Design and Display

The S2 model had a 4.3-inch screen. The S3 is believed to have a bigger one at 4.6 inches. This gives the latter a screen resolution of 1280 x 720. Samsung also accidentally leaked that the anticipated phone will feature a new flexible glass, a product of FOLED technology.

Overall, the Galaxy S 3 model will have a relatively similar design and look with its predecessor. However, there are rumors that the home button has been changed and replaced with a Samsung logo. It was also slimmed down to make way for the bigger screen.

Camera

The awaited Galaxy phone is believed to have a 12 megapixel rear camera, a big upgrade from the 8 megapixels of the Galaxy S 2 model. It will also have a bigger sensor than all the other smartphones in the market today, including Apple’s iPhone 4s.
