An anonymous user over at 4chan is reporting some hands on time with 3 unicorns of the Android world the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Nexus Prime (or as he calls it the Galaxy Nexus) & he also describes Ice-Cream Sandwich. Now before we proceed, if you`re not aware, 4Chan is behind some of the most successful trolling ever perpetrated on the internet. More Info after the break.

Nexus Prime/Galaxy Prime :

    • This Nexus will be exclusive to Verizon (as we have already seen, there are 2 models linked as Nexus Phones the SCH-i515 for Verizon and the GT-i9250 for everyone else, I think this one is busted)
    • The phone looks similar to the Sprint variant of the Galaxy S II, with a round-edged body, but also similar to the Nexus S with a curved screen
    • Samsung’s Exynos dual core CPU clocked at 1.5GHz (TI OMAP4 has previously been confirmed as the processor of choice for ICS)
    • 1gb RAM
    • Super AMOLED Plus 4.65 inch 1280×720 HD display
    • 16gb internal memory
    • SD card slot (I’m assuming he means MicroSD)
    • 8.8mm thick
    • Metal body
    • 2000mAh battery (the same as the new one that’s being released for the Galaxy S II that Buzz reported on).
    • Weighing in at around 130g-140g because of the metal casing

 

Ice-Cream Sandwich :

    • Android version was 2.4.1, not 4.0 (Probably explained by the fact that ICS is still not complete)
    • It works like the current Gingerbread OS but has received a major facelift
    • The menus are a lot nicer and smoother
    • Screens have a ‘glassy’ look to them
    • The app drawer has three sections at the top that you press and it goes to the drawer for your selection
    • Best of all with the drawers is that you can create and name your own app drawer if you want
    • Updated GMail & Calendar Apps as well as new Calendar widget
    • Updated Browser with tabbed browsing

 

Samsung Galaxy S III :

    • Will be revealed at the 2012 Mobile World Congress
    • Samsung-developed 2.0GHz quad-core CPU (no codename given)
    • 1.5gb RAM
    • 32Gb Onboard Storage (with sd card slot) – (Again I’m assuming MicroSD card)
    • 4.65 inch Super AMOLED III screen with 1280×1024 resolution with a ppi of 352
    • 9mm thick, has a metal and glass body
    • 2250mAh battery
    • 10 megapixel camera and is capable of shooting 1080p video at 60 frames per second
    • NFC Onboard
    • Ice-Cream Sandwich with Touchwiz 5 overlaid

 

So that’s what the rumours from the post are. Now, some of the Nexus Prime rumours match up with existing rumours and some don’t, so basically we are back where we started, waiting for announcements. The specs for the SGS III (if true) are insane but mouth-wateringly good.

Personal opinion? I’m not convinced. Let us know in the comments what you think.
