***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

I would just like to stop by and say Hi to all the cagey One X owners













test mule, obviously.

 

[TaKeN]

Want.

 

[grudas]

duh thats a test dummy in 99% sure look parts are not even aligned correctly - by the camera its as dummy as it gets tbh.

S3 revealed?

ugly as ****

For folk who don't speak that dialect of Vietnamese he's talking about a Samsung phone and occasionally mentions the words Nexus and samoled, hope that's been a help.

microSD card slot

Looks like the back of a GS1 to me

Well fingers crossed that it will be this with a nice ceramic shell.

microSD slot and no physical home button, hopefully this also means that Samsung have cut back on the ICS butchering they did with the S2's TouchWiz.

 

[Aedus]

this may be a test design, so the actual look of the phone would change.

I'm hoping for this. There is also some talk that this isnt the galaxy s3 but a phone equivilent to the htc one s, probably completely wrong.

Easiest way is to ask Intra, he would know

A tweaked version of the above photo showing quite how 'engineering sample' this version is.

So you lose some of the screen with this because the softkeys are part of the screen? great

may not be - the final design is mean to have hard buttons.

 

[Cosimo]

I must be the only one who isn't excited, yet.

I hope so, that would be toss.

 

[RobP]

I disagree. buttons on screen or off as soft / hard keys means you still have the same amount of space for the screen, but if the keys are part of the screen they can disappear if an App wants the whole screen. OK, in reality most apps appear to leave the buttons there, mostly reducing them to dots but either way you haven't lost screen space, you got a bit extra screen for the buttons. And if you want to hold your phone upside down...

You can also rotate the icons if in landscape and it allows for a reconfiguration of the keys in the future.

I also think the design looks cleaner without a physical button on the front, or a menu and back icon permanently on display.

 

[JAMAL]

OK, in reality most apps appear to leave the buttons there

Exactly my point though!

 

[sarge78]

Hmm, that 4.6" mule sample is virtually identical to the 4" one. Both have the i9300 model number...

Maybe the Exynos 4212/WSVGA variant was just to throw people off? God I hope not, Samsung's name would be dirt to me, dirt I tells ya!!

 

[Locke]

Quite obvious that it isn't the final design...

Looks like S-Cloud will arrive at the same time:
