT what the final device will look like.

                            "It's important to note that the device shown isn't the final design - it's just a sort of test mule, with all the hardware packed in a box to let the carriers test it. This was done to prevent any leaks of what the final device will look like."

                            Perhaps you guys should read the article before commenting? Just a suggestion.

                              what is this? this is new Tw? what are you doing samsung?
                              it can not be the S3. see the diffrence between S & S2 but… .
                              I mean tw4 is more beautiful and no seriesly different in UI.
                              the design is not as well as it should.
                              realy one x is better. & GNote with permium suit and s note is better.

                                Good ! Waiting for the SGS2 to be at 300$ ! There's no interest to get a SGS3 !

                                And honestly, i don't know even what the SGS2 may offer ME more than my actual SGS does !!!!!!

                                  mikefmv, 20 Apr 2012What about the 5 column display?It's not the final unit.

                                    Disappointing Specifications :(

                                      It can't have only 16 GB. About the screen size, I am satisfied. 4.6 inch is enough. I hope this has 12 MP, to be able to beat the One X(I know the fact that not numbers are important), numbers are attractive. :D
