With only a day until the big “Galaxy moment” where Samsung plans to unveil its next-generation Android smartphone, we continue to be teased with new alleged photos of the mysterious device.

Although rumor has it that Samsung will announce more than one device at the launch event, which is set to take place tomorrow, the highlight is surely the long-awaited Galaxy S III device.

The new pictures published by the guys over at SamMobile confirm that the smartphone will run the latest Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and that the phone’s codename is indeed Samsung GT-I9300.

According to SamMobile, along with the images of the alleged Galaxy S III, also came several details on the phone’s specs sheet.

Unlike other dummy units that were pictured in the wild in the past couple of weeks, this one is said to boast a 12-megapixel rear camera. There’s also a notification LED that is pretty obvious in the picture as well.

The source of these shots claim that the device, which might as well be another dummy unit, is thinner that the Samsung Galaxy S II, which also comes in line with previous rumors on the phone’s specs.

Furthermore, the smartphone has been pictured in Brazil, which leads us to believe this is in fact the same device revealed by the folks over at Gizmodo about two weeks ago.

There’s more to it as SamMobile’s anonymous source claims Samsung plans to unveil more than one device tomorrow and mentions a certain GT-I9800. We’ve never heard anything about this device, which might be another variant of the Galaxy S III, or a completely new device.

Given the fact that the GT-I9800 codename is too far apart from the already known GT-I9300 (Galaxy S III), it’s likely that the former is a brand new device. Still, anything is possible, so it won’t come as a surprise if the GT-I9800 is the US variant of the Galaxy S III.
