Are These the First Photos of the Samsung Galaxy SIII?

Our beloved Portuguese-speaking brethren at Gizmodo Brazil scored exclusive photos of what could be the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is due for a formal launch on May 3. If this is it, it does seems to be an incremental update rather than a major overhaul.

The alleged-S III is thinner, yet heavier, with a 12 MP camera. Here's a look at its back side:



Quite frankly, the photos leave something to be desired. (Taken with an iPad? For real?) And according to Gizmodo Brazil the serial number (Samsung GT-I9300) matches up with what GSMArena said would be the Galaxy M. Having said that, their source is quite confident that this is the S III, and it does look pretty similar to the press shot that GSM Helpdesk Netherlands scored last month.

But what do you think. Is this it? [Gizmodo Brazil]

Not what i was hoping for, but if the specs are what they are said to be, probably still an instacop for me

That 12MP will be sick. Might have to cop off-contract if it comes to Verizon.

can't really tell in those pics. I just hope the specs are true.

that !! looks !!ing out dated.

No hate I was kinda expecting something different but still highly interested in jumping ship for this bish

The Verge has learned from a source familiar with Samsung's plans that the latest images claiming to be of the long-rumored Galaxy S III — first posted by Gizmodo Brasil — are not correct. They are on the right track, though: Samsung is using what are described as "generic test boxes" to put the next Galaxy model's internals through quality checks, presumably to allow employees to use the phones off of company premises without being spotted. We're being told that Gizmodo's images are of one of those dummy boxes. "That's not even close to the final design," we're told. "No leaks of the final design have been accurate."

Our source tells us that security surrounding the preparation and launch of the Galaxy S III is tighter than it has ever been for any product in the company's history. Indeed, the sheer number of supposed leaks over the past few months — many of which have proven to be completely bogus — speaks volumes about the buzz surrounding this handset, and Samsung is clearly looking to capitalize on the hype in every way that it can. Security is so tight, in fact, that our source can't even confirm the Galaxy S III name: Samsung is only using the phrase "next Galaxy" on its invites for the May 3rd event in London, so there aren't any official hints apart from the obvious one that the Galaxy brand will continue.

now styles of phones look outdated?

son yall phone people can never be happy. y'all need a main squeeze something light.

It is the GS3 it's just not the actual GS3 design we probably won't see that until they actually unveil it on May 3

hopefully that ain't it... but [pic] they couldn't even clean the damn screen?

The SII is a great phone. Most likely can not go wrong with the SIII. Specs should be pretty good.

Prob a prototype it'll come down to the Presser for me I'm set to cop the evo lte but if the gs3 specs turns out to be real I may be willing to wait for it....I been real chill on getting a new phone since I rooted my evo makes the wait easier now

to much side bezel..that can't be it..
but that center button is sick..

i need a qwerty keyboard built in to my phone..besides the droid 4 are there any other smart phones out there or on the horizon that have one?

[pic][pic][pic][pic] IM COPPING. Cant Wait!!!
