Samsung’s Galaxy S III smartphone is expected to arrive on shelves with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, the latest rumors around the web suggest.

The handset has been also rumored to pack a 12MP camera on the back, but what appears to be a leaked test photo taken with it shows that it will actually pack a lower-quality camera.

The said photo, taken with a smartphone that features model number GT-I9300, was spotted on Picasa, a recent post on AllAboutSamsung notes.

The resolution of the said image is 3264 × 2448, which might suggest an 8.1 megapixel camera.

Since the image might have been snapped with the resolution set lower than maximum, it is still uncertain whether the upcoming flagship device from Samsung will arrive on shelves with an 8MP or a 12MP camera on the back. Hopefully, it will be the latter.
