My friend said that this is not the Galaxy SIII but a device to compete with the HTC One S using a sAMOLED HD screen, 8 MP camera and the MALI 400 GPU. It is just an upgrade to the S II for the mid price phone.

        Upgrade wise.....Epic fail samsung. But still it's going to be quite a treat to watch the battle of the quad core droids....gsIII, ascend D quad, one X etc. My money is on D quad

            confirmed for fake, this guy just wants to make money from this claim

            exactly how would this guy get a hold of the S3? is he a samsung employee? he would have gotten fired instantly for releasing this video. it's very easy to edit some files in the phone's system to say different hardware specs, and I love how it says this may not be the final design, because he doesn't want to get bashed when the S3 is actually released and is different from that fake model in the vid. LOL

              AnonD-38309, 20 Apr 2012Cant be happier that I bought the XS. Not only does it have... moreCome on now... no need to troll!!

              The Xperia S has no expandable memory - about 26gb you can use... alongside 32gb memory card - GS3 will give you about 42+gb.... so that's a daft comparison...

              You can't comment on design, because no-one has seen the GS3 yet, so again, daft comparison...

              Screen - again - unconfirmed - daft comparison!

              In fact all of it is until we get the reveal on May 3rd!!

              BUT

              The main issue with the Xperia S is that many contracts now are 18-24 months - and the XPS is going to look severely dated by the end of the year, let alone in 12 months...

              I like the XPS, I like the HTC One X, I can't comment on the GS3 yet because I, like everybody else in the world HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET!

              :)

                      I know the DESIGN is not final..but then the specification like CPU, GPU and others should be final right..I'm waiting too damn long from galaxy s and it ended in HUGE disappointment..

                          What is it with Samsung?
                          They already have 16MP Camera http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_announces_15ghz_exynos_chipset_16mp_camera-news-3200.php
                          News date 1/10/2011
                          Why they didn't use this Camera instead 8MP?
                          And why not SAmoled+ they already put it on HD resolution Galaxy Tab 7.7! And what with Internal storage 16GB its old news they have 32/64GB why don't use them
                          I think Samsung is deliberately ruining things up!
                          At least call this phone Galaxy SII +

                            2050mAh is not enough :-( Lets hope for a XL version with a larger battery.

                              Cant be happier that I bought the XS. Not only does it have a much better screen, design, camera, it also has double the internal storage and is PS certified. Oh, and did I mention that Haybausa will be released by June.

                              Ok Samsung fans, before you bash me with your "OMGICSANDQUADCORE" comments, I don't need Quadcore and XS will probably have ICS by May or early June so...

                                I kinda agree. This device has been hyped to the moon and back, yet these specs are no better than HTCs One X. I hope there's more to the phone than meets the eye, something that isn't necessarily about specs. Some refreshing design, wireless recharging, etc. Would be nice. Samsung really needs to meet the expectations that they themselves have created.

                                  Stop complaining about the design people. The article clearly says its a test piece. Its not the final design

                                    I was expecting 12MP cam, the rest seems ok but they need to compete with HTC one x, if the cpu ram screen size, reso, internal space are similar, whats the difference. te final products Looks?, thats not enought in my opinion
