We saw some leaked shots of the Samsung Galaxy S III earlier in the week, but now the Vietnamese site Tinhte has apparently got its hands on the new flagship phone and has a video to prove it, complete with a specs run down.
Unless you speak Vietnamese, the commentary to the video might not make much sense, but you can still look at the pretty pictures. Apparently the Galaxy S III will come packing a gorgeous looking 4.6-inch screen with a 720×1184 resolution, which works out at around 320DPI, so it’ll be super crisp. A quad-core 1.4GHz chip seems to be humming inside, while 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage should mean Ice Cream Sandwich is happy.
It’ll also apparently have a microSD slot; an 8-megapixel camera, and a 2,050mAh battery with NFC, to power you through the day. According to Tinhte the phone they got was covered in a dodgy-looking plastic surround to disguise it, so it won’t look exactly like that when released; at least they’ll be something to be surprised by at the launch next month.
While this could be utter claptrap, the video and previous rumours combine to make this look at least vaguely credible, and Tinhte has got some things spot-on in the past. Check out the video above, which Engadget kindly grabbed before it went private, and let us know what you think – utter rubbish, or are we looking at a disguised Galaxy S III right there?

Is This the Samsung Galaxy S III and Did Samsung Really Leak It at CES?
Is This the Samsung Galaxy S III?
Latest Galaxy S III Leaks Shows... The Galaxy Nexus
Did I see dual sim in there? That would be interesting.
I was referring to this pic from Giz US

Never mind, looking at it a bit longer it seems like it’s the micro sd slot.
Well it’s interesting that it has a Micro sd slot. Considering the Galaxy Nexus doesn’t.
But not really surprising considering the SGSI and SGSII did have a micro sd slot.
Are you planning to switch again when SGSIII comes?
Nope, not unless it really blows away the Nexus, which it doesn’t look like it does IMHO. While I may be considering getting a new phone around Xmas I’m not at the new phone every 6 months stage (yet)
Quad core CPU? Granted I am not sure how it will actually affect the performance, but the Galaxy Nexus is a tat over-priced for its specs.
I hope you meant “a tad overpriced”, if you call my phone tat I’ll have to change your name to sleepswiththe.fishes.
Contract is due 26/04. Do I resist and wait for Samsung S3, or stick with HTC who I’ve been with since the G1 and the Desire HD. Hmmm!
Surely you could wait a week to see what it really is like. At least then you really compare it to the HTC newbies.
or wait longer, because every few weeks new android phone coming out:)
Spec on this phone looks to be good as does the screen, but the design leaves a lot to be desired for. The build quality looks a typical flimsy plastic style from Samsung once again…
