Well, people should stop expecting the rumor specs for phones and gadgets to be true. Before we know it, people will make up rumors stating that the next Galaxy phone will have like 2 gigs of Ram, 100 gigs of internal memory and a 3 GHz quad-core processor alongside with Nokia's 41mp camera. People think they live in an utopia, when it comes to new releases, better get back down to earth..

      As long as it has a card slot expansion, removable battery and an HD display, then I'm okay.

        It 's likely that people now are expecting too much, that 's why when they see some leak units called galaxy s3 with not quite high spec and good looking, many comments will be " uhm, that 's fake" or "I am certainly sure that it is not galaxy s3". Hah, so anyone saw the real galaxy s3 yet? To be honest, I don't know whether ít is S3 or not, but I think the design of S3 is very similar if not exact to this unit( after S1 and S2, I do not belive that Sammy can create any hand some phone).

            If these really are the specs of the new S3 Galaxy, then its a major letdown.
            * The 28nm S4 Snapdragon Krait CPU's (ala the HTC One S) should be FASTER and more POWER EFFICIENT than any 32nm A9 based quad-core albeit an Exynos.
            * The 1 year old iphone 4S's PowerVR SGX543MP2 handily overpowers the Mali 400.
            * The Competition has already started the shift to 12MP (Sony Xperia S)
            The 1st and 2nd generation Samsung Galaxy S phones stood head & shoulders above the competition and set the benchmarks for the flagship smartphones of their time. Unless the specs provided for the S3 are completely off it doesn't look like S3 will be continuing in the footsteps of its predecessors.

                    The hardware looks pretty good. It's good that samsung raises the bar continuously, no wonder it sells by the truckloads

                      The Man, 20 Apr 2012Pure Fail you mean What kind of company makes a phone tha... moreMega LOL

                      Why you want an quad-core processor when the OS still can't take full advantage over it...

                      Besides name just a single app that takes a fully support and benefits of an Dual-Core...and now name a single one that can get full benefits from an quad-core..

                      No matter how many cores you have the OS still laggy and overwhelmed

                            This time samsung did not deny the design. Engadget reached out to Samsung for a comment, and here's the not-so-surprising response:

                            "We will be able to tell you more at the 2012 Samsung Mobile Unpacked."

                                        It's got an SD card slot so I'm keeping an eye on it for sure now.
