Samsung's GT-i9300 is probably not the Galaxy S III, as revealed by its low-res screen
Straight from the Dana Scully school of debunking, Android Community has poured cold water on the notion that the GT-i9300 is the quasi-mythical Galaxy S III. Having happened upon the user agent profile of the device bearing that codename, the stats reveal a lackluster 1024 x 600 resolution display that's easily beaten by the Galaxies Nexus and Note. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled at Mobile World Congress and hope that Samsung isn't planning to ruin the pedigree of the handsets that have previously born that code: the i9200 i9100 was the Galaxy S II and the i9250 was the Galaxy Nexus, after all.
Samsung GT-i9200 camera samples turn up online, possible Galaxy S successor?
With the Nexus S almost certainly called the GT-i9020 and the original Galaxy S falling in the GT-i9000 series, you might be wondering where the GT-i9200 fits into the puzzle. We won't really know until Samsung lifts the curtain -- possibly at CES or MWC next year -- but in light of the fact that we've got this Stealth V beast in the pipe and Eldar Murtazin is blabbing about a supposedly awesome GT-i9100, odds are good that the i9200 represents a higher-end Android device that succeeds the Galaxy S in one way or another. To that end, it's with great interest that we're seeing test shots taken with the i9200's camera -- seemingly in Korea -- posted up on Picasa, which would make sense considering Android's relatively tight Picasa integration. Unfortunately, none of the shots seem to be uploaded at the camera's native resolution so we can't eke out much of a spec sheet here, but it's just one more sliver of evidence that early 2011 is going to be another barn-burner for the Android camp.
