Vietnamese website Tinhte has posted images and video of a new device, the Samsung GT-i9300, which could be a engineering sample of the next Galaxy S device set for reveal on May 3rd. Unlike the previous leak, which featured grainy photos taken on an iPad, Tinhte has a full video and gallery of the device. As we exclusively revealed, Samsung is using dummy cases to conceal the final shape of the device, but this leak gives us a clearer view than ever of what form the next-generation device will take. We've adjusted the levels of the image above to clearly expose the shell of the phone.

Okay guys, here's the deal on the rumored specs:
- Quad-core Exynos processor, presumably the 4412
- Mali-400MP GPU with increased clock speed
- 720p Super AMOLED display (no idea if PenTile or RGB)
- 2080 mAh removable battery with NFC
Take note that this is not the final design, as the phone is enclosed in a different plastic shell to hide the real device. This is to allow for QC testing in public, without fear of leaking the final design before the big reveal on May 3. And there are also rumors that this is not the S III for various reasons:
- The device model number I9300 is said to be the Galaxy M, or a midrange variant of the Galaxy S
- According to Slashgear, the prototype dates back to December 2011; there might have been many changes under the hood already (see Source)
Any thoughts on this? Will you buy the GS III if this were the real deal?
