              well lately they made Galaxy S advance which is an upgrade for galaxy S lovers....so maybe what we are seeing here is the galaxy S II advance and the galaxy S III is totally something else.... remember that galaxy S have one core galaxy S advance gets dual.....anyway it is just an idea ;)

                AnonD-455, 20 Apr 2012I believe this thing will kick One X on the butt. Though I ... moreI agree with those who speculate that the REAL S3 is been hidden away and that Sumsung will surprise us.

                And I also agree with this. It can be a 8 core running at 2GHz, 4GB RAM 128GB expandable storage, a 3300MA battery and with 24MP camera but it still won't have the looks or the UI of the One X. And for me the UI is more important than the hardware spec.

                  4.6" screen with 720 screen res on a lousy 2050mAh battery? How thick plastic must sammy use? Make space for more battery you donkeys!

                  About the same battery power as the - more than one year - old Motorola Atrix with a lower qHD res on a smaller 4.0" screen. And I suppose this will get 1GB RAM - just as the Atrix - and to be fair it's the higher RAM that eats battery. There is so much more space in this much too big SIII (if true to be 4.6"), to have such a small battery. Be sure to buy additional chargers for work/school and car.

                  Especially weak of sammy AFTER seeing Motorla having made such a glorious RAZR MAXX with 3300mAh battery and smart actions (the ladder of which sammy has promised to copy in their SIII).
                  What about Webtop, MotoCast? sammy needs to copy that too, to give sammy owners a versatile product near to what Moto gives. Dont forget HDMI port this time. Stop screwing your customers with annoying add-ons for something that basic.

                      April 1st!? That video is so blatantly a fake - the screen doesn't move exactly with the phone in his hand - it's subtle, but it does shimmer around a bit.

                      Then when his finger is over the screen, you can see the hard edge around his finger.

                      And when side-by-side with the Nexus, it doesn't look as natural.

                      When it jumps to the camera, they cut to custom ROM running an ICS camera.

                      Plus, why shoot it in a dark area of room - screens aren't that dim anymore.

                      Come on GSMArena, don't fall for these fake videos! I'm loosing faith in you!

                            I know that the specs are not as spectacular as everyone is hoping them to be, but the phone is still going to be one of the best phones available if not the best.

                            I would chose this phone over the One X because of 2 things that mean a lot to me. An expandable memory card slot as I have a 32GB micro SD. And from the last picture it looks like the battery is removable which I think is brilliant because I always carry an extra battery with me.

                            The specs are fine for me but what I want most is an Amoled Plus screen rather than a PenTile one.
