      AnonD-43357, 18 May 2012if the figures are fake or not is not important. there is s... moreyes friend, there is a Samsung hype. I said that there are lot of other smartphones as powerful or more powerful than s3 thats the fact, s3 is not the best performer in all the benchmark tests, it is not a eye-catching beauty to hold on hand, it is not well priced, its not the best in still camera, but it is the most ugliest. I really hate the design, because they have given that much interesting advertisements and leaked specifications of this same device in GSMarena, than any other devices so far. the only area where I see a big improvement is the memory capacity of the device, thats brilliant.and I don't really like to have some useless features to dump in the device. there are lot of devices coming, they are beautiful also.
      But if you are a real smartphone user and not brand oriented , you will hate the design for sure...all the way I will never ever belive this news.it's faking, and also promoting

          The monstrous LG LS970 Eclipse 4G LTE broke cover once again, revealing two more bits of its specs sheet. In case you missed it the first time around, the Sprint-bound smartphone packs a quad-core Krait processor (at 1.5GHz), 2GB of RAM, 13MP camera, LTE-connectivity and a 4.67" 1280x768px...

          "the new king arrived, Samsung s3 suddenly looks obsolete."

                Galaxy S III gets 9 million pre-orders from 100 global carriers. Without US market..

                WOW ! 9 million without US market ??? nice.
                9 million in just half a month is like 18 million in a month, so lets say around 40 million for 1Q ??? that beats apple's 37 million
                GO SAMSUNG GO SAMSUNG.............

                    That figure seems to be fake. 9 million preorders for a phone costing 800+ euros? Even the iPhone, the best-selling smartphone series in the world, didn't get that vast amount of preorders. This is just bogus.

                      if the figures are fake or not is not important. there is such a samsung hype at the moment that the sgs3 sales will reach new records for samsung. they are going to push the phone to make that sure. i believe that they are going to sell around 20 mio units until xmas 2012. 20 mio in in 6 months.

                        this is a very expected from the galaxy s3 and i think the sales will reach double the sales of the s2 especially if apple fails to release something new in its next iphone.
                        as we all know htc ,sony,nokia and the other companies had released or just announced their 2012 phones and all of them failed to compete with the galaxy s3 specifications ,may be only in design which will make the s3 not a favorite phone for the girls.

                            Don't quite see how people are complaining about the specs for this phone; "S2 with 2 processors"? Its still much better than any phone on the market currently, clearly outperforms the One X in benchmarks and looks about 10,000 times better too. Doubt the new iphone (whenever its released) will be able to have much on this phone. Hopefully I can get hold of an S3 and they don't all sell out!

                                  99% not believe in this figures or the news.....because, by seeing these massive figures people think that galaxy s3 is a hit....and this will surely promote the sales, this may be a trick play done by GSMarena or Samsung themselves. because in the time of galaxy s2 there were no serious contenders for galaxy s2 as specwise. now the case is different, HtC one x, htc one s, LG 4x, I phone 4s etc and a lot of upcoming devices too. I tell you what, the people are not narrow minded to stick with or get stuck with any of the phones or manufactures, especially with ugly bad design. they will surely go for the other beautiful and suitable choices, there are many cellphone beast waiting for them, in this situation the people will not go for uninspiring designs, they need devices that worth their money..so stop make us kidding....and don't mind whatever the pre order figures is.. it's only joking.

And by the time that Krait 4, 5, or 6/adreno 999 comes out, Samsung will release Galaxy Note 2 and other handsets which, again, will be even more better than the competition by then.

GSM Arena took a picture of a picture. Did you even read the disclaimer on the photo compare tool?

                                        Why not compare the "Registered Trademark" symbol of the GSM Arena Logo and see what phone took a better picture. Scale both pictures to 12MP.
