Apparent image of GT-I9300 leaked

We have talked about Samsung’s upcoming GT-I9300 few times before but this is the first time we’re seeing it in the flesh. Phone Arena managed to get hold of an image of the phone and confirm some of the details leaked before.

As evident from the image, the phone runs Android’s latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS and as hinted by a GLBenchmark result, the phone does have software menu buttons just like the Galaxy Nexus.

Additionally, the phone is pre-loaded with some Samsung apps like Hubs as well as S Suggest app recommendation engine. The phone also has an S Memo app suggesting the phone could have an S Pen input support.

So is it the Galaxy S III as rumored before? We’re not sure. But this device seems more of a Galaxy S II-like device with S Pen support. What do you think?
