Samsung Galaxy S3 design and features in hands-on photos

Fancy ogling the brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 from every angle? Here's your chance you lucky, lucky scallywag. Click through the photos above to examine the year's most exciting Android phone, as well as getting a glimpse of Samsung's new toy alongside heavyweights like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4S.

We've already gone hands-on with the Galaxy S3, so before you do anything else, make sure you cast your eyes over our in-depth preview, which is also crammed full of hands-on video.

Done that? Alright, we're all on the same page. The Galaxy S3 plays host to a stonkingly huge 4.8-inch display, that squeezes in a hearty 1,280x720 pixels. Bubbling away inside there's a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, while stuck to the back there's an 8-megapixel camera.

Ice Cream Sandwich is on board, with Samsung's own TouchWiz interface handling the cosmetic look-and-feel of the phone. Like other Samsung gear, the S3 is very thin and light, measuring just 8.6mm thick and weighing only 133g.

That's thinner and lighter than the much smaller iPhone 4S.

Impressive stuff, then. But Samsung has competition from the likes of HTC's One X and whatever new mobile Apple decides to spawn later this year. Will the S3 be enough to keep it on top of the Android pile?
