New Samsung Galaxy S3 photo leaked,shows both physical and capacitive buttons

After seeing some render images and prototypes in the past days from the new Samsung Galaxy S III , now comes the first real image of the phone. As always it is difficult to be certain of the photos that we offer, but this is the first image that actually seems to unite all the pieces of the puzzle according to the latest news and pictures of the Service Manual.


While you might be disappointed at aesthetic view of the similarity with the Galaxy nexus, on the other we see a frame of metal and probably an extra-large screen that still seems unable to exploit fully the front space despite the external physical buttons .


The bevels on the corners and generally look nice and we can not exclude that Samsung has managed to contain more than the thickness of the Galaxy Nexus from which, indeed, takes up the shape.

A new prototype of the Galaxy S3 shows the virtual keys and the new TouchWiz

Disseminated through a Chinese forum called Mobile01 today had emerged new photos and details of a prototype of Samsung GT-I9300 , images that reveal the presence of clear and unmistakable soft keys. Besides them we can also see a new physical center button and the new TouchWiz integrated in Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung Galaxy S III, 5-line interface and the physical Home button?

While many hope that the new top range Samsung smartphone may have the buttons integrated into the screen as the Galaxy nexus.In other hand Samsung has always been very conservative in his choices. The back button is always positioned opposite to the competition and virtually all Galaxy smartphones have a physical center button. According  to ddaily the  next Galaxy S3 will keep the physically  middle button,a choice that seems to have been debated at length and that might look like the image posted above.

A conservative choice and certainly not everyone might like it, although a physical key is often very useful to activate the screen from standby. In addition to this the new Touch Wiz has been confirmed, always from the same source, and should have 5 buttons in the toolbar of the home as the Galaxy notes with a stronger resolution. It will also be revisited and updated over the current version found on the S2 and N7000.

Samsung continues to keep the secret of this device and when it is difficult to speculate on the concrete appearance, shapes, sizes and specifications.

Samsung Galaxy S3 already in production with 4.65-inch SuperAMOLED Plus HD display?

We return to talk about the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S3 after a few days off.Korea put out new speculation on the display characteristics already discussed in several previous articles.  According to various Korean sources will strengthen and multiply the rumors that the diagonal of the new flagship device from Samsung is just 4.65 inches Matrix Super AMOLED Plus HD with a resolution so of 1280 x 720.

Samsung GT-i9300 photo leaks,is this the new Galaxy S III?

If until now we have seen render images implausible speculations interesting concept and the new, hypothetical, S3 Galaxy , now comes the first live pictures of the successor to the Galaxy S2. Although, as always, is not absolute certainty, we can still say that this is a prototype very interesting and it reflects very closely the features of the new top range Samsung.

The reasons?

• Integrated buttons on the screen (some)
• Back button on the right (like all Samsung)
• To render similar aesthetic seen in the past but with physical key (we had always said that we looked like)
• Touch Wiz lighter-level menu customization

These are the main reasons they see in this picture a very realistic prototype of the successor to the Galaxy S2. As always the pictures "stolen" does not do justice to aesthetics, and though we will soon see new photos arrive.

New Image of Galaxy S III leaked

If the picture yesterday of the new Galaxy S3 has been around the world and it seemed the most realistic shows to date, it must be said that nothing can confirm that this really is an official photo. The article and the comments we have stressed several times how that image might not fully reflect the features of the new device. Now comes yet another picture that seems to change the cards on the boards. In reality, the image we see in the opening article, while interesting, seems less credible than the previous year and in the absence of the bar of notification and the lack of clarity, not be excluded that it is a work of photoshop-based perhaps on a render or Galaxy Note.

The photo appeared on reddit and as always is offered with technical information and more or less reliable. According to the source, S3 would be able to select the touch wiz or customizing Android to clean. Option certainly interesting but it does not seem very realistic.Samsung has always differentiated its products with launcher, programs and icons of various kinds and a net shift in our view it is very difficult.

So this new image we do not consider particularly reliable, or still less than the previous year, while waiting to get new information, perhaps officers.
