Booyah! It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S3, hands down the most highly anticipated Android device of all time, has FINALLY been caught on video in Vietnam just weeks before its official release3 next month. The phone and its Super AMOLED HD 4.6 inch 1280 x 720 resolution landed over the Tinhte, the notorious (and very reliable) arch leakster site, but it seems the image and video have been taken down. Fortunately, Engadget was able to get their hands on it before it was yanked! (Nicely done Engadget!)
The phone arrived there with the name Samsung GT-I9300, sporting an 8MP camera with LED flash, a 2050 mAh battery, and NFC support (very similiar to the Galaxy Nexus).
Design wise, it's being tipped that it will change before launch, as Samsung is still reportedly using a disguise to keep it as secret as possible. Hardware wise, we're looking at a 1.4GHz quad core processor with 1 gig of memory and 16 gigs internal memory. There's also a micoSD slot (SCORE).
Here's another screenshot of the device, and a video below. What do you guys think? Were you expecting more, or are you pretty satisfied?
P.S - To anyone not liking the looks of the device, remember that it's likely to change again before launch (we could be looking at the actual "disguise box" that Samsung sends it in!).
UPDATE 2: Here's a link to the same video with English subtitles. We will leave up the other vid in case YouTube removes the new one with subs.

Its hard to tell, cause its in a disguise man! Thats the box that Samsung sends the phone out to to prevent leaks. The real phone is actually hidden!
lookwise dnt go much impressive....:-(
Nah...thats the boxed disguise...Im 99% sure of that. You can see a frame around the device if you look really closely at the screenshot.
Better hope that's not how to phone will look like. Dislike the design~
Yeah..thats odd. So glad on the my rooted GNEX that I can change where I want them :-D
Interesting that they changed the back and the tasks / apps buttons around.
I agree! But if you look at the screenshot closely, you can see a frame around the phone. It really looks as if it IS wrapped in the disguise. But as for the phone itself, it seems its the real deal!
At least the specs are more or less what we heard from the rumours, so no disappointment there! And a micro SD slot, SCORE indeed! Lets just hope this IS a disguise, because I'm not crazy about the looks of it.
