Could this leaked image be the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus?

The Samsung marketing team must either be rubbing its hands in collective glee, or worrying that someone will be fired soon for a leaked press image of what could possibly be the rumored Samsung Galaxy S II Plus.
As reported earlier, the news that the Samsung Galaxy S III will not be making an appearance at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona meant that Samsung would not have a new flagship device to wow the attendees with.
Hope, however, has arrived in the unlikely form of Eldar Murtazin, who's known for leaking product information before the news breaks. He's more often right than wrong, but the press image leaked seems legit.
The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus looks like it will be running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), but with Samsung's TouchWiz UI running over it. Thankfully it seems Samsung is retaining some of the design elements of ICS instead of performing a wholesale skinning job like the company is doing for its S II update.
The Galaxy S II Plus is rumored to have a new 1.5GHz processor based on a new Exynos 4212 chipset with low power draw and faster 3D performance. It also seems that the handset will pack a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED Plus display but with a low WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution. If true, that will be quite disappointing for an otherwise impressive looking smartphone.
