Internal Document Leaks Samsung Galaxy S III With 1.8GHz CPU, 12MP Camera, 2GB RAM [Report]

The question many people were asking before Apple unveiled its fifth-generation iPhone earlier this month was “Can it compete with the Samsung Galaxy S II?” However, the Galaxy S II might not be the new iPhone 4S’ biggest worry, because it looks like a third is on the way.

The screenshot above, obtained by Phandroid, claims to have been taken from an internal Samsung document, passed on by an anonymous tipster. If it is to be believed, Samsung’s third-generation Galaxy S will be launching next year, and just like its predecessor did, it will blow all rival smartphones out of the water.

The Galaxy S III is purported to feature a 1.8GHz dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel camera, and a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display. To put that into perspective, the current Galaxy S device, which is already super quick, boasts a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera, and a 4.3 Super AMOLED display.

That’s a pretty impressive improvement, then, and it makes the third-generation Galaxy S more impressive than some notebooks. According to the image, the device has also been given a redesign to introduce tapered edges and a more rounded design. But can we really expect this from Samsung?

A number of reports are claiming the image is a fake, but either way, do we really need these kinds of specs in a smartphone? I mean, the Galaxy S II is plenty fast enough, and some high-end devices still provide a smooth experience with single-core processors, or 1GHz dual-core processors. And 2GB of RAM in a smartphone? Really?

Sure, it’d be nice to have these things in your pocket, but I don’t think we’ll see them in a smartphone as early as next year. What do you think?

    I’d truly like to know how much this super-phone is going to cost on contract.  With those specs, one might figure it would be at least $299.  It’s a pretty powerful device.  I’m not sure how they’re going to get a lot of battery life if the processor is taxed.  Aside from playing games, I can’t imagine why any average consumer would need a super-phone like that.  Android smartphones are really causing an awful amount of competition among Android vendors and I wonder how long they can keep up the pace and still make any profits at all.  As large a company as Samsung is, it can readily absorb these costs so this G S III could certainly be real.
