The storage remains the same at 16 GB, and the next-gen screen will display in HD. Meanwhile, the screen size itself remains the same, at 4.65".

New Galaxy Nexus vs. Galaxy S III

The Galaxy S III still trumps the Galaxy Nexus with a 4.8 Super Amoled HD screen, as opposed to a 4.65" Super Amoled HD screen.

The Galaxy S III operates with a 1.4 quad-core A9 processor, as opposed to the next-gen Nexus' 1.5 dual-core A9.

Aside from offering 16, 32, and 64 GB storage options, as opposed to the Nexus' 16 GB, both front and back camera quality and SD Card functionality are identical between the next-gen Nexus and the Galaxy S3.
