The image below shows a concept of the Samsung Galaxy S III, created by admost.photo.lab, Ukraine and sent to us by Yuriy Povkhanych. This design looks very much like the Galaxy S II, with the dotted surface at the back of the device and the curved lower side.
The screen seems a bit bigger, so we might be dealing with a 4.5 inch display, that adopts the edge to edge technology if I’m not mistaking. This model runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and it’s as thin as its predecessor, plus it features the same 8 megapixel camera. So what are we dealing with here?
Well, the screen is bigger and wider and the Android version is evolved… other than that this is the same handset. I also expect a quad core CPU to be inside, Nvidia’s Kal-El maybe.

A few months ago I may have been more impressed with this design. But after owning the Samsung Infuse, I can tell you that if they put the lock and volume switches where they are on the Infuse, people will be come very disenchanted very quickly. Every time I try to lock my device, holding it on its sides, I inadvertently touch the screen and launch a program. Its very frustrating. How, if this design becomes reality, with the screen going full width, this will be even a bigger problem. Nice design, but just not practical. Someimes I wonder about these designers if they really think things through.

Sorry for the fat-fingered comment.
Errata:
“How, if this design” should be “Now, if this design”
“Someimes” should be “Sometimes”

It’s really not that hard. Just “deaden” the touch response to the outer 5mm or whatever part of the screen. The extra space is needed for viewing, not touch.

It looks like they used an image of the SGSII and just pasted the white android/ICS image over the front of the phone, but enough so that it covers that middle button
