Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Specs

What are the rumors about this possibly coming to Verizon?

When would you guess it will be released?

My Girlfriend want's to ditch T-mobile and come to Verizon... But she also want's my Droid X. So I can get the Galaxy Nexus when she signs up and move my DX to her new line, and my NE2 upgrade is in May, so I can give her my GNex and upgrade to a new phone in May. :D:p;)

International version I would guess May, US version 6 months later. :(

Import?

So you have some connections. Any chance Samsung releases this phone by mid 2012 in the states? I know im reaching here. Lol

I may or may not have overheard something along the lines of

"The Note will probably be out before end of Q1 2012. Only person I've seen use one is our CEO. S3 probably mid 2012. S3 is a purely need to know basis and I'm not on that list. Those that are have been sworn to secrecy. Korean mafia may be holding their childred hostage "

Well thanks for the info. My upgrade is on April but I'm holding out till the GS3. I'm hoping by summer time when Sprint LTE rolls out.

the new samsung exynos chips will be arm a15, and not the a5 arm chips that make up the tegra 3. these a15 chips will easily compete with the tegra 3! as apple show year after year, its not a case of adding more cores to something, its optimising it and android is only just getting to fully exploit dual cores let alone quad! i wouldnt get a quadcore device just because its quad core1

I think you are talking about dual core Exynos 5250 based on cortex A15. But according to this rumor, SGSIII seems to be packing quad core Exynos 4412 based on cortex A9. And tegra3 has A9 cores, not A5.

I hope that samsung does what google did and uses a pentaband antenna. I will gladly import this to the US. I have to give it to Samsung, after the fiasco with the first galaxy s i was sure i wouldnt buy another samsung, but the galaxy s2 was a really good device and although im still not a fan of touchwiz or the plastics they use to build the phone, I could see myself happily buying one of these.

you guys are under estimating samsung....they will be using an intel i7 processor clocked at 6.5 GHz per core with 8 GB RAM with a 5.5 TB HDD and more than likely knowing samsung a 3D screen...poor battery...the little crider won't be able to handle this.

laugh all you want! but you will see I'm right!
