Android: Samsung Galaxy S3 screen size for layout

Is anyone out there testing on a Samsung Galaxy S3 yet? Specifically, does it have what is considered a large or normal screen for layout purposes? I have the Galaxy Nexus and it takes normal layouts, but I read the Galaxy Note is considered a large screen. Thanks in advance.

As owner of Samsung Galaxy S3 I confirm - it is "normal" screen, not "large" one. Also "xhdpi" when it comes to density.

Samsung S3 takes images from drawable-sw360dp and layout files from layout-sw360dp folder only...

Here's a link to the complete specifications for the European version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. The screen is 720 x 1280 pixels and 4.8 in. diagonal. The American version is the same as far as the screen goes.

all phones will use the drawable folder by default if no others are specified, but officially you should use xhdpi and hdpi for these
