There have been some images in the past claiming to be of Galaxy S III but this image is apparently the closest one we’ll get to Samsung’s Galaxy device. The image purportedly belongs to Weber Shandwick who handles Samsung’s PR duties in many regions. As for the device, it seems to have adopted a new bezel design akin to the recent Samsung tablets like Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1. We can also see a dedicated camera button that is missing from the Samsung’s Galaxy S devices.
The image’s veracity is obviously unconfirmed but Eldar Murtazin claims the image is a fake but is “closest to the final design.”
Awesome!
awesomeness
Few things to note here:
First, Weber Shandwick is a reputed PR firm. They have worked for Samsung in past (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_Shandwick). From what I read, they represent Samsung in Germany.
The date — 22nd May is around the same time when the torch relay will be held. I think it starts on May 20. Samsung is the major sponsor for this Olympics. Perfect time for Samsung to gain attention of the world!

The photo looks like to have been taken from a screen/monitor. It shows those usual jaded lines.

There is some area in top-right where the “photo” seems to show black background. It’s as if whoever took the photo covered more area and then deleted rest of the photo. This shows (http://i.imgur.com/6QpN4.jpg) dual speakers. If it’s fake, somebody went through a lot of pain to actually do this.
Normally all fakes are made too elegantly or just too good to be true. This on other hand looks “different”.

I was hoping there would be a Galaxy Note ‘pen’ slot on this phone, but I think this phone would be too thin, maybe as an accessory.
I hope it will have the same size battery or bigger than the razor maxx.
