Call it a cheap attempt to bank on the Samsung Galaxy S III buzz and get some free press ahead of a rumored May announcement, but local seller Kimstore has a pre-order poster for the Samsung Galaxy i9300 (aka the Galaxy S III), according to Yugatech. Interestingly, it even has a specs page on Facebook calling for a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen with a native 720p HD resolution, 3G/4G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth3.0 networking and a 12-megapixel camera on the back capable of shooting 1080p clips at 30 frames per second and snapping images up to 4,000-by-3, 000 pixels.
PocketNow recently claimed Samsung’s new Exynos 4412 chip that sports four Cortex-A9 processing cores will power the phone with each clocked at 1.5GHz. Boasting a 50 percent faster graphics performance compared to its predecessor, the Exynos 4412 is a new piece of silicon manufactured on Samsung’s 32-nanometer fabbing technology. The closest competitor to the Exynos 4412 is a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core chip that should debut in the HTC Zeta smartphone.

so this one has fake written all over it… while bluetooth 3.0 could possibly still be an option (although i'd say an all new chipset would incorporate the 4.0 standard) i can hardly see Sammy releasing the GS3 on Gingerbread…
Plus, the image clearly has a ICS notification bar
