First photo from the Samsung Galaxy S III shows up, potted plants never looked so good

We brought you word of the inevitable Samsung Galaxy S III (though we dispute some of the specs, as you’ll see in an upcoming post), but now there is the first photo evidence of the device. No, not a screenshot of the hardware, but of a potted plant in a Korean office from behind the hardware.

Purportedly taken with a Samsung GT-I9500, the next step above the Galaxy S II I9100 and Galaxy Nexus I9250, the 5MP photo is likely compressed and not indicative of the true size of the sensor which, according to rumours, could be as high as 12MP (but is most likely 8MP).

In terms of aperture size, the sensor looks to be f/2.65 with a 4mm focal length, standard for camera phones of this size. The photo was apparently taken in Suwon, South Korean, home to a large Samsung factory.
