[Galaxy S III General] SAlmighty:
Revised Possible Specifications Slated for 2012 (Ver. 4.0)

Well, after cross-referencing other sources, it is very well likely for the below specifications to appear on new models this year. Applicable to S3 and Note 2. - Cheers!

Next Month Samsung will be announcing who knows, how many new devices. One of the expected models is the Galaxy S3 and possibly, Note 2.

I can say the S3 will have the following after doing a careful analysis of trends and rumors,

4.5" SAMOLED HD Pentile Display with 3D (also known as Super AMOLED III) with 1280x720 Resolution, Lotus Glass

1.5 GHz Quad Core Processor 32nm (Exynos 4412 with Mali T604)

2gb LPDDR2, DDR2 or DDR3 Ram (Dual Channel)

16 or 12 Megapixel Lens Rear Camera (Samsung Technology)

3.2 Megapixel Front Camera with Face Detection

16gb or 32gb Built in Memory Expandable up to 64GB

Bluetooth 4.0

Built In NFC

Ice Cream Sandwich

2000mAh Battery

HzO Technology--water-proof technology

ETA--Late Spring, 2012

Who wants to bet?! :p

I can say the Note 2 will have the following after doing a careful analysis of trends and rumors,

5.3" SAMOLED HD Pentile Display with 3D (also known as Super AMOLED III) with 1280x800 Resolution, Lotus Glass

1.8 GHz Quad Core Processor 32nm (Exynos 4412 with Mali T604)

2gb LPDDR2, DDR2 or DDR3 Ram

16 or 12 Megapixel Lens Rear Camera (Samsung Technology)

3.2 Megapixel Front Camera with Face Detection

16gb or 32gb Built in Memory Expandable up to 64GB

Bluetooth 4.0 (or possibly 5.0)

USB 3.0

Built In NFC

Ice Cream Sandwich

2750mAh Battery

HzO Technology--water-proof technology

ETA: mid-Summer, 2012

Who wants to bet?! :p

A 4.5" inch screen is more probable. I agree.

Well, a possible release date of Jelly Bean has yet to be confirmed. And if released in August this year, this certainly will not be in the Note 2. Jelly Bean will first arrive in Nexus 4 and it will take developers a few weeks to overlay their UI's on newer models

Touchwiz 5.0 is obvious for new devices coming out with ICS, so no need to include that in the specifications. Existing S2 and and Note will have ICS soon, but with the existing Touchwiz 4.0 interface.

16MP looks promising since sensors were already introduced late last year, Oct. 2011

Battery seems to be appropriate for the S2, since the battery compartment size will be able accommodate larger batteries due to the .2" inch increase in screen size.

3D may or may not appear. What remains suspicious is how Samsung decided to refer their new AMOLED displays as SAMOLED 3. HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW!

HzO is a possibility, but seeing that Samsung has to shell extra money out of their pockets puts this feature into question.

2GB will be able to accommodate more processes to run in the background, and since the CPU will be bumped, 2GB doesn't look like too much.

The Exynos 5250 (A15) that you are referring to may be featured in low-end Tablets or may be mid-range phones / phablets. This we will have to wait and see.

I think a lot of these updates are obvious, so as the clock ticks, we sit down and think. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] sanik90:
quad-core and full touch screen menu button, awesome.....

but from the side view like iPhone 3GS design
[Galaxy S III General] MikeMaMan:
Why you even compare desktop CPU with what 8 Mb of cache and some poor ARM Cpu. They designed for different things.
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Krait, the s4 cpu is a much needed update from the old a8 ish design, it may beat a9s clock for clock, but a15s might beat it, we will have to see.
[Galaxy S III General] jaykresge:
In terms of DMIPS per clock cycle, from top to bottom, they are:

A15 - 3.5

Krait - 3.3

A9 - 2.5

Scorpion - 2.1

A8 - 2.0

So yes, A15 will beat Krait clock for clock, but not to a large degree. Original Snapdragon beat A8 clock for clock by a near similar margin and no one really noticed.
[Galaxy S III General] SAlmighty:
^^^So do you think the S3 should deserve the 'A15' or the 'A9'?
[Galaxy S III General] ptscon:
It would be nice if it was a dual-core Cortex A15 but I don't think they will be able to mass produce them in time.

We are more likely to see a quad-core A9 since that's further ahead in development. It will be fine I'm sure, but a dual-core A15 would be nicer.

Perhaps a different spec SIII later in the year featuring a A15 chip.
[Galaxy S III General] jaykresge:
I've commented on this several times. Please refer to my previous post in this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] SAlmighty:
Off-topic--perhaps an A15 in the Note 2, since it has a massive screen. Or just a beefier A9 as many of us think based on the A8 series.

[Galaxy S III General] themadba:
I will just finish my first year of a two year contract in June 2012 :(.

I don't mind though, as the SGS2 is still one of the most powerful phones out there, these specs are just bragging rights if you ask me.. I mean, who actually needs a 2GHz quad-core processor?!
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
The funny thing is that they said that about dual core
[Galaxy S III General] themadba:
Yeah, that is true. But I believe that a 1.2GHz is more than ample for nearly any type of user, I mean, what the heck can you do that requires that much performance? And 1.5GB of RAM :O
[Galaxy S III General] Tijmen:
Allows for Windows 8 with an external screen and bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
[Galaxy S III General] mad_max911:
I think CPU could be faster then current, it would make a difference in some apps.. But more than 1 GB RAM? How to use even 1 GB? Any tip? Beside running 10 games paused at the same time :-)
[Galaxy S III General] FRLinux:
Next version of ICS? Remember that phones can be kept a while so might not need much RAM for 4.x but might for 5.x
[Galaxy S III General] ozzy lion:
Not sure if it has been mentioned here but its irrelevant if the phone comes with a quad or a dual core. We know quads are around the corner as Tegra 3 is available in tablets now and it will be in phones very soon.

What is interesting is the prospect of using your phone as a desktop replacement.

Samsung should release 24 and 27" monitors with MHL docks. Just slot your GS2/GS3 into the side and all your contacts/emails/bookmarks/games/whatever are there on the big screen with keyboard and mouse waiting for you.

I think they would sell pretty well.
[Galaxy S III General] thenazgullord:
i wonder what would a more powerful phone than the sgs2 be useful for...i dont mean that in the dumb way apple fanboys do whenever their phones are proven inadequate but in these resolutions its hard to push more out of the already great exynos 2core 1.2-1.5
[Galaxy S III General] ptscon:
SII is quick but it doesn't launch things instantly so there's always room for improvement in that department.
[Galaxy S III General] thenazgullord:
yes thats true though judging from custom rom and 3rd party launcher use i think that can be achieved via software more easily. if you ask me what should be majorly upgraded in sgs3 is battery life. and generally in tablets and smartphones i think manufacturers have rested on the idea that smartphones get 2 days of battery life between charges and thats it. hope to see sgs2 run for 3-4 days without charging

[Galaxy S III General] androidkid311:
Why quad core? Seems silly to me. I doubt it will be much faster than my GS2. 12mp probaly will take pics as good as the 8mp one as we know its not about megapixels. Screen will be bigger :(. No GS3 for me so far but these are rumours. So lets wait and see :)

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It'll run more efficiently with a quad, he tweeted battery is better. Now whether he has actually got one is another question but I think he mentioned last year the SGS2 would have a dual core 1.2ghz processor, could be credible not too long now anyways until MWC.

I'd most likely update as I like having new toys to play with but it needs to excel compared to SGS2 and other phones.

People said that about dual core, and if pix don't matter take a picture with your front camera and look at it and look at a 5 pixel and a 15 pixel I see a big difference when people say size doesn't matter you know what that means! Lol
[Galaxy S III General] id10terrordfw:
I didn't do it, I swear!

Also, I don't have those issues either.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
why it only drains the battery, if you really want it download an app from the market.

I don't believe any of this or the videos until Samsung announce it themselves, every other day on XDA there are fake videos,etc galore
[Galaxy S III General] Razer(x):
That's why i'll wait for the next Nexus
[Galaxy S III General] bgstcola:
Your missing the point. More megapixels means higher pixel density means more noise and worse image quality. That is, unless the sensor is improved.
[Galaxy S III General] willybrand:
I think the notification LED is a must, the consumption of the LED wouldnt drain the Battery. BLN is just an ugly workaround :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Rytkonen:
Am i only one not liking the notification lights? I hate them on my Huawei and HTC, always blinking in the darkness when you try to sleep. :D
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:

[Galaxy S III General] jaykresge:
I don't think the phone is going to be delayed, just the announcement. I think that rather than the usual cycle of;

-Feb/Mar (announcement)

-Apr/May (global release)

-Sep/Oct (US release)

We'll see something condensed along the lines of;

-Apr/May (announcement)

-May/Jun (global release)

-Jun/Jul (US release)

I'm being optimistic on the US release, but by offering the US carriers the olive branch of a shorter announcement/release cycle, it may also reduce the US desire to blatantly customize the handset in exchange for getting it faster. But every indication I'm getting from this delayed announcement at this time is that there will simply be a shorter gap between announcement and global release rather than a significant delay to the global release.
[Galaxy S III General] kpeters87:
If jaykresge is right!

I will travel abroad at June. To buy this! OMG!

[Galaxy S III General] Rytkonen:
I'm going to be very upset if the announcement is delayed because of stupid american operators and their bloated versions of the phone. If the launch is delayed then I'll...
[Galaxy S III General] baoma760:
its awesome and amazing!!!
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It's too soon for SGS3 to be released in the States considering how long it took for SGS2 and the carriers wanting to customise it all!

So it could be true that this gets delayed so it'd be a closer global launch I'm sure it won't hurt Samsung that much if they were the last to release a phone, it'll give us users time to see how the competition fares then Samsung can release a killer phone, although I think personally they'd want something to match the iPhone 5 and more likely to wait for that rather than other Android phones. So they can gain some iOS users to their phones.

Would also be interested in what WP7 phones they come out with.
[Galaxy S III General] nightprayer2404:
O

Quad-Core? Hotter and shorter battery life.

PC has fan and electric power line, phone hasn't!
[Galaxy S III General] soraxd:
LOL i like the top pic where they stretch it out to 13 inches.. wish i could do that
[Galaxy S III General] reiji01:
I doubt the battery life will be able to keep up with the processor.

We need better battery technology compression in order to move forward with quad-cores and above. Sad but true =/

I would like to change to an S3 but depending on reviews, I might not.
[Galaxy S III General] Livewings:
I rather they start early so it could be a headstart for Samsung to jump in sales.
[Galaxy S III General] Coentje44:
How'd you get that pic? its the Note2.

Check out gsmarena about the new Soc, as mentioned before the dual core A15, most likely this is what we'll get in the SGS3. Who knows not too long now.

I thought you would find this interesting:

More likely to look like this than anything else :)

Gotta hope though that Sammy swaps the sturdy plastics for lightweight aluminium.

[Galaxy S III General] tuan0saker:
SGSIII

I think the galaxy sIII in the video clip that samsung post at CES 2012 no way is the real SIII. Because it look just like a Galaxy SII with biger screen.
[Galaxy S III General] King Shady:
+1000 The build quality is the only thing that bothers me with my GSII
[Galaxy S III General] dfi2k5:
it can be only a prototype, not the final version.
[Galaxy S III General] tuan0saker:
A urgly product of PHotoshop industry =))

If this phone is real, i think samsung will have problem with apple or at least with apple fan, especially Ipod touch fan =))
[Galaxy S III General] CamoGeko:
Hmm.. I think the build quality is ok, I think they did their best with the plastics as its still pretty sturdy and much more bulletproof then iPhone 4S lol. I just wish the material used was better. These plastics are so Nokia lol

[Galaxy S III General] tjtj4444:
To me this indicates that we will not get 5250 in SGS3 since they states that tablets will get it first and eventually smartphones.

It seems like a lot of people think that SGS3 will be absolutely superior to the competition in every regard when it is launched, I don't think we should expect that.
[Galaxy S III General] Toccatation:
At least one thing bothers me the most is if samsung drops that hardare button which i love alot on my sgs2 right now

it would be really annoying not to have the hw key to wake up the phone hmz
[Galaxy S III General] podface:
lol at the bendy phone.

looks interesting
[Galaxy S III General] ceva:
1st. everything is fake!

2nd. you wasting your time.

3rd. No one will know how it looks like or what specification it will be, till the day when it come out.

4th. ?
[Galaxy S III General] GIR:
All rumours are just that. They are all based off the galaxy nexus with a tad of speculation/wishful thinking.

There are on 3 components which aren't sure and those are.

1. Cpu

2. Memory

3. Nfc

Nobody is taking about nfc but if you noticed all rumours are the same except cpu and memory configurations.

These sites act like they know, write a genetic piece with just enough specifics to make you believe it's true.
[Galaxy S III General] hostilevader:
O.O
[Galaxy S III General] Psykitt:
Hello guys,

I don't know any reason why my phone should have more power.

With a bigger screen and a more powerful cpu the battery will drain faster.

With our GS2 nearly every effort was to reduce the power-consumption.

They managed to lower the voltages in nearly every circuit so it becomes

usuable over 48 hours.

Many users are underclocking the phone to 1GHz or even 800MHz because it is fast enough.

When I play games with permanent touch-controls, the warmth of the screen makes

my fingers dry so that they do not slide anymore.

Even with better architecture a more powerful phone will be no fun!

Samsung should have installed the 12MP camera into the GS2 but they did not

because of the money they will earn with the next generation of this phone.

Greetings Psy
[Galaxy S III General] edufur:
Probably

Huh? This single statement removes credibility from the first two. No one has ever had to wait until release day to find out the specs of ANY phone. No manufacturer or carrier as that good at withholding leaks. We WILL find out about any phone most likely a couple of months prior to release.
[Galaxy S III General] GIR:
The phone will probably have a 4.65 inch screen. The added 0.35 inch is because the hardware buttons are replaced by an onscreen context sensitive menu. The phone won't be any bigger.

The reason why laptop pc's have dual-core is because of the power saving this brings.

What about the iPhone 4s? That was a huge surprise/letdown. Or most blackberry devices.

I remember going through this last year regarding the SGS2, lol. While I felt there was a lot to be desired in the SGS1 (I had the Captivate AT&T version) with the poor GPS lock, the phone felt sluggish and had a need to convert to EXT4 (lagfix), I finally feel quite good with the SGS2. It will have to take some serious specs to get me to upgrade as the SGS2 is still kicking ass in my books and really don't feel a lack of anything in this phone just yet. Lets see what the real SGS3 has to offer when the official word comes. Definitely look forward to it.

It is a fact that Sammy is not going to show the s3 on mwc, but maybe the new galaxy tab is on the way with the same exynos 5250 soc on board. You can check my blog for details good byte gr

You will need Google translate for that.
[Galaxy S III General] dazza_84:
Apparently rumour has it that they won't be introducing it at mwc but they will launch it at the Olympics due to maybe having more advertising, I read that on twitter bout 20 mins ago
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It will go head to head with the next iPhone!

Obviously the delay is due to the Yanks just getting their version, would make no sense to release or even announce another one as the USA is a big market!

Gutted but hopefully the delay means we get a good upgrade.

Now my question is, who is going to upgrade to something else that comes out of MWC?
[Galaxy S III General] DarkDvr:
I seriously doubt that QuadCore will in reality be better than my dualcore SGSII.

I mean, anything faster than this will only be achieved by optimizing software. It's at the point where you can plop in an i7 @ 3.2GHz in it, and it will run the same.

The actual issue that many DO have - is battery life. And I don't really see how plopping in a more powerful hardware will help that problem.

Samsung promised better battery-life focus in 2012. Let's hope they weren't kidding.

And if you're increasing screen size and CPU, you better put in a better/bigger battery.

Oh, and regarding availability - as usual, US will be the last. Galaxy Note is still waiting for official release.

And guess what? Remember that country, Kazakhstan, where Borat "went" to make fun of? Well, I was born there (obviously it's nothing like in the movie), and Galaxy Note is old news there. It's been released a long time ago, everyone who wanted one already has one, and it impresses no one.

So yeah. Go USA!..
