The Samsung Galaxy S2 has been one of the most successful Android handsets ever to be released. Samsung managed to sell over 50,000 units of the device every day when the handset launched. It also managed to pick up a phone of the year award beating off tough competition from the iPhone 4.
So how can Samsung raise the bar with the Galaxy S3? In October the first Samsung Galaxy S3 details leaked including a dual core 1.8GHz CPU with 2GB of RAM.
Now we might have just caught a glimpse of the Galaxy S3 for the first time in one of Samsungs promotional videos that was in use at CES. Samsung used the video throughout their press conference which shows an unknown mobile device.
You can see the unidentified device in the image above, and there are some rather noticeable differences between this and the Galaxy S2. The first thing that jumps out is how narrow the bezel is around the edge of the screen. It is not far from been completely surface to surface which is supported by rumours that Samsung have developed an all new Super AMOLED display specifically for the Galaxy S3.
Now this doesn’t mean that the unknown handset is even a real product. It could be just a mock model purely used for promotional purposes when filming the video. Although you have to ask yourself why they would build a working prototype for something that is only featured in the video for a couple of seconds. The only thing that does look a little bit off is how the corners of the screen are slightly rounded which is something you don’t usually see. This could suggest that a dummy model was used and the screen you use was pasted over the top in post production.
Here is the video from the Samsung CES 2012 conference that the screenshot above was taken from, take a look for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments below.
