There is a Samsung smartphone out there bearing the model
name SGH-T999, and we now think we know what device we are actually dealing
with. At first it was presumed that the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G was behind
that model name, and later the yet-non-existent Samsung Galaxy Nexus for
T-Mobile, but neither of this two speculations was on the right track. In fact,
it is now believed that the Samsung SGH-T999 is actually a Samsung Galaxy S III
model for T-Mobile.
Here is why: there is a Samsung Galaxy S III hands-on video
online taking a quick look at the AllShare feature that comes with the device,
along with some other gimmicks from Samsung. Interestingly, among the devices listed
in the application are three Galaxy S III units, as indicated by the SGH-i9300
model name, and the aforementioned SGH-T999, which might very well be a Galaxy
S III variant for T-Mobile, if our intuition is not mistaken. Either way, the
device given that model name is surely bound for T-Mobile, as indicated by the
"T" in front of the three digits.
That the Samsung Galaxy S III is coming to the U.S. in June
is a given fact, although no U.S. carrier has yet announced plans to offer the
smartphone. While the Samsung Galaxy S was available through all four major
U.S. carriers, a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II was present on the shelves
on only three of them, since Verizon preferred to launch the Samsung Galaxy
Nexus instead.
The hands-on video in question is embedded below, and the
evidence is present right after the 5:53 mark, so feel free to check it out for
yourself. Does a potential Samsung Galaxy S III launch on T-Mobile get you
excited?
