The Verge has just received alleged pictures of T-Mobile USA's branded Samsung Galaxy S III that's expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The strangest thing about the leaked phone is what isn't different about it — it appears to be virtually identical to the model being offered internationally, a stark contrast from years past where Samsung has typically bowed to American carrier pressures for customization (a common change on the North American Galaxy S and S II variants, for instance, was the replacement of the physical home button with a full row of four capacitive buttons). What's more, it seems that white and slate blue will again be the color choices here; it's not to say that other (larger) American carriers will follow suit, but it's a notable trend and a hint that Samsung might be starting to wield its enormous power as the largest Android OEM in the market.
