My Galaxy S3 is plugged in.. Just be aware that the only reliable information lsusb gets from the device is the manufacturer/device id (04e8:6860 in your case). It then looks up what that device is in a database on your computer. If the database is out of date (hint: sudo update-usbids), then the human-readable description will be wrong. Basically, it's possible that the S2, the Tab 10.1 and the S3 all share the same device id.
