Samsung GALAXY S III Caught on Camera

Shortly after Samsung indirectly revealed that it will announce its next-generation Galaxy S III smartphone on May 3, new photos of the alleged device have leaked online.

It looks like the folks over at Gizmodo Brazil were able score some photos of the Galaxy S III. Although the pictures seems to have been taken with some kind of tablet (iPad?) the device shown looks similar to the one that was spotted a several days ago via GSM Helpdesk Netherlands.

In addition, these photos confirm the recent statements coming from sources close to the matter saying that the Galaxy S III would be an “incremental update” rather than a revolutionary device in terms of design.

According to Gizomod Brazil's trusted source, Samsung Galaxy S III is thinner than the Galaxy S II, but heavier due to its ceramic case possibly. On the back, the smartphone packs a 12-megapixel camera with LED flash.

On the other hand, the serial number (Samsung GT-I9300) that has been blurred in the picture is in line with a certain Samsung Galaxy M device that has yet to be announced by the South Korean company.

Even though the person that took these pictures insists that this is indeed the long awaited Samsung Galaxy S III, we can't really tell for certain.

Specs-wise, we already know a little bit about Galaxy S III's hardware configuration, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

There's a high chance that the smarpthone will come with a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD Plus (1280 x 720 pixels) capacitive touchscreen display, as well as a quad-core processor.

Rumor has it that Galaxy S III will be equipped with Samsung's Exynos 4412 SoC, which packs four Cortex A9 CPUs clocked at 1.5 GHz.

Samsung Galaxy S III will be the official device of the 2012 Summer Olympics. Two versions will be launched on the market, a 16GB model and a 32GB variant. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
